You will work alongside researchers to apply these methods to answer questions across complex biological samples (e.g. cells, organoid, tissue). Whilst this position is primarily research focussed, you will also work closely with the Franklin proteomics core facility to help maintain equipment, reagents, potential sample sources, and help demonstrate newly developed technologies. Key Responsibilities As a Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Scientist (Research Associate in Chemical Proteomics) you will: Carry out analytical procedures that are applied for proteome characterisation to a high degree of precision, including sample preparation. Analyse and interpret quantitative proteomic data with a degree of statistical rigour using common freely available software packages. Help to devise then create proteomic methodologies (sample preparation, liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry) to address specific biological questions. Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques. Assist with general laboratory maintenance including the troubleshooting and upkeep of nanoLCs, centrifugal evaporators, liquid handlers, and various MS equipment. Help devise methods (with others at the Franklin) for supporting an increasingly diverse set of sample sources including those from cell lines, cell samples, tissue samples and organoids. Work alongside the proteomics facility to ensure upkeep of nanoLCs, centrifugal evaporators, liquid handlers and various other MS equipment. Help liaise with the laboratory support and service staff, engineers, and scheduling servicing.

Key Responsibilities As a Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Scientist (Research Associate in Chemical Proteomics) you will: Carry out analytical procedures that are applied for proteome characterisation to a high degree of precision, including sample preparation. Analyse and interpret quantitative proteomic data with a degree of statistical rigour using common freely available software packages. Help to devise then create proteomic methodologies (sample preparation, liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry) to address specific biological questions. Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques. Assist with general laboratory maintenance including the troubleshooting and upkeep of nanoLCs, centrifugal evaporators, liquid handlers, and various MS equipment.

This will include essential day-to-day maintenance, troubleshooting and minor servicing to ensure continuous operation. Enhance your research through collaboration with other researchers and make active contributions to exchanging of ideas through your own network. Work within a larger project team, contributing to Institute wide projects around key Franklin Challenges. Work together with the surrounding facilities to ensure efficient methods at the Franklin and Harwell environment. Publish research articles in leading academic journals. Present findings at national and international meetings/conferences. Support and develop others including day-to-day supervision of students or visitors in areas related to your research.

Carry out any other duties that come up in the normal running of the facility and that can be reasonably requested of the post-holder. This job description set outs the skills and experience we believe are needed to be able to do this job but, research also tells us women are much more likely than men to take this list of requirements as absolute and self-select out of the process. If you think you can deliver this role then we want to hear from you, regardless of the boxes you did not tick. Whilst the role requires candidates to hold a PhD/DPhil (or equivalent), we may consider candidates who have submitted their PhD/DPhil thesis, in which case the initial appointment will be made at £37,500 per annum (to be increased on completion of the PhD/DPhil qualification).
