The successful candidate will undertake a senior role in the planning and delivery of research activity focused on quantitative interaction proteomics and data independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry. Our research group focuses on 3 primary areas (i) development of new methodology in DIA mass spectrometry1,2, (ii) methods to characterize dynamic reorganization of protein complexes/interactions using both targeted and global approaches3,4, and most recently (iii) the application of these methods to problems in host-pathogen interactions and innate immunity.
This role will focus on the development and application of strategies to quantify protein complex reorganization in signalling systems. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated track record in mass spectrometry-based proteomics research with an excellent PhD degree awarded and strong publication record. This role will have responsibilities in independent research, supervision, planning, day-to-day lab management, collaborations and outreach
