  Description:       


Invitrogen Dynal was established in 1986 and has been owned by Invitrogen Corporation since April 2005. Invitrogen http://www.invitrogen.com is a key partner in the global life science community. Invitrogen?s Quest is to better the human condition through innovations in science and technology. Invitrogen provides products and services that support academic and government research institutions as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In 2008, Invitrogen merged with Applied Biosystems and the two companies now form "Life Technologies" - a truly global Life Science company with 9500 employees worldwide.

Invitrogen Dynal is the industry leader in magnetic bead technologies that are used in cell separation and purification, cell stimulation, protein research, nucleic acid research and microbiology.

We currently have two open positions at Lillestr?m, 1 permanent position and 1 temporary position (1 year) as SCIENTISTS - polymer and surface chemistry.

The R&D Particles group at Invitrogen Dynal is located in modern facilities in Svelleveien 29 at Lillestr?m just outside Oslo. The group consists of 10 people and is responsible for the chemical development of new magnetic monosized beads for bio-applications.

Main activities:

    * plan, design and execute experimental work in the laboratory
    * participate in research projects from early feasibility stages to product launches
    * interact with application specialists in other parts of R&D as well as process development, and production teams through various stages of the product development phases
    * contribute to expand our knowledge within the field of polymer chemistry

Desired qualifications and attributes:

    * PhD or MS with documented experience and knowledge
    * experienced researcher within one of the following fields: synthetic polymer chemistry, surface modification chemistry or magnetic materials
