Job Description

We are seeking a scientist with a proven track record of cellular and molecular proteomics, analytical chemistry and/or biochemistry to play a key supporting role in the MS-based proteomics group in precision medicine and computational biology. The scientist will contribute to the development of proteomic workflows using robotics and automated liquid handlers with the outcome to accelerating and alleviating the manual-intensive aspects of sample prep increasing throughput and depth. The candidate will apply new and established workflows to biological systems and various sample types (tissues, biofluids and cells) for biomarker discovery and mechanism of action studies.

The candidate will work with cross-functional teams and across different therapeutic areas and academic collaborators on these projects.

Key responsibilities

• Contribute to innovative therapeutic platforms and apply cutting-edge proteomic technologies for disease profiling and biomarker discovery

• Generate proteomic datasets for disease profiling and mechanism of action studies

• Assist in instrument troubleshooting, maintenance and repairs

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications

• MS and 3+ years or equivalent, BS with 5+ years relevant lab experience in biochemistry, proteomics, analytical chemistry, or related field in academic, pharma or biotech industry, or PhD with 0-1 years postgraduate experience

• Hands-on experience with proteomics, minimum 1 year of hands-on lab experience.

• Hands-on experience with executing, optimizing, developing proteomic sample preparations (eg. extractions, SPE, digestion, peptide labeling protocols) from cells, tissues or biofluids for mass spec analysis

• Cell Culture experience is a plus.

Preferred experience

• Sample preparation of limited tissue samples with Ultrasensitive proteomics

• Hands-on targeted proteomic approaches

• Hands-on co-immunoprecipitations, affinity-based protein profiling, chemoproteomics

• Analysis of proteomic data sets, coding experience in R or Phyton

Additional Information

• Position is full-time, Monday to Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. Candidates currently living within a commutable distance of Cambridge, MA are encouraged to apply.
