[ES_JOBS_NET] Job Announcement-post doctoral fellow, Dept. of Genome Sciences University of Washington Seattle; Astrobiology proteomics

[Brook L. Nunn]

*Big-data, proteomic NASA Exobiology post doctoral fellow needed *

A position of a Post-Doctoral Associate is open in the Department of Genome
Sciences at the University of Washington.  We are seeking a motivated
person to study the dynamic proteome of psychrophiles grown in a range of
sub-zero temperatures and high salinity environments (for a project
description see:
https://sites.google.com/a/uw.edu/nasa-exobio---biosignatures-for-life-in-earth-and-mars-ice-and-brines/home
).

  This person will work in close collaboration with a polar microbiology
and ice physics team to conduct proteomics studies on halophilic bacteria
in Earth and Mars-analog brine and ice. They will prepare proteomics
samples and complete large-scale shotgun proteomics (data dependent
analyses: DDA) and data independent analyses (DIA) on the different growth
conditions in order to decipher key peptide targets that might indicate the
different metabolic states. Two years of experiences in molecular biology,
cell biology, transcriptomics, proteomics, or genomics are highly
desirable. The ideal candidate will be proficient in big-data analyses and
have a basic understanding, or strong interest in, microbiology (especially
working with halophiles or psychrophiles), exobiology and/or NASA-relevant
questions. Experiences with tandem mass spectrometry and nano-flow HPLC
technologies are highly desirable. Candidate must possess a Ph.D. or
M.D./Ph.D degree. Applicants should submit preferably via e-mail letter of
introduction (2 page max. that addresses qualifications described above),
CV, list of publications and the names and addresses of three references to
Dr. Brook Nunn, Ph.D. at brookh at uw.edu.

 The Nunn lab is fully integrated with the MacCoss’s proteomic Mass
spectrometry group at the University of Washington.  The general lab
environment is collaborative, friendly, and constructive. We are seeking a
highly motivated and productive scientist with suitable background as
aforementioned. The laboratory nurtures a collaborative environment with
ample opportunities for grant writing, professional training, and career
development routes in big data analyses, bioinformatics, genomics,
proteomics, and quantitative analyses. The laboratory is highly
multidisciplinary and scientifically integrated. Salary is commensurate
with experience, and UW employee benefits will be provided. This position
is limited to US Citizens only, due to federal sponsor funding restrictions
