Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Post Bachelors RA - Mass Spectrometry Imaging Applications and Method Developmen
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington, United States, 99352
Overview
The Earth and Biological Sciences Directorate (EBSD) leads novel and necessary research in three core areas: Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Environmental Molecular Sciences. The contributions of EBSD staff are many as we continue to elevate the impact of PNNL's science mission: to understand, predict, and control the complex adaptive systems underlying the science behind Earth, energy, and security.Responsibilities
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Division seeks a post-Bachelors research associate focused in the area of mass spectrometry-based omics in biological, chemical, and environmental research. The successful candidate will be responsible for aiding in the advancement and development of the ever-expanding omics suite and advancing the goals of multiple EMSL Integrated Research Platforms, as well as advancing our efforts in elucidating biological mechanisms that affect long-term human health. The individual will be expected to prepare and analyze a variety of biological samples for mass spectrometry imaging and other mass spectrometry applications. The candidate is expected to demonstrate their scientific and technical capabilities using these tools in an independent fashion. The candidate must be able to work in a collaborative work setting with team members from a diverse scientific background. The candidate will be expected to assist in maintaining laboratory safety, organization, and efficiency.The candidate should possess good oral and written communication skills and strong interpersonal skills. The applicant will be expected to contribute to ideas and methods expanding on existing R&D and may collaborate on drafting SOP documentation, reports, papers, posters, and presentations. The candidate must also demonstrate initiative, creativity and innovative thinking, and have a high tolerance for the ambiguity, dynamics, and diversity of work characteristic of a research environment.Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:Candidates must have received a Bachelor’s degree within the past 24 months or within the next 8 months from an accredited college or university.Preferred Qualifications:Some experience in analysis of small molecules, metabolites, lipids, as well as protein and protein post translation modifications molecules from animals, plants, and microbes using MS methods is preferred.Experience in biological sample handling, embedding, and cryosectioning.Experience in optical microscopy techniques.Candidates with a Bachelors in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics, or a related field with a record of peer-reviewed publications or industrial SOPs.
