Role Overview:
This Scientist will support Discovery Proteomics and internal target-discovery efforts. The position is heavily laboratory-based and requires hands-on experience with mass spectrometry-based proteomics, including LC-MS workflows, sample preparation, and proteomics data analysis. Work may include activities such as sample preparation, pull-down/enrichment-type workflows, PTM analysis, LC-MS operation/troubleshooting, and downstream proteomics data analysis.
Candidate Profile:- Preferred Education/Experience: PhD preferred; a fresh PhD is acceptable
- Master's degree may be considered with approximately 5+ years of relevant experience
- Previous industry experience is not necessarily required if the candidate has strong, directly applicable academic/research experience
Core Requirements:- Hands-on LC-MS / mass spectrometry-based proteomics experience
- Ability to independently operate, evaluate, and troubleshoot LC-MS systems/workflows
- Experience with commonly used proteomics data-analysis software
- Experience preparing samples for mass spectrometry analysis
StrongWe are seeking a Scientist-level contract worker with expertise in LC-MS-based proteomics. The Scientist will support early discovery programs and technology platforms through discovery and targeted proteomic analyses, including cell surface proteomics, proximity labeling, target validation, and mechanism-of-action studies. The role requires hands-on expertise in proteomic sample preparation, LC-MS operation, and quantitative proteomics data analysis.
