We seek to fill a postdoctoral position in our research group. The topic of the research project will be the coupling of a novel plasma ionization source for high-resolution mass spectrometry with solid-phase microextraction, characterization and further development of this hyphenated method, and development of promising analytical applications. This project is a collaboration with a major manufacturer and supplier of SPME and lab automation devices. State-of-the-art MS instrumentation is available in our group, and world-class departmental facilities (mechanical and electronic workshops, library services, computing facilities, etc.) are accessible at ETH Zurich.

Prerequisites: Ph.D. degree in chemistry or related area, strong background in analytical chemistry and instrumentation, motivated to work with an industrial partner. Further information: see http://www.zenobi.ethz.ch/research/ambient-mass-spectrometry.html. Starting date: January 2017, or upon mutual agreement.

Applications with CV, publication list, and 2 letters of recommendation should be sent directly to Prof. Renato Zenobi, by mid September 2016.

Postdoktoranden-Stelle, ETH Zürich / Chemie

In unserer Forschungsgruppe ist eine Postdoktorandenstelle neu zu besetzen. Das Forschungsthema betrifft die Kopplung einer neuartigen Plasma-Ionisationsquelle für die hochauflösende Massenspektrometrie mit Festphasen-Mikroextraktionsmethode, die Charakterisierung und Weiterentwicklung dieser gekoppelten Analysenmethode sowie die Entwicklung vielverprechender analytischer Anwendungen. Das Projekt ist eine Zusammenarbeit mit einem wichtigen Hersteller und Lieferanten von SPME Materialien und Laborautomations-Geräten.

Voraussetzungen: Abgeschlossenes Doktorat in Chemie oder einem verwandten Gebiet, sehr gute Kenntnisse in Analytischer Chemie, Freude an Instrumenten-Entwicklung und an einer Zusammenarbeit mit einem Industrie-Partner. Weitere Informationen unter http://www.zenobi.ethz.ch/research/ambient-mass-spectrometry.html. Beginn: Januar 2017 oder nach Vereinbarung.

Bewerbungen bis Mitte September 2016 mit CV, Publikationsliste, und 2 Empfehlungsschreiben direkt an Prof. Renato Zenobi

Have proteomics experience and interested in cell signalling/cancer research? A postdoc position is now available with Dr. Patrick Eyers and Prof. Claire Eyers (Centre for Proteome Research) at the University of Liverpool. Application deadline Friday 2nd September.

The laboratories of Dr Patrick Eyers and Professor Claire Eyers evaluate human phosphoproteomes using a variety of approaches, including biochemistry, transcriptomiccs, chemical biology and mass spectrometry. We are looking for an experienced cell signalling or MS-based phosphoproteomics researcher to lead a North West Cancer Research (NWCR) funded project to evaluate the Polo-like kinase 4 signalling pathway and its role in cancer. You will have a PhD in Biochemistry, Pharmacology or a related biological science, a strong interest in protein phosphorylation, and demonstrable knowledge and experience of mass spectrometry for cell signalling analysis. The post is available immediately for 1 year initially, with the possibility of a 2 year extension.

The University of Bordeaux opened a competitive call for its international post-doctoral program (beginning of contract: July to December 2017).

Excellent candidates within 4 years of obtaining their PhD (+ parental leave conditions) are welcome to apply.

Call details: http://idex.u-bordeaux.fr/n/Talents/International-Post-Doctorates/r3137.html

The research project must be supported by a host lab in Bordeaux. My team is willing to support one candidate, with a project in the broad fields of structural mass spectrometry, nucleic acids structure, and/or non-covalent assemblies.

Call deadline: November 27^th, 2016.

Interested candidates can email me a CV and a half-page project outline, preferably one month in advance of the call.

I would be grateful if you could forward this announcement to potential applicants.

 

Best regards,

 

Valérie Gabelica.
