What started in 2019 as a campus spin-off has grown into one of Europe's leading pre-seed funds, backing 50+ deeply technical startups that reshape industries from new industrials to novel computing.
With our €35M+ second fund in full swing and Fund III on the horizon, we're hiring a Research Analyst to further expand our presence in the realm of Physical & Computational Biology.
We believe great teams create the future, and we're here to back them early and support them deeply. The same applies to our own team: we win as a team (not individuals), believe in high agency & independence, and have every team member participate directly in the fund's economic upside.
As a Research Analyst you are responsible for our expansion into the world of physical & computational biology. You will work closely with the investment team to shape our investment thesis in this field and identify game-changing opportunities. You will independently research the field of biology, especially at the interface with the deeply physical and computational sciences. This role is designed for 6-12 months, with the possibility to transform into a full time investment role after that.
Actively form our investment thesis in physical & computational biology.
Identify key opinion leaders and build a network of experts from biotech & pharma companies as well as relevant research institutes. Lead deep-dive research: Investigate the intersection of biology & deep tech and support the investment team by sourcing promising start-ups that align with our strategy.
You have a strong academic background in biology, biotechnology or a related field. PhDs are encouraged to apply. You understand the role of data in biotech and you have a good idea about strategies for data collection and utilisation.
You have ideally gained first practical experience in a fast-paced environment such as startups or engineering competitions.
You communicate clearly and convincingly in both German and English, whether you're pitching an idea to the team or speaking to key opinion leaders.
Benefits
You'll make independent decisions and your research will ultimately form our investment thesis in the field of physical & computational biology.
