PhD Candidate ProFroMa – Characterizing ProteoForms up to Megadaltons 913 views

The Faculty of Science, Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences at University of Amsterdam (UvA) is inviting applications for a PhD position in ProFroMa – Characterizing ProteoForms up to Megadaltons.

About the position:

• In this project, the selected candidate will be working on the development of cutting-edge methods for large proteoforms characterization, including:
• new chemistries and morphologies of liquid chromatography materials for the chemical resolution of intact polyforms and complexes
• multidimensional LC approaches
• MS and MS/MS methods to characterize large polyforms at the molecular level.
• The method developed will be used to characterize intact proteoforms in human immunology and enzymology, collaborating with various research partners (e.g. VU, LUMC, DSM, MSvision).

Requirements:

• Applicant must be holding recent MSc degree in Analytical Chemistry or Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology.
• A strong background in analytical chemistry.
• Experience with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.
• Data analysis experience (e.g. R or MATLAB) are a plus.
• Good communication skills in oral and written English.
• Strong initiative and good time management skills.

Applications:

Apply online and applications should include:

• A motivation letter
• CV, including a list of publications
