ifp Privates Institut für Produktqualität

Research Scientist

• Development and improvement of ifp's proprietary test systems with respect to functionality, usability and manufacturability (PCR, ELISA, microbiology-based tests)
• Planning, execution and evaluation of experiments for product optimization (sensitivity, LoD, specificity, robustness, inhibitor tolerance, reproducibility)
• Initial focus on PCR kits and DNA extraction workflows: column-based extraction, magnetic-bead-based extraction
• Protocol development and process stabilization
• Troubleshooting for anomalies in application/performance (internally and from customer feedback), including root-cause analysis and deriving corrective actions
• Documentation in accordance with quality requirements
• Support for technology transfer into production
• Research on methods, reagents, raw materials and competing products, and evaluation of supplier materials

Scientific Research Associate – Research & Development

Manager

• Systematic project management: initiate projects, establish structures, and manage risks
• Apply agile and traditional methods where they make sense
• Keep resources, budget, and timelines in view and inform the right people at the right time
• Implement change practically: support integration projects (post‑merger, process harmonization)
• Facilitate workshops, identify resistance, and develop solutions
• Lead teams through change with clear communication
• Stakeholder management: executive management, leaders, and operational teams — you can communicate with all levels
• Management reports, decision papers, status meetings
• Work digitally: use PM tools effectively (not just deploy them)
• Digitize processes where there is added value
• Manage based on data rather than gut feeling
