Postdoctoral Fellow

Description

The Postdoctoral Fellow for the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will be responsible for contributing to the development and application of advanced proteomic technologies for the identification, quantification, and validation of biomarkers associated with neurodegeneration disease, obesity/diabetes, and infectious diseases
.

The Fellow will be expected to:

• Develop and refine novel mass spectrometry methodologies for proteomics and protein/peptide characterization.
• Investigate the role of extracellular vesicles as biomarkers in disease onset and progression.
• Apply these approaches to animal models of human disease and clinical samples to assess diagnostic and prognostic value.
• Engage in collaborative research with faculty and trainees across biology, chemistry, and bioinformatics.

This position provides access to state-of-the-art mass spectrometer instrumentation
, a highly collaborative research environment, and opportunities to publish in leading scientific journals. The appointment is ideally suited for candidates seeking to advance their expertise in translational proteomics and biomarker science while contributing to the development of non-invasive approaches for early disease detection and prognosis
.

• Recent Ph.D. in protein mass spectrometry, proteomics or related field, with demonstrated skills in analytical chemistry, MALDI, LC-MS/MS.
• Research experience in nano/micro scale liquid chromatography, electrospray ionization, high resolution mass spectrometry, protein biochemistry, top-down and bottom-up proteomics including project design, sample preparation and data analysis, PTM identification.

Candidates must apply in Interfolio  and provide the following materials for submission:

• Cover letter,
• CV,
• List of references with contact information, and
• Research Statement.
