A new Center of Excellence, Center for Volatile Interactions, is recruiting a laboratory manager or laboratory technician starting in March 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is for five years with a possibility for extension.

The Center for Volatile Interactions (VOLT)
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a profound impact on local and regional climates. Yet, there is high uncertainty of this impact due to the lack of reliable estimates for natural emissions and uptake of these reactive volatiles. All organisms produce, and some consume, mixtures of diverse volatile compounds such as VOCs, reactive nitrogen gases (e.g., HONO), and sulfur/halogenated compounds (e.g., DMS and methylhalides). However, biological sources and sinks of volatiles, other than terrestrial plants, remain poorly characterized. In VOLT, we focus on VOC transformations associated with soil, cryptogams, freshwater, seawater, and glacial ice environments, as well as plant leaf and rhizosphere microbial communities. Our research encompasses field, experimental, and laboratory work and includes rate measurements, experiments with stable isotopes, and molecular analyses to assess volatile production/consumption processes and identify the organisms involved.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic, collaborative, and international research environment. VOLT is housed in Universitetsparken, Copenhagen, where we have laboratory facilities and state-of-the-art instrumentation for analyses of volatile compounds, molecular analyses of microbial community structure and activity, as well as incubation and climate chamber facilities. Marine Biological Section, located in Elsinore, provides state-of-the-art facilities for molecular and process based studies of marine microorganisms.

Main tasks and responsibilities
The candidate will be a vital part of the research activities at the research center and responsible for the operation and maintenance of the PTR-TOF-MS and GC-MS-instruments as well as related auxiliary instrumentation. This includes coordination of laboratory and field activities, quality control and calibration, problem solving, and assistance with technical installations in laboratory and field experiments, as well as providing technical support to the researchers. For example, the candidate will facilitate the design and develop incubation setups for plant, soil or water systems in laboratory experiments, including building the technical configurations and programming automation with data loggers/solenoid valves and PTR-MS software. The candidate will also participate in processing of raw measurement data using dedicated software and custom-made code. Other tasks include keeping track of equipment and consumables, purchasing equipment and consumables, and providing procedures and guidance in center’s database management.

Qualifications
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate, who has experience from research environments and who thrives in a dynamic research center supporting multiple research projects. The candidate may have a degree as a laboratory technician, a university degree in chemistry, environmental science, engineering or a related field, or other relevant education. Hands-on experience with PTR-MS or other online gas analytical instrumentation is a requirement. Hands-on experience with isotope labeling experiments and analyses, GC-MS analysis and maintenance, and programming skills (e.g., R statistical software, Arduino) are benefits. Fluency in written and spoken English is a requirement. The most important personal qualifications are good communication skills, flexibility and the ability to work independently, structured, organized, and goal-oriented.

Terms of salary and employment
If you are a skilled laboratory technician, the employment will be made in accordance with the Collective Agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and the Organisations of Public Employees – governmental institutions (the OAO-S collective agreement) and the Professional Agreement for clerical employees, laboratory technicians and IT-officers in the state. You will be employed as a laboratory technician at salary grade 5 or 6 (depending on your background), and the tasks and responsibilities may be adjusted correspondingly. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible. The working time is 37 hours per week on average. The working hours are flexible.

If you have a university degree, the employment and salary will be made in accordance with the Circular on the Collective Agreement concerning Academics in the state sector concluded between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and Academics (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Employment will be as academic officer. The salary is based on seniority. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible. The working time are 37 hours per week on average. The working hours are flexible.
