Leuven, Flandre, Belgique miDiagnostics Temps plein
We are looking for an experienced and talented Scientist in order to strengthen our Research Surface Chemistry team.


As a Scientist Surface functionalization you will be working in a group that identify dedicated surface chemistries, develops and optimizes Silicon-chip surface functionalization processes for next diagnostic product generations.


The processes will be focused around different surface modification of Si: (plasma) cleaning, thin organic film depositions (CVD) and surface spotting activities.

Investigating and controlling the chip surface interaction with various biomaterials and fluids as well as the surface antifouling and shelf-life are the focus of the group.


Your main responsibilities will be:

  • Develop the surface chemistry for the product range;
  • Take ownership in organizing experiments, evaluating and interpreting the data, and writing scientific reports and documentation;
  • Plan/design studies for the development, evolution and optimization of chemical processes within the project scope and timelines;
  • Execute studies, analyse data, summarize/present results and write study reports independently;
  • Contribute to projects requiring chemistry support in other research areas;
  • Participate in identifying/trouble shooting experimental issues and recommending solutions;
  • Find solutions to problems in a creative and scientifically sound way;
  • Maintain well organized laboratory notebooks in compliance with relevant procedures.
You will report to the Lead of the Surface Chemistry team.

  • PhD degree or Master with equivalent industry experience in: (Bio)Chemistry, (either Pure or Applied) (bio)chemical engineering, (bio)chemistry engineering technology;
  • Minimum 3 years of relevant industrial experience in diagnostics device development or IVD product Research & Development;
  • Experience in cleaning and coating technology is highly desirable;
  • Strong knowledge of silicon surface chemistry and surface characterization is a strong plus;
  • Experience in coating technology, particularly chemical vapour deposition (CVD);
  • Ability to Independently lead specific work packages;
  • Handson and resourceful problem solver;
  • Very good technical writing and communication skills;
  • Attention to detail and ability to work in a structured and methodological way;
  • Teamplayer;
  • Eagerness to learn novel concepts and technologies;
  • An excellent knowledge of English is a must (spoken and written);
  • You feel comfortable in a startup environment and you can easily switch from one task to another;
  • You appreciate working in an open space amongst enthusiastic, multidisciplinary and international colleagues;
  • It is essential that you hold entitlement to work and live in Belgium. Our offices are located in Leuven (Belgium). Relocation to Belgium is needed.
