Postdoctoral position in Quantitative proteomics
for Type 1 Diabetes biomarkers (for 3 years).
A postdoctoral position is available at the Turku Centre for Biotechnology as part of the Finland Distinguished Professor Program (http://www.fidipro.fi/) in the collaborative research project of Professor David Goodlett (of the University of Washington, Seattle and the Turku Centre for Biotechnology) and Professor Riitta Lahesmaa at the Turku Centre for Biotechnology, Turku Finland (www.btk.fi). The research focuses on the application of mass spectrometry based proteomics in the analysis of clinical samples investigating predictive markers of type-1 diabetes. Using the latest generation of mass spectrometry technologies, together with recently described methodology that extend detectable dynamic range of complex proteomes, discovery and validation methods will be developed. We are looking for exceptionally motivated candidates with a proven track record and solid knowledge and working experience with mass spectrometry technologies. Know-how in quantitative proteomics and fractionation technologies are needed. Experience in the analysis of complex datasets and modern computer language, e.g. python or R, will be an advantage. The salary is in accordance with the University salary system (for teaching and research personnel) level 5-6 (Senior Researcher), where the work specific salary component is between 2787-3254 €/month.
