Demonstrated hands-on experience with mass spectrometry and
LC/MS workflows, including sample preparation, method execution and
optimization, LC-MS data acquisition and analysis, instrument
operation and troubleshooting, and interpretation of experimental
results. Experience providing technical support or guidance to
research projects and communicating analytical results to
scientific collaborators is also required.
Knowledge of laboratory approaches and techniques in the areas
of Proteins, Chemistry, and Biochemistry required.
And/or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Experience with small molecule or metabolite LC/MS analysis is
strongly desired. Candidate must understand the distinct sample
preparation, chromatographic, and acquisition requirements of
peptide/protein vs metabolite workflows.
Strong computer skills with experience using software for the
analysis of protein mass spectrometry data is strongly
advantageous, specifically Spectromine, Spectronaut, Proteome
Discoverer.
