(Ref. 08/2022)

Job description

The mass spectrometry and proteomics technology platform at the FMP consists of an international team of enthusiastic and collaborative scientists, providing MS services to research groups within and outside of the FMP but also highly active in developing novel MS acquisition and analysis strategies. The research scope of the facility includes global quantitative proteome profiling, the identification of post-translational modifications in synthetic peptides and proteins, and cross-linking mass spectrometry. The platform hosts a range of state-of-the-art mass spectrometers, including LTQ-Orbitrap Fusion and Fusion Lumos, equipped with nano-UPLC systems. The successful candidate will work closely with the technical assistants in the facility, the PhD students and postdocs in the Liu lab and at the FMP. He/She needs to ensure optimized operation of the MS instruments, set up proteomics experiments, and assist researchers in interpretation of MS data. The position will be pointed initially for 2 years with the potential to be transferred into a permanent position after positive evaluation.
