Hi everyone

After a few years in the US I recently left San Diego and returned home to
Switzerland to take a new position in Bern. And one of my first duties is to
fill another position ! As a former ex-pat I know how difficult it can be to
find a suitable position back home, so feel free to tell everyone you know
about it.

Here's the details: We have an open position for a cell biologist / cell
culture specialist. The person should have a recent PhD in Immunology or cell
biology, should be familiar with human cell cultures, preferentially B-cells
and hybridomas, excellent knowledge of FACS techniques as well as a good
knowledge and understanding of standard techniques in immunology. Good
knowledge of computers and standard software (MS office, etc) is a must. A year
of post-doc experience and/or experience in supervising technicians would be
nice but not necessary. The person would be in charge of optimizing fusion
protocols, optimizing cell culture conditions of existing hybridomas for
increased production as well as batch culture systems for small scale
productions. Furthermore the person would be in charge of running his/her own
project, including generation of antigen-specific antibodies, characterization
and validation of lead antibodies for the clinical development, etc. Initially
the position would be within the Berna Biotech organization but the goal is to
get the department of immunology independent (within the next 3 months) and
form a spin-off company focusing on the human monoclonal technology. We
currently can make fully human antibodies from human B-cells using a human
fusion partner in order to form hybridomas. We have one mAb in clinical trials
(phase II) and a few more projects to come.

If you know someone qualified or you know a friend of a friend looking for a
similar position, please feel free to hand them my coordinates, or direct them
to the ad on the internet
(http://www.bernabiotech.com/careers/description/id.84). Please point out that
the position would be for a spin off company independent of Berna and
therefore the Berna Biotech web page is not 100% relevant for what we do.

Thanks for your help and good luck
