R&D Scientist
About the role
At Navinci, we are passionate about understanding biology and disease at a deeper level. We develop technologies and applications that help researchers study proteins, signaling pathways, cellular biology, and molecular mechanisms directly in biological samples.
Our work spans tissue and cell-based systems and increasingly combines information from multiple technologies and data types to generate richer biological insight. We collaborate with leading academic groups, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical partners worldwide to advance research and translational science.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for 2–3 scientists with different backgrounds and expertise to join our R&D team. We are interested in people who are excited by science, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to contribute to the development of innovative research tools and technologies.
Whether your background is in cell biology, tissue biology, spatial biology, immunology, biomarker research, assay development, translational science, omics technologies, or technology development, we would love to hear from you.
What you will do
Design, execute, optimize, and troubleshoot biological assays and laboratory experiments
Analyze and interpret data, generate robust and reproducible results, and communicate clear conclusions
Document experimental work according to quality standards and contribute to scientific decision-making
Collaborate across R&D, Operations, and Commercial teams
Support development of new applications, products, technologies, and improved ways of working
Must-have qualifications
MSc or PhD in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Medical Science, or a related field
Hands-on experience with immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and other in situ staining and detection methods
Experience working with both tissue samples and cell-based models
Experience designing, executing, and troubleshooting biological experiments
