Duration

3 years fixed-term contract

The Rosalind Franklin Institute is a national research centre, funded by the UK government through UK Research and Innovation, dedicated to bringing about transformative changes in life science through interdisciplinary research and technology.

The Biological Mass Spectrometry Theme focuses on the development of new instrumentation for mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) allowing the visualisation of molecular distributions at subcellular level and the de-novo structure elucidation of chemical species detected by MSI techniques. The ultimate goal of the Theme is to understand the working mechanism of molecular interaction networks in health and disease and define novel diagnostic and prognostic targets for next generation healthcare.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate employed in this role will work to develop and test novel methodologies for quantitative 3D chemical imaging using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The project is based on the J105 3D Chemical Imager (Ionoptika Ltd). The Research Associate will also work with industrial and academic partners including Ionoptika Ltd, Prof. Nick Lockyer (University of Manchester), Prof. Mark Brouard, Prof. Claire Vallance (University of Oxford) and Prof. Ian Gilmore (National Physical Laboratory).

The successful candidate will be expected to work closely with other staff and students in presenting and publishing findings at scientific meetings and in the open literature, as well as contributing to the academic environment within the Institute.
