The MRC-PPU Mass Spectrometry Facility has access to state-of-the-art equipment pushing the institute to the forefront of its field. This position provides an excellent and exciting opportunity to be involved in state-of-the-art proteomics analysis in world class research projects.

Your priorities will include:

  • Perform data analysis on mass spectrometry data of proteomics samples, using several search engine platforms (e.g. Dia-NN, Spectronaut, MaxQuant, Proteome Discoverer)
  • Perform statistical analysis of the data analysis results using either in-house developed scripts or your-own developed scripts (e.g. batch correction, normalisation, differential analysis, etc.)
  • Advice and/or explain to users the data analysis and statistical analysis process
  • Working collaboratively and assisting with the training of PhD students and other lab members.
  • Contributing to the preparation of research for publication.

Who we're looking for:

  • Have a PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics or related discipline with outstanding academic track record and a publication record in internationally recognised peer-reviewed journals.
  • Have a strong interest and background evidence in data analysis and how analyse large study cohorts
  • Be fluent in coding languages (inc. Python, R, Matlab, etc.)
  • Have a strong ability to work independently but with excellent ability to work in a team, and have an open and collaborative approach to science

    Dundee, Dundee City, United Kingdom University of Dundee Full time

    Organelle-selective autophagy is emerging as a critical and highly coordinated cellular process, and its dysfunction is linked to cancer and neurological diseases. Crucially, organelle-selective autophagy requires the timely ubiquitination of substrates, yet the E3 ligases involved and how their activity is regulated are poorly understood. Our lab has...

    Modification of proteins with ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) is a critical cellular process linked to pathogen resistance, cancer, and selective organelle degradation. Central to their conjugation to substrates are E3 ligase enzymes (E3s), yet for many Ubls the E3s are poorly understood or remain completely unknown. The Virdee lab has pioneered the...
