Associate Application Specialist Flow Cytometry & Cell Sorting – Italy (m|f|d)

Miltenyi Biotec continues to grow — and our culture encourages you to shape ideas, act with ownership, and bring innovation to life. If you’re a scientist who loves solving real-world experimental puzzles, and you get energy from working with people as much as with technology, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

This is a field-based role in Italy, created to ensure strong coverage in the North-East region and continuity within our Flow application team.

WHAT YOU’LL DO (YOUR MISSION)

You’ll be the scientific partner for researchers, lab teams, and clinical/translational groups using flow cytometry and cell sorting — helping them move from “interesting idea” to “robust, reproducible results”.

• Support evaluation journeys end-to-end: from early discussions, to hands-on trials, to successful adoption.
• Be a high-impact problem solver: troubleshoot staining, panel design, instrument setup, sorting strategies, and data interpretation with calm clarity and scientific rigor.
• Deliver presentations, technical seminars, product demonstrations, and on-site trainings — including support with data analysis and reporting.
• Follow up after installations/trainings to ensure strong onboarding and confident routine use.
• Partner closely with the local commercial organization to generate new opportunities, support deal progression, and drive adoption of the Flow reagents portfolio.
• Help keep Miltenyi’s presence strong in a strategically important region — with the agility needed for upcoming launches and growing clinical activities (including Bone Marrow Transplantation).

WHERE YOU’LL WORK (TERRITORY & TEAM)

• Preferred home base: Milan–Padova–Bologna–Verona area, to enable efficient support across North-East Italy.
• You’ll join an Italian Flow set-up that includes Application Specialists based across Italy.
• Expect significant travel — you’ll spend many days on the road, in labs, at sites, and at events.

You don’t need to tick every box perfectly — but you should recognize yourself in most of the below.

WHO YOU ARE (WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT)

Scientific foundation

• Degree in life sciences (PhD preferred) or equivalent experience in immunology, cell biology, molecular biology, biotechnology, or related fields.
• Strong hands-on understanding of flow cytometry and/or cell sorting; you can speak confidently about experimental design and practical constraints.

Field mindset

• You love variety: different sites, different challenges, different people — and you adapt fast without losing quality.
• You’re the person others call when something “should work” but doesn’t — and you enjoy finding the root cause.
• You communicate clearly and credibly, from technician to PI.
• You work independently, but you’re genuinely collaborative — you share knowledge, build trust, and care about outcomes.

Practical requirements

• Willingness to travel extensively
• valid driving license

WHY THIS ROLE FEELS DIFFERENT

Because the impact is real. You’re not just supporting a technology — you’re helping scientists and clinical teams generate reliable results, accelerate decisions, and strengthen quality where it matters. Sometimes, that work connects directly to advanced therapy and quality control efforts that can ultimately support life-saving pathways.

What we offer

• A modern workplace and exciting opportunities in technologies.
• Cross-border collaboration, short communication paths, and a culture where ideas are welcomed.
• Flexible working model (field-based/home office when not travelling).
• Personal development through training and learning opportunities.
• Corporate benefits.
