Postdoctoral Fellow in Mass Spectrometry: The Huttenhain Lab at Stanford University is seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow to investigate G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling mechanisms utilizing cutting-edge mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics techniques.
Postdoctoral Fellow in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics
Designation:
Postdoctoral Fellow
Location:
Stanford University, Molecular & Cellular Physiology Department
Research Area:
Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics, G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR) Signaling, Molecular Biology
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Department | Molecular & Cellular Physiology |
| Appointment Term | One year with an option for multi-year extension |
| Start Date | Negotiable |
| Expected Base Pay | FY25 Stanford University minimum: $73,800 |
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Ph.D. in life sciences, biomedical sciences, or a related discipline.
- Experience and publication record in MS-based proteomics and related method development.
- Knowledge of molecular biology and/or computational biology.
- Ability to work in a multidisciplinary, diverse, and collaborative research environment.
- Strong oral and written communication skills.
- Self-motivated with a passion for science and creative thinking.
Job Description:
The postdoctoral fellow will:
- Develop robust proteomic assays (e.g., proximity-labeling, phospho, or structural proteomics) to map spatiotemporally resolved interaction and signaling networks of GPCRs.
- Apply new advances in LC-MS technologies to enhance the depth and reproducibility of proteomics data acquisition.
- Investigate the signaling network dynamics of GPCRs in neuronal systems to uncover novel regulators and mechanisms of neuromodulation.
- Explore mechanisms by which diverse ligands targeting GPCRs yield distinct phenotypic responses.
