Description

Postdoctoral and PhD positions are available in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada). We are seeking highly motivated candidates with strong background in mass spectrometry, proteomics, or molecular biology, and interests in translational proteomics and antibody sequencing (https://sites.google.com/ualberta.ca/drabovichlab). The successful candidate will join a dynamic and translational research program in characterization and sequencing of patient-derived human polyclonal antibodies using the cutting-edge mass spectrometry instrumentation available in our Division (Bruker timsOMNI, Thermo Orbitrap Elite, Sciex QTRAP 6500+). These research initiatives are supported by the PRAIRIE HUB for pandemic preparedness and the Canada Biomedical Research Fund (CBRF).

Protein mass spectrometry is our key analytical platform, and we also use a range of molecular biology and bioanalytical chemistry tools, cell culture models, and bioinformatics approaches to investigate protein function in cells and biological samples.

Requirements

Postdoctoral fellow candidates must hold a PhD degree completed within the past five years, have first-author publications, and have a strong background in bioanalytical chemistry or molecular biology. Prior expertise in proteomics, mass spectrometry, immunology or cancer research will be an advantage. Excellent oral and written communication skills are required.
