As a result of our continuing growth, Labstat has the following employment opportunity available:

This position requires technical rigor, structured thinking, and the ability to critically evaluate data systems and analytical documentation. It is a governance and oversight function—not a clerical reporting role.

Primary responsibilities of the job

1. LIMS Master Data Management

- Configure and maintain master data within Labstat’s custom LIMS, including:
- Test code setup and maintenance
- Calculation block request evaluation, implementation, and independent validation
- Base table management and controlled data structure maintenance

- Verify that calculation logic implemented in LIMS accurately reflects approved methods.
- Maintain documentation supporting configuration changes, traceability, and version control.
- Identify structural risks or inconsistencies in requested configurations and recommend action.
- Collaborate with laboratory operations, quality, and IT to ensure system integrity.

2. Analytical Test Method Validation Reporting & Measurement Traceability

- Draft and/or perform technical review of analytical method validation reports.




- Confirm validation protocols appropriately evaluate required performance characteristics (e.g., accuracy, precision, linearity, range, specificity, detection limits, quantitation limits, robustness, and measurement uncertainty as applicable).
- Independently assess statistical analyses supporting validation conclusions, including examples such as:
- Precision calculations (repeatability and intermediate precision)
- Bias and recovery assessments
- Limit calculations (LOD/LOQ) and supporting justification

- Ensure complete measurement traceability by verifying that:

- Reported results trace directly to raw analytical data.
- All calculations are independently verified and aligned with approved system logic.

- Identify inconsistencies between executed experiments, statistical treatment, and reported conclusions.
- Ensure validation documentation is technically defensible and audit-ready.

Integration Requirement

Validated method parameters must be accurately translated into LIMS configuration, calculation blocks, reporting limits, and controlled documentation (Method Summaries and TPMFs).

- Develop, revise, and maintain Method Summaries and TPMF.
- Ensure alignment between:
- Approved analytical procedures
- Validated performance characteristics
- Reporting conventions and rounding practices

- Maintain document version control and traceability.




- Identify and resolve discrepancies between documented procedures and system configuration prior to release.

4. Spreadsheet Validation & Structured Design Support

- Validate spreadsheets used for laboratory calculations in accordance with internal data integrity standards.
- Perform detailed formula verification, logic tracing, stress testing, and boundary condition assessments.
- Identify structural risks in user-developed spreadsheets and recommend improvements.
- Ensure documentation and validation records are maintained for spreadsheet tools operating within scope.

Note: Spreadsheet validation activities operate independently of method validation reporting, although alignment with approved method requirements must be confirmed where applicable.

Minimum Qualifications

- BSc. or MSc with a focus on a chemistry and/or biology related field, or related scientific discipline
- At least 3 years’ experience working in a laboratory is a necessity. Previous experience working in either a GLP or ISO17025 environment would be an asset.
- Experience with LIMS configuration or laboratory data systems preferred.
- Experience drafting or reviewing analytical method validation reports preferred.
- Experience validating structured spreadsheets in a controlled workplace preferred.
