Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biology, or a related field with a proven track record of peer-reviewed publications. Extensive expertise in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phospho-proteomic workflows is required.
The Moritz lab at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle, WA is seeking a Research
Scientist to join our interdisciplinary team under the direction of Dr. Ulrike Kusebauch to
advance translational proteomics research in infectious disease systems biology. Our focus will
be 1) to develop new proteomics approaches to detect post-translational modifications and to
advance proteomics workflows to accelerate discovery, and 2) to apply these approaches in
areas of human cancer and infectious disease. Working within a highly collaborative,
multidisciplinary environment, we have access to the largest collections of comprehensive
proteomics data sets incorporated into an extensive set of Atlas’s to support the knowledge of
proteins and their modifications. Our team collaborates with systems biologists, data scientists,
and domain experts in human and infectious disease at ISB and across the country. The
applicant will be highly experienced in post-translational modification analysis by mass
spectrometry, protein expression and purification, and comprehensive data analysis of
multiplexed datasets. This position offers opportunities for growth and career advancement.
Responsibilities include:
-Design, execute, and evaluate scientific experiments appropriate to project objectives
-Operate advanced mass-spectrometry instrumentation
-Process, analyze and interpret proteomics data
-Prepare research findings for scientific publications
