Postdoctoral Position in Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics (m/w/d, E13 TV-L, 100%)
The Bacterial Metabolomics Group of the Cluster of Excellence "Controlling microbes to fight infections" at the University of Tübingen advertises a Postdoctoral Position in Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics (m/w/d, E13 TV-L, 100%) to be filled as soon as possible. The position is initially limited to two years. The research group headed by Prof. Dr. Hannes Link at the University of Tübingen invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Our group combines high-throughput LC-MS/MS metabolomics with CRISPR-based genetic screens to understand how bacteria regulate their metabolism, with applications in antimicrobial resistance, microbiome research and synthetic microbiology. The postdoc will develop new high-throughput metabolomics methods and coordinate the metabolomics collaborations of our group within the Cluster of Excellence Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections, at the University of Tübingen (https://www.cmfi.uni-tuebingen.de/en/) and with other collaboration partners. You can find more information about our group at https://www.linkmetabolism.com.
Your tasks:
- Development of cutting-edge high-throughput metabolomics methods (LC-MS/MS, targeted and untargeted), for example to measure metabolomes of large mutant libraries and genetic screens.
- Coordination of metabolomics collaborations within the Cluster of Excellence CMFI, with re-search groups across the University of Tübingen, and with external academic and industrial partners.
- Planning, measurement and analysis of metabolomics experiments together with collaboration partners, from experimental design and sample preparation to data interpretation.
- Maintenance and further development of 3 LC-MS/MS systems and data analysis pipelines.
- Training and supervision of PhD students, master’s students and collaborators in metabolomics workflows.
Our requirements:
- PhD in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology, or a related field.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to coordinate projects with multiple partners.
- Experience with liquid chromatography or mass spectrometry.
- Experience with high-throughput sample handling or automation is a plus.
- Data analysis skills (e.g. in Python, R, MATLAB or similar).
- Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
