Oroboros Careers

Open positions

Technician / Biomedical scientist

Ensuring the excellent quality of our daily work in the MitoFit laboratory your tasks contain:

• Respirometry measurements with various biological samples as well as measurements of further mitochondrial parameters (ROS production, mt-membrane potential, ATP production, Ca 2+) by high-resolution respirometery in combination with fluorescence measurements.
• Analytical measurements on biological samples: Cell count, protein content, spectrophotometric determination of enzyme activities
• Application, evaluation and development of protocols
• Cell culture and sample preparation, production of buffers, chemicals and media.
• Maintenance and development of the O2k-FluoRespirometer
• Updating User-Manuals
• Administrative tasks in the laboratory

Your skills:

• Completed training as a biomedical scientist or similar relevant experience
• Proficiency in English
• Pro-active approach
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Attention to detail and careful working method
• Excellent interpersonal skills
• Teamwork
• Flexibility

Postdoctoral researcher

In the Mitochondrial Research Laboratory of Prof. Erich Gnaiger the latest techniques in O2k-Fluorometry and O2k-Spectrophotometry are available and a Power-O2k approach with up to 24 O2k-instruments (48 chambers) provides the basis of high-output in high-resolution respirometry.

Your initial key responsibilities will be:

• Scientific projects on mitochondrial function, including potential collaboration with partners such as the Medical University of Innsbruck
• Participation in the research and development of our products, including work on the NextGenO2k and other prototypes.

Following in-depth training provided by Oroboros, you may also be asked to:

• Conduct on-site visits to customers
• Lead training courses on our methods and instruments
• Provide technical customer support

Your skills:

• PhD in biological sciences or closely related field
• Background in mitochondrial physiology is a plus
• Proficiency in English
• Pro-active approach
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Attention to detail and careful working method
• Excellent interpersonal skills
• Teamwork
• Flexibility

Oroboros in brief

Oroboros Instruments is a life science company located in Innsbruck. The company’s focus is on mitochondria and cell research. Oroboros distributes the gold standard technology for high-resolution respirometry - HRR – in 49 countries world-wide and is a scientifically oriented organization with emphasis on continuous innovation.

Instrumental development of the existing O2k technology as well as possible applications are the key of Oroboros Instruments’ leadership on the market. The extension of the Oroboros O2k to the O2k-FluoRespirometer (integrating fluorescence measurements) set a new standard and will be continued by the NextGen-O2k. The NextGen-O2k will combine high-resolution respirometry with O2k-Spectrofluorometry (including ratiometric measurements), NADH autofluorescence, O2k-Spectrophotometry (allowing for simultaneous measurement of redox states of the cytochromes aa₃, c, and b), and a Q-redox sensor. It will have integrated optical elements beyond the modular options of the presently available Oroboros O2k. Furthermore, by expanding High-Resolution Respirometry from a two-chamber to a multi-chamber device the research instrument will become a future tool as a medical device.
