Postdoctoral Fellow in Spectrometry-Based Proteomics: The Huttenhain Lab at Stanford University is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with expertise in mass spectrometry-based proteomics to study the mechanisms of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. The lab integrates cutting-edge proteomics, functional genomics, imaging, and molecular biology techniques to profile the spatiotemporal dynamics of GPCR signaling networks.

Location
Stanford University, Stanford, CA
Eligibility/Qualification
- Ph.D. in life sciences, biomedical sciences, or a related discipline.
- Experience and publication record in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and method development, molecular biology, and/or computational biology.
- Strong ability to work in a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills.
- Self-motivated with a strong passion for scientific inquiry and creative thinking.
Job Description
The selected candidate will be responsible for:
- Developing robust proteomic assays (e.g., proximity-labeling, phosphoproteomics, or structural proteomics) to map spatiotemporally resolved interaction and signaling networks of GPCRs.
- Applying new advances in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technologies to enhance the depth and reproducibility of proteomics data acquisition.
- Mapping signaling network dynamics of GPCRs in neuronal systems to uncover novel regulators and mechanisms of neuromodulation.
- Investigating how diverse ligands targeting GPCRs elicit distinct phenotypic responses.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should submit the following materials via email to ruthh@stanford.edu:
- Cover letter detailing relevant research experience, research interests, expectations from the position, and preferred start date.
- Curriculum vitae, including a complete publication list.
- Contact information for 2-3 references.
Last Date to Apply
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled; interested candidates are encouraged to apply promptly.
