Position title: Scientist
Company: Lundbeck
Location: La Jolla CA

Summary of position: You will be a key contributor to multi-disciplinary project teams supporting early discovery programs through establishing MS-based assays to enable the discovery and development of high-quality small molecule therapeutics. A majority of your work will be lab-based, focused on the exploration, development and implementation of innovative MS techniques to characterize small molecule-protein interactions in living systems and to address other novel scientific questions. The job will entail establishing robust sample preparation protocols and developing targeted and untargeted MS acquisition methods suited for quantitative analysis of peptide analytes within complex peptide mixtures derived from biological matrices. We offer the opportunity to join a dynamic and energetic team of qualified colleagues working in a leading CNS specialized drug discovery organization. The group is well-supported with multiple Orbitrap mass spectrometers, including an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos, and a high-performance cluster for data analysis. A dedicated computational biologist will support proteomics data analysis, curation and management through automated pipelines and through maintenance of a proprietary chemoproteomic database facilitating tracking and mining of all internal proteomics data. The group is actively engaged in both drug discovery and basic research at the frontiers of neuroscience and you will have the opportunity to collaborate and publish with world-class academic labs as highlighted in Cell reports, 31(12), 107805.

Postdoc position bridging Tumor Immunology and Proteomics at Utrecht University

Immuno-oncology is a promising new area within the field of basic, translational and clinical cancer research and recent years have seen breakthroughs where (otherwise untreatable) patients have been cured by novel immunotherapies. Immuno-oncology focusses on understanding the relationship between the tumor and the patients’ own immune system, with the aim to target the cancer or microenvironment with antibodies or immune cells. Central to this approach is the identification of unique antigens presented by the tumor cells and immunological characterization of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Mass spectrometry provides the much-needed hypothesis-free window to discovery specific and novel tumor antigens, and reveal the intricacies of the tumor immunological landscape. In this position, you will participate in the PMC-UMCU-UU tumor immunology initative, and work alongside immunologists and clinicians in joint efforts, within the strong collaborative network of the immune-oncology research community in Utrecht. A background in proteomics and tumor immunology would be appreciated.

INFORMATION

Position: Postdoc
Location: Utrecht University, Utrecht, Netherlands
Duration: 3 years
Start date: After consultation; as soon as possible
Background: immunology, affinity purification, mass spectrometry
