"Post Doctoral Scholar"

Post Doctoral Scholar to join the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The Ohio State University in studying mass spectrometry method development.

While in the Hummon research group, this candidate will embark on a program of independent research with the primary goal to develop mass spectrometry methods in proteomics, metabolomics, and imaging. Duties will include conducting laboratory work centered around mass spectrometry method development for Spatial SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture); leading manuscript preparation for submission to peer-reviewed journals; and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students.

Qualifications:

PhD in Analytical Chemistry or a related field by the time of hire is required, along with a strong theoretical or practical background in proteomics and imaging mass spectrometry and three-dimensional cell culture. Demonstrated experience operating and maintaining a QE mass spectrometer; excellent verbal and written communication skills; and a collaborative mentality towards research and mentoring.

Desired skills and techniques include mastery of 3D cell culture techniques, including the implementation of quantitative Spatial SILAC approaches. These required and desired skills should be demonstrated through a record of peer-reviewed publications.

The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest college and the academic heart of the university. The College hosts 81 majors. With 38 departments, 20+ world-class research centers, and more than 2,000 faculty and staff members, students have the unique opportunity to study with the best artists, scholars, and scientists in their field.
