Rsch Pro 2-Biochemistry University of Minnesota - 4.1 Minneapolis, MN Job Details Full-time 19 hours ago Qualifications Biochemical laboratory techniques Bachelor's degree Full Job Description All required qualifications must be documented in application materials Required Qualifications A minimum of a bachelor's degree in biochemistry, analytical chemistry or closely related field is required. At least 2 years of experience and publication record in biological MS, with hands-on experience in LC-MS and/or GC-MS operation, or a combination of education and relevant work experience to equal at least six years. Preferred Qualifications Demonstrated experience in discovery analysis of a broad range of small molecules and metabolites (e.g., amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, lipids etc) is preferred, as well as experience using and/or testing contemporary software for analysis of metabolite data. Demonstrated experience working with non-MS expert biological researchers and applying technologies to biological studies are critical assets, as is the ability to work within a team-based environment. Prior experience working within a core research service facility is a plus, but not required. Summary of Position A position is available in the Center for Metabolomics and Proteomics (CMSP) at the University of Minnesota for an experienced research associate focusing on developing and applying MS-based technologies for metabolomics research studies. The CMSP (https://cmsp.umn.edu) is the main biological MS-based core facility on campus offering complete services in metabolomics and proteomics. This staff member will consult closely with users of the facility seeking to profile metabolites and/or other small molecule compounds of interest for their research projects. Where necessary, new methods will be developed and standardized for sample preparation and detection of these molecules using high resolution LC-MS and/or GC-MS. In some cases, members of user labs will be trained to prepare their own samples and potentially generate MS data for their projects. This staff member will also work with colleagues in the CMSP who are developing and applying targeted LC-MS methods for quantitative analysis of selected metabolites and small molecules. The research associate will also be expected to participate in CMSP training activities offered to users and assist in overall facility operations.

Anticipated responsibilities include:
