Working Student (m/f/d) in Chemistry

Nanogami is a highly innovative and rapidly growing startup in the field of DNA Origami-based nanotechnology (check out our DLD Talk or this article to learn more). Our international team is driven by a shared vision: to pioneer a novel generation of biochips set to unlock applications in research and diagnostics and thereby pushing the boundaries of personalised medicine to new heights. In 2022 we secured significant funding by SPRIND - Germany’s Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation to realize our ambitious growth trajectory and now aim to significantly expand our current team to support the at-scale commercialisation of our nanotechnology.

We are looking for a motivated Working Student (m/f/d) to join our innovative biochip team. In this role, you will be an important part of our laboratory operations, with a focus on reagent preparation and biochip production processes. You will support critical surface functionalization work and quality control procedures that enable our application teams to develop new, innovative biotechnology products.

Your Impact:

• Prepare and synthesize reagents for biochip production processes
• Support surface functionalization and immobilization procedures on microstructured substrates
• Perform routine analytical testing including spectroscopy, pH measurements, and concentration analysis
• Assist with quality control procedures and maintain accurate process documentation
• Ensure laboratory cleanliness and adherence to standard operating procedures
• Work collaboratively with laboratory team members and support process improvement initiatives

• Currently enrolled in a Munich University in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Materials Science, or related field
• Basic knowledge of laboratory techniques and analytical methods (spectroscopy, pH measurement)
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and ability to follow SOPs
• Good communication skills and willingness to learn new techniques

• Hands-on research experience in an interdisciplinary team with cutting-edge biotechnology projects
• Start-up environment with real growth opportunities and collaborative, partnership-based culture
• Diverse laboratory work in modern facilities with access to state-of-the-art equipment
• Flexible scheduling that prioritizes your studies - we focus on results, not hours spent in the lab
• Competitive student salary that recognizes your valuable contribution to our research
