About the role
The Department of Life and Environmental Sciences is leading the project ‘Resolving the extinction crisis: sustainable and technological solutions for biodiversity and society’. We are seeking to appoint a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated Post-Doctoral Research Fellow (PDRF) in analytical chemistry (applied to measuring physiological stress responses in animals using LCMS). The appointment will be made at Grade 6 of the Bournemouth University pay scale, based on research experience and track record.
You will be highly competent in quantitative, targeted LCMS analysis. Your expertise should include a range of relevant sample preparation techniques and LCMS method development. You will demonstrate experience in designing and conducting validation experiments, as well as in the calibration and maintenance of LCMS systems. Experience in untargeted HRMS analysis using LC-QTOF systems is desirable. You will be expected to analyze complex data sets using appropriate methods to a standard suitable for publication.
Applications with mass spectrometry experience related to animal physiology and measurement of chronic physiological stress responses would be particularly welcome.
