Job description
The Omic Sciences Department carries out its activities using stateoftheart infrastructures at the Centre for Omic Sciences (COS) a unique center equipped with the latest metabolomics proteomics transcriptomics and genomics technologies. It offers a comprehensive range of biomarker research services across health food and environmental sectors from project design support to the analysis and integration of data obtained from various omics technologies.
We are seeking an experienced and highly skilled Specialist Proteomics researcher to join our cuttingedge Proteomics Platform. The successful candidate will work closely with researchers and industry partners to advance proteomics methodologies particularly in ultrasensitive quantitative proteomics posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and integrative multiomics approaches.
RESPONSABILITIES
As a valued member of our team your role encompasses several critical dimensions:
Expert operation and maintenance of stateoftheart LCMS/MS systems.
Development and optimization of novel nanoLCMS/MS workflows including labelfree quantification targeted proteomics and DIA (DataIndependent Acquisition) workflows.
Indepth proteomic analysis of complex biological samples (tissues cell lines biofluids) with a focus on posttranslational modifications (PTMs) glycoproteomics and interaction proteomics.
Implementation of advanced mass spectrometry techniques for global and targeted proteomics including TMTlabelling and affinityenrichment workflows.
Integration of proteomics data with other omics platforms (e.g. metabolomics transcriptomics) to support interdisciplinary biological research.
Data processing and bioinformatics analysis using tools such as Spectronaut MaxQuant Proteome Discoverer Skyline.
Scientific consulting and collaboration with research teams to design experiments analyze results and interpret biological insights.
Handson supervision of proteomics projects ensuring highquality data acquisition and analysis.
Training and mentoring of PhD students postdoctoral researchers and users in proteomics techniques and data analysis.
Scientific dissemination through participation in national and international conferences workshops and peerreviewed publications.
Routine laboratory management including instrument calibration troubleshooting and compliance with ISO9001certified quality standards.
Interested candidates should submit:
A cover letter describing their motivation to join the Center and how their expertise aligns with the research goals.
Requirements
Qualifications:
PhD in Analytical Chemistry Biochemistry Molecular Biology or a related field.
Alternatively a minimum of 5 years of handson experience in mass spectrometrybased proteomics with a strong focus on posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and glycoproteomics analysis.
Knowledge and Experience:
Extensive experience in nanoLCMS/MSbased proteomics including sample preparation enzymatic digestion isobaric labeling and chromatographic optimization.
Strong expertise in Orbitrap mass spectrometry.
Proficiency in mass spectrometry data processing and bioinformatics tools (e.g. MaxQuant Spectronaut Proteome Discoverer).
Experience in quantitative proteomics workflows including DIA TMT and SILAC.
Solid understanding of PTMs glycoproteomics and phosphoproteomics workflows.
Experience in highthroughput automated sample preparation using liquidhandling robotics.
Fluency in English (both written and spoken B1 level) with proficiency in Spanish and Catalan considered an asset.
Ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary international research environment.
Strong communication and presentation skills for effective collaboration with academic and industry partners.
Additional Valued Skills:
Experience working in a core facility industry or research infrastructure.
Experience in protein structural analysis and integrative omics approaches.
Background in mass spectrometry imaging (MALDIimaging) and small molecule analysis.
Expertise in native mass spectrometry and interaction proteomics.
Programming and data analysis skills (e.g. Python R) are highly desirable.
Required Experience:
Unclear Seniority
