Postdoctoral Fellow in Metabolic Flux Analysis for Pediatric Cancer Research : Austin, United States 

A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Tiziani at The University of Texas at Austin. The talented and highly motivated individual will contribute to the study the cancer metabolism applying and developing metabolic flux analysis using stable isotope-assisted metabolomics combining high-resolution mass spectrometry (Q-Exactive) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Description

Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry/ Bioengineering/ Bioinformatics/ Computational Biology/ Biophysics/Systems Biology or Biostatistics. The position requires a strong background in mass spectrometry, bioinformatics analysis, metabolic flux analysis and metabolomics. Proficiency in programming and/or scripting languages appropriate for labeled and unlabeled metabolic data analysis (e.g. Matlab, R, etc…) is expected. A person is eligible for a position as postdoctoral research fellow if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than four years before obtaining the Ph.D. degree. The candidate is expected to procure postdoctoral fellowship funding and will assist in the writing of grant applications.
