Employee Scientific Coordination for the LPI (f/m/d)

# Employee Scientific Coordination for the LPI (f/m/d) in Jena The Leibniz Centre for Photonics in Infection Research ([LPI](http://lpi-jena.de/)) is a project of the National Roadmap for Research Infrastructures of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research ([BMBF](https://www.bmbf.de/bmbf/en/home/home_node.html)). As one of the supporting institutions of the LPI, the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies ([Leibniz-IPHT](https://www.leibniz-ipht.de/)) is looking for a part-time position (50%) as a # Employee Scientific Coordination (f/m/d) at the earliest possible date, limited until December 31, 2026. An extension will be sought if suitable and if project funds are available. The LPI is being established by a consortium of four supporting institutions ([Leibniz-HKI](https://www.leibniz-hki.de/), [Leibniz-IPHT](https://www.leibniz-ipht.de/), [FSU Jena](https://www.uni-jena.de/), [Universitätsklinikum Jena](https://www.uniklinikum-jena.de/)). In future, it will combine photonic technologies with infection research and thus contribute to the development of new methods for diagnosis, monitoring and therapy for human medicine. Research results will be transferred to clinical practice along the entire value chain. The LPI's research program is divided into basic technologies, in which the four supporting institutions jointly address various scientific and technological focal points in an interdisciplinary approach. As a user-open translational infrastructure, LPI makes newly developed demonstrators and methods available to external partners within the framework of joint projects. ## Your tasks: - In-house project management of the basic technologies of the LPI associated with Leibniz IPHT (coordination, controlling and documentation of the basic technologies in cooperation with the respective project managers/responsible persons for the basic technologies at Leibniz IPHT) - Coordination, controlling and documentation of the interfaces to the LPI network partners - Organisation of internal workshops and network meetings - Close cooperation with the coordinators of the basic technologies at Leibniz IPHT and at the partner institutions as well as LPI gGmbH ## Your qualification: Successful Master's degree or PhD in natural/life sciences (biology, physics, chemistry or comparable) ## We expect: - Experience in the university or non-university science sector - Relevant experience in project management - Excellent written and oral communication skills in especially German and English. A language certificate (CV, language certificate - level C1 to a maximum of B2) must be enclosed with the application documents. - High organizational competence - Independent, committed and reliable way of working - High willingness for interdisciplinary cooperation - Very good knowledge of common Office applications and affinity for digital, collaborative work ## We offer: - Your contribution to a globally unique infrastructure: The LPI will be a globally unique infrastructure for the development of market-ready solutions: The LPI closes the gap from application research to marketable products. Become part of the initiation team that is building this infrastructure. - An integrative and interdisciplinary work environment: As an LPI employee, you can translate cutting-edge photonic technologies into infection-fighting products in an interdisciplinary team spanning physics, biochemistry, technology, data science and medical sciences. The LPI brings excellent research, technology development and everyday clinical practice into close proximity. - Focusing efforts on the unmet medical need to successfully fight infections: Photonic technologies in combination with microfluidics, micro- and nanotechnologies, biotechnology, molecular techniques and artificial intelligence will revolutionize diagnostics and companion diagnostics for alternative therapies. At LPI, compact devices for the rapid and clear diagnosis of infections and new therapeutic approaches (e.g. with new anti-infectives, cell-based therapies and nanoparticles) are being researched and developed. - World-class equipment and facilities: The Leibniz IPHT offers a large variety of physics, chemistry, and biology labs at highest standards. Moreover, it holds state-of-the-art fiber-drawing and clean-room facilities (incl. lithography units), as well as microfluidics fabrication and big data computing units. Simply everything your interdisciplinary heart beats for. - A family-friendly working environment with a variety of offers for families: parent-child room, campus kindergarten places, family events etc. - Flexible working time models, 30 days vacation/year, special annual payment, bridging days and much more. ## Salary: The employment will be concluded with the Leibniz-IPHT, remuneration will be in accordance with the TV-L regulations and your qualifications and experience. ## About us: We are a modern, internationally oriented research institute. The compatibility of work and family is one of our central concerns. We value diversity and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of gender, disability, nationality or ethnic and social background. If women are underrepresented in the area of the advertised position, they will be given preferential consideration if they are equally qualified. ## Further information: Dr. Lisa Schmölz | 03641 206 017 | apply.job.25050952@hokifyjob.com Prof. Dr. Jürgen Popp | 03641 206 301 | apply.job.25050952@hokifyjob.com ## Application: Simply apply via our [job portal](https://www.leibniz-ipht.de/en/institute/career/job-portal/) (https://www.leibniz-ipht.de/en/institute/career/job-portal/) or send your application with the usual documents (CV, language certificate - level C1 to a maximum of B2, references) until January 10, 2025 by e-mail, preferably as one pdf file, quoting reference number 1333 to the: Leibniz-Institute of Photonic Technology Jena e.
