Research Fellow in Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (103290-0324)

The University of Warwick Ion Cyclotron Resonance laboratory is hereby advertising a Research Fellow position in Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry. The position is completely open, and we encourage all applications. The position will be based at the University of Warwick in Coventry, United Kingdom, and will work with the existing instrumentation to deliver exciting results in the area of proteomics, polymers, complex mixtures, lipidomics, or glycomics, broadly defined.

The lab currently has a 15T solariX FTICR mass spectrometer, a 12T solariX FTICR mass spectrometer with a TIMS prototype source from Bruker, a timsTOF pro q-ToF mass spectrometer, a homebuilt 12T FTICR mass spectrometer, and a Waters Synapt G2 as well as a wide range of smaller equipment including HPLC, nano-LC, a nanospray column packing setup, Advion nanomate, wetlab with Millipore water, nanospray tip puller, centrifuges, speedvacs balances, -80 freezer, etcetera. The workhorse 12T and the 15T FTICR mass spectrometers are capable of ESI, nESI, APPI, APCI, MALDI, and MALDI imaging. They have quadrupole isolation and hexapole ion accumulation capability for selected ion accumulation, and CID, ECD, EID, EDD, ETD, IRMPD, and UVPD capabilities routinely available for tandem mass spectrometry. The lab is currently set up for 2-dimensional mass spectrometry using most of these tandem mass spectrometry methods and has in-place the data analysis tools needed.

For informal enquiries, please contact Prof. Peter O’Connor via email: [email protected] .

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
