PostDoc / Staff Scientist (m/f/d) | Proteomics Core Facility

 

The Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology (MPIterMic) is a leading institution in microbiological research. The MPIterMic consists of four departments and several department-independent research groups with approximately 300 people from more than 30 nations working at the institute. The daily language in the institute is English.

The institute has established state-of-the art proteomics platforms that develop and integrate cutting-edge mass spectrometric (MS) technology. In order to further advance the technological possibilities, we invite applications for a full time position to fill the PostDoc/Staff Scientist .

Your responsibilities

You will become part of a team that drives the development of proteomics solutions to realize quantitative investigations of (micro)biological systems. The Proteomics Core provides a wide range of integrated workflows using data dependent and independent acquisition as well as targeted approaches. Your main responsibility will focus on the implementation of crosslinking strategies using FAIMS-MS, and microbial phosphoproteomics for the investigation of global signaling mechanisms. Further responsibilities include machine maintenance and the support of the local scientists in their research.

Your profile

Applicants should have a degree (ideally PhD) in a proteomics related discipline. Experience in sample preparation, MS handling and data analysis are essential. Hands-on structural proteomic and/or phosphoproteomic workflow experience are beneficial. We seek a good communicator who is able to interact with scientists from a variety of backgrounds, is team-oriented and enjoys working in a highly collaborative and fast paced, evolving research environment.

The position is initially limited to two years, but can be extended based on performance.

Equal opportunity

As an equal opportunity employer, the Max Planck Society is committed to employing more individuals with disabilities. We therefore actively encourage individuals with disabilities to apply. We also seek to increase the percentage of female employees in areas where they are underrepresented. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply. The Max Planck Society strives for gender and diversity equality. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
