POST DOCTORAL FELLOW – Chemistry: The Metabolomics and Environmental Toxicology (MET) Lab in the Department of Chemistry at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) is currently seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow in Chemistry. This position offers an opportunity to work on interdisciplinary research projects involving metabolomics, exposomics, environmental toxicology, contaminant fate and transport, and (bio)remediation. The position is fully funded and contingent upon strong performance in the first year of employment and project funding availability.
Job Details:
| Designation | Research Area | Location | Application Deadline |

| Postdoctoral Fellow | Chemistry | Rolla, Missouri | Open Until Filled |
Eligibility/Qualification:
Minimum Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, Mass Spectrometry, Computational Metabolomics, Chemometrics, or a closely related data science discipline.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in developing and optimizing GC and LC methods to profile metabolomic content in complex samples (e.g., serum, saliva, cell cultures, plant and animal tissues).
- Hands-on experience in computational mass spectrometry applied to targeted and untargeted metabolomics and exposomics studies using QqQ and/or MALDI-TOF.
- Proficiency in chemometric analysis of MS datasets using regression and discriminant techniques (e.g., PCA, PLS, PLS-DA, nMDS) in R and/or MATLAB.
- Strong research and peer-reviewed publication record.
- Prior research experience involving exogenous chemicals (food additives, hydrocarbons, halogenated organics, PFAS, and microplastics) and/or endogenous metabolites.
- Outstanding leadership skills to guide graduate and undergraduate student lab members.
Job Description: The selected Postdoctoral Fellow will join the MET Lab and engage in research projects related to metabolomics, exposomics, environmental toxicology, and (bio)remediation. Dr. Michael Eze, the Principal Investigator, is focused on developing metabolomics methods for disease diagnosis, characterizing organismal exposure to and bioaccumulation of environmental contaminants, and developing cost-effective and eco-friendly remediation methods for organic and inorganic pollutants. The position is fully funded and offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in these fields.
