Analytical Chemist for LC-MS/MS (Metabolomics) (m/f)
Area of Responsibility:
- Development and Validation of MS/MS-based analytical assays and diagnostic kit products for biological samples.
- Quantitative analysis of biological samples and contractual research including project management work in these areas will also be required.
Essential functions:
- Independent planning, development, standardization, validation and documentation of HPLC as well as FIA-based Tandem Mass Spectrometry-based assaysincluding sample preparation for quantitation of endogenous metabolites from different biological matrices obtained from various disease and therapeutically-treated cohorts (metabolomics).
- Transfer of analytical methods to other MS/MS platforms and vendors.
- Transfer of sample preparation to our in-house automated robotic platform
- Development and validation of MS/MS-based diagnostic kit products
- Work in teams comprised of both internal and external collaborators to meet milestones in both collaborative projects and customer research contracts.
- Work in teams comprised of both internal and external collaborators to meet milestones in both collaborative projects and customer research contracts.
- Maintain high-quality written and electronic records.
