Postdoctoral and Research Scientist Positions in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics

One postdoctoral position and one research scientist position in mass spectrometry-based proteomics are available immediately in the Old Dominion University PhD Program in Biomedical Sciences. One research project will involve the development and application of mass spectrometer (MALDI, FTMS) methods for identification of protein markers and proteomic analysis of organisms. The other research project will involve development of mass spectrometry imaging method for molecular characterization of cellular and tissue samples for biochemical and biomedical applications.

Candidates should have Ph.D. in chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, microbiology, protein engineering or related area, and have strong background in chemistry, ultrasensitive detection, protein chemistry, molecular and cell biology, or microbiology.

Applicants with a strong commitment to original research and a demonstrated excellence in chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology, or molecular and cell biology research are strongly encouraged to apply. Please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae and three letters of reference to Dr. X. Nancy Xu, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA 23529 (email: xhxu@odu.edu; Tel/Fax: (757) 683-5698).

As a member of our research group, one will have full access to modern chemistry and biological chemistry facilities and have a variety of significant opportunities to engage forefront chemistry, biochemistry and biomedical research. The Norfolk area is a beautiful city with many cultural attractions. Its location is near the ocean and only three hours drive from Washington D. C. Nearby are Naval Research Laboratories, NASA Langley Research Center and the Thomas Jefferson National Lab offer many exciting collaborative opportunities.
