MIP Chemist
Miejsce pracy: Warszawa
Your responsibilities
- Own nanoMIP synthesis end-to-end: design, develop, and optimise polymerisation, crosslinking, and imprinting protocols. If a protocol works — document it. If it does not — diagnose and improve it.
- Run the full characterisation pipeline: DLS (size, PDI, aggregation, stability), zeta potential, TEM, and BLI — against defined validation criteria and batch acceptance thresholds.
- Evaluate nanoMIP performance: binding affinity (Kd), selectivity (MIP vs. control), and colloidal stability. Results should be clear, quantitative, and reproducible.
- Develop, author, and maintain SOPs for critical chemical processes, along with QC methods aligned with internal validation standards.
- Maintain rigorous, real-time documentation: batch records, lab notebooks, validation reports. If it is not documented, it did not happen.
- Collaborate closely with physicists, engineers, regulatory, and quality teams — translating chemistry into actionable inputs for development.
- Work with subcontractors and technology partners: evaluate capabilities, coordinate work, and verify outputs before internal integration.
- Contribute to patents, publications, and grant applications to expand the company’s IP portfolio and support R&D funding.
- Co-create the R&D agenda: monitor scientific developments, propose directions, and proactively drive the science forward.
Our requirements
- MSc or PhD in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science, or a closely related field.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in the design, synthesis, and application of nanoMIPs or closely related polymer systems (e.g. molecularly imprinted polymers, hydrogel nanoparticles).
- Strong expertise in nanoparticle characterisation: DLS, zeta potential, TEM; experience with BLI or SPR for binding analysis is highly preferred.
- Experience working with or developing SOPs in a regulated or quality-driven R&D environment.
- Ability to work independently and make methodological decisions — this role requires ownership, not step-by-step execution.
- Strong documentation discipline: real-time lab notebooks, batch records, and validation reporting.
- Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and communicate complex scientific concepts to non-chemists.
- Working proficiency in English (documentation, publications, external communication).
Optional
- Experience with NTA, TRPS, or other particle tracking / resistive pulse sensing methods.
- Background in biosensor development or integration of recognition materials into devices.
- Publications or patents in the MIP / nanoMIP field.
- Familiarity with grant funding processes (e.g. NCBiR, ERC, Horizon Europe).
- Experience with solid-phase imprinting techniques.
What we offer
- Ownership over a technology that does not yet exist at commercial scale
- A real impact on scientific direction — not just execution. Your ideas will shape the R&D agenda.
- A small, senior team with direct communication, fast problem-solving, and a no-politics environment.
- Direct contribution to IP: your work feeds into patents, publications, and long-term competitive advantage.
- Access to a fully equipped lab with advanced characterisation infrastructure (DLS, zeta, TEM, BLI) and a strong external partner network.
Benefits
- sharing the costs of sports activities
- private medical care
- sharing the costs of professional training & courses
- flexible working time
Scope Fluidics S.A.
Hybolic is one of the subsidiary companies within the Scope Fluidics group - a venture studio focused on creating and scaling breakthrough life science technologies. At Hybolic, we are developing a novel biosensing device targeting insulin, with the ambition to bring meaningful improvements to patients’ lives.
This is an opportunity to build — to apply your expertise in molecularly imprinted polymers within a broader device development context, in an environment that combines scientific depth, ownership, and real impact.
You will be part of a growing venture, with access to expertise, infrastructure, and the responsibility to move the science forward.
