Title: Visiting Research Specialist (Lab Technician)

Company: Drew Lab, University of Illinois at Chicago

Location: Chicago, IL

Summary: The Drew Lab is accepting applications for a highly motivated and ambitious Visiting Research Specialist (Lab Tech) interested in studying macromolecular assemblies. The research in the Drew Lab has several ongoing projects focused on the identification, characterization, and modulation of assembly activity. Most projects aim to understand general principles of assemblies, but we also aim to better understand the role assemblies play in specific diseases such as ciliopathies. We do this using high throughput proteomics, machine learning, and molecular modeling. Further information about our current research can be found at ksdrew.github.io.

Summary of Position: The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Zurich seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor of Precision Proteomics (Non-Tenure Track) on a newly created position to be filled as soon as possible.

The position is limited to 6 years and is based at the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF) at the Davos Medical Campus and at the University of Zurich. The assistant professorship will be established as part of the academic and research strategy of the Canton of Graubünden. The Canton of Graubünden and the SIAF will finance the assistant professorship, including salaries of staff and doctoral positions and equipment.

The assistant professor will be responsible for managing the proteomics centre at SIAF and will ensure its academic establishment. Moreover, the assistant professor will be responsible for representing precision proteomics in teaching and research. In research, the assistant professor will be able to contribute with precision proteomics to new and existing research projects in various collaborations.

The successful applicant will be expected to have proven expertise in immunology (PhD, habilitation or equivalent) and proteomics, as well as a sound knowledge of bioinformatics. Expertise in allergology is desired but not required. The successful applicant should conduct active research in the field of proteomics, which is internationally recognized and supported by the successful acquisition of competitive third-party funding. The successful applicant should be an integrative person with a commitment to interdisciplinary cooperation and experience in the design and implementation of courses, especially in mass spectrometer-based proteomics. Good organizational skills and a high degree of resilience are also required.

The University of Zurich and the SIAF aim to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and therefore explicitly ask qualified female scientists to apply.

Please submit your electronic application for this position by June 28, 2021. Applications sent by postal mail or e-mail will not be considered.

Position Title: UKDRI Postdoctoral Scientist in Proteomics

Company: MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit, University of Dundee and UK Dementia Research Institute

Location: Dundee, Scotland, UK

Summary of position: We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in the latest cutting-edge mass spectrometry techniques and a keen interest in neurodegenerative disease research to undertake collaborative studies with groups based within the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI – http://ukdri.ac.uk/). The UK DRI brings together expertise from six leading UK universities to research the key questions in neurodegenerative disease and accelerate the development of treatments.

The work will focus on undertaking high sensitivity quantitative proteomic analysis including analysis of post-translational modifications in isolated brain cells, to better understand aetiology of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative conditions. The post-holder will also coordinate mass-spectrometry based proteomics for all seven UK DRI centres, liaising with external expert labs and the wider proteomics community to provide the most relevant techniques to address a given problem.

Summary of Skills, Experience and Qualifications: Significant experience in designing and executing proteomic workflows as well as hands on expertise in operating instruments such as Orbitrap Lumos, Exploris and/or Bruker timsTOF is essential. Experience of managing a collaborative or multisite research project or multiple concurrent streams of research is desirable.
