The Role and Department
The Department of Biosciences is composed of academic staff and research fellows with research and teaching interests that span the broad spectrum of the Biosciences. The Department studies biology from the smallest to the largest scales; from the structures and functions of biological molecules, through to cells, tissues and organisms and to the entire global ecosystem. The interests of academic staff include all types of living organisms, from bacteria, through the plant and animal kingdoms, to human health and disease.
The Department seeks to appoint an Experimental Officer providing Bioanalytics/metabolomics expertise in the Department of Biosciences, overseeing a metabolomic analytical infrastructure comprising state-of-the-art chromatography and mass spectrometry infrastructure.
The post holder will be responsible for the running of the bioanalytics facility and will work under an academic Facility lead, alongside an Experimental Officer in proteomics. The job will involve 1) the maintenance of the infrastructure and providing advice on its future development; 2) the extraction and analysis of a range of biological samples for staff and students; 3) training of postgraduate students and postdoctoral scientists in these techniques and 4) exchanging expertise with other mass spectrometry staff in the Faculty. The facility is currently equipped with a Sciex QTRAP 6500 mass spectrometer, linked to a Shimadzu Nexera X2 LC system; Shimadzu GC-MS, comprising a GC2010 and QP2010 Plus detector; Waters Acquity LC with photodiode array (PDA) and fluorescence detectors; and a Waters Acquity UPC2 SFC system, with a PDA module and QDa mass detector.
