Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Proteomics and Lipidomics

Department of Pharmacology, Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3QT

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to carry out research into characterising (crosslinked) proteins and lipids as part of a Wellcome Trust-funded collaborative grant, within the group of Associate Professor Shabaz Mohammed in the Department of Pharmacology. You will be expected to provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and project students. You will manage your academic research and administrative activities, including project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. You will use existing and new scientific techniques, test hypotheses and analyse scientific data, contribute ideas for new research projects, collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles and represent the research group at external meetings/seminars, either with other members of the group or alone. You must hold a relevant PhD/DPhil in Chemistry or Biochemistry (or be close to completion), together with relevant experience and have knowledge of protein and/or lipid biomolecule methods. You must be able to demonstrate the ability to carry out analytical procedures that are applied for proteome/lipidome characterisation to a high degree of precision including sample preparation, LCMS and data analysis. Practical experience with constructing and maintaining nanoLCMS systems would be an advantage. The post is fixed-term for 2 years, funded by the Wellcome Trust. The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Friday 27 November 2026.
