DESCRIPTION
The Buck Institute for Research on Aging seeks a new faculty member at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are looking for an individual who works in the field of Aging Research and/or Age-related diseases with a specific interest and expertise in Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics. The Buck Institute offers a state-of-the art Proteomics facility directed by Dr. Birgit Schilling. It includes an infrastructure of modern mass spectrometric instrumentation, such as an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid with FAIMS, two orthogonal quadrupole time-of-flight instruments (TripleTOF 6600 and TripleTOF 5600), a triple quadrupole linear ion trap (QTRAP 5500) and some additional platforms.
The new faculty member will be expected to use and build the current Proteomics instrumentation and coordinate with the MS facility and the Core Director. The Buck Institute Proteomics Center is known for developing novel proteomics workflows, quantitative MS scan type and quantification software (e.g., Skyline), and for providing proteomic educational seminars. The new faculty member will be expected to contribute to these MS research and educational activities. We are expecting the candidate to develop their own strong research program in Aging or Age-related diseases. Candidates should also engage in collaborative projects at the Buck Institute and work closely with the MS Core.
