Your tasks

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with broad experience in mass spectrometry-based proteomics to join a project aimed at understanding cellular plasticity, therapy response, and drug resistance in myeloid leukemia. The successful candidate will carry out proteomic experiments with access to state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and computational infrastructure. The position entails active involvement in both experimental procedures and computational data analysis, alongside the improvement of advanced methodologies, including single-cell proteomics. The project is embedded in the Collaborative Research Center “Cellular Plasticity in Malignant Myeloid Diseases – From Mechanisms to Therapy” and involves close interactions with academic and clinical partners in the consortium.

Your profile

• PhD in the field of mass spectrometry-based proteomics
• Ample experience in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, including sample preparation and hands-on use of modern mass spectrometers and nano/UHPLC systems
• Experience with state-of-the-art proteomic workflows, including MS acquisition (e.g. DDA, DIA, PRM) and data analysis with dedicated software tools.
• Computer literacy with at least basic programming skills (R, Python).
• Analytical mindset, with a keen interest in advancing proteomic methodologies
• Knowledge of cancer biology is an advantage

We offer

• Cutting-edge proteomic infrastructure and innovative proteomics workflows
• Work with an experienced, interdisciplinary, and international team
• Collectively agreed remuneration, attractive company pension scheme (VBL)
• 30 days vacation
• Sustainable travel: job ticket
• Family-friendly working environment: cooperative arrangements for childcare, subsidy for child vacation care, advice for employees with relatives in need of care
• Wide range of health, prevention and sports offers
