This post is full time and open ended with funding available up until 31^st July 2027.

The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 570 years, and today we are one of the world's top 100 universities.  We are delighted to have recently been awarded Scottish University of the Year by the Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.

Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

We are seeking a dedicated Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Scientist to provide specialist scientific leadership in our proteomics platform development and validation projects.

The position is in Prof. Patrick Gunning's group and the successful candidate will work with research colleagues to enable research outcomes, particularly leading the development of innovative proteomic workflows utilizing MS systems and advanced acquisition techniques, including DIA and PRM. This role emphasizes robust maintenance and troubleshooting of mass spectrometry instruments, ensuring seamless operation, and maximizing data integrity for proteomics experiments.

The post holder will be proficient in advanced acquisition techniques (DIA and PRM) and will have familiarity with data analysis platforms such as Skyline, FragPipe, and Proteome Discoverer. Additionally, you will have demonstrated hands-on experience with Orbitrap mass spectrometry systems and hands-on experience in cell culture methods and preparation of material derived from it for proteomics applications (i.e. differential protein expression).

Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be directed to Jay (Wojciech) Stec at Wojciech.Stec@glasgow.ac.uk
