Job Description
A scientist or senior scientist position is available at the Functional Proteomics Laboratory for setting up, developing methods and performing targeted and untargeted metabolomics experiments. You will work on mass spectrometry-based identification of small molecule binders of RNA and small molecule metabolomics projects.
- Develop and run standardized protocols for untargeted metabolomics (or targeted metabolomics panels) for small molecule analysis.
- Design workflows and optimize analytical methods for performing targeted/untargeted metabolomics experiments for different sample mediums (Plasma/Urine/Tissue).
- Work with different collaborators and lead projects for small molecule metabolomics analysis on various sample types.
- Conceptualise, design and develop metabolomics assays for quantification of small molecules.
- Write and present research findings for conferences and publications.
- Contribute to project management, provision of guidance to junior researchers, including research officers.
Job Requirements
- Ph.D. degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Chemical Biology, Analytical Chemistry or a related discipline.
- Strong expertise in small molecule mass spectrometry metabolomics (preferred untargeted small molecule metabolomics expertise) with good publication record.
- Experience with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry instrumentation, sample preparation techniques, data acquisition and interpretation.
- At least 2 years working experience in the field of metabolomics will be preferred.
- Proficiency in data processing, data analysis and interpretation will be advantageous.
- Responsible, organized, able to work independently and with a team.
- Good communication skills for scientific presentation and scientific writing.
- Optional: Prior experience with R or other data analysis tools
