Job Description

The Sloan Kettering Institute at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is seeking innovative individuals with a strong record of accomplishments in proteomics to lead its Microchemistry & Proteomics core facility. SKI offers a highly interactive basic and translational science research environment (www.ski.edu) and is in a multi-institutional academic community. This is a laboratory-track faculty position fully supported by the institution.

The Microchemistry & Proteomics Core supports research programs at MSK by performing mass spectrometry based sequence analyses of proteins and peptides for the purpose of identification, quantitation, chemical and post-translational modification (PTM). The Core Head is responsible for setting the short, medium- and long-term scientific directions of the core. They oversee hiring, training, mentoring of trainees, and staff career development. The core head operational' s responsibilities encompass oversight of advanced methods development and implementation, technical troubleshooting, instruments maintenance, scientific consultation and, liaising with the scientific community to grow a sustainable state-of-the-art operation.

The Core Head is also expected to develop innovative methodologies such as single-cell proteomics, comprehensive and genome-scale proteogenomics, chemical proteomics, spatial and imaging proteomics, immunoproteomics, multiplexed high-throughput proteomics, and intact macromolecular and complex proteomics.

Applicants should have a PhD degree and five to ten years of relevant post-degree experience necessary to develop a technologically innovative environment. Expertise with quantitative high-resolution mass spectrometry proteomics is required, including current state-of-the-art preanalytical and analytical methods (isobaric and metabolic isotope labeling, multidimensional separations, nanoscale liquid chromatography, nanoelectrospray and laser desorption ionization, high-resolution Orbitrap and time-of-flight mass spectrometry). Direct experience with Thermo, Bruker, AB Sciex or Waters chromatographs/mass spectrometers is required. Expertise in computational analysis of data-dependent, targeted, and data-independent proteomics data (using PEAKS, Byonic, MSFragger, ProteomeDiscoverer, Skyline, or Spectronaut software) is also required. Prior experience in managing a proteomics core facility in a multiuser environment is highly preferred. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are required.

Inquiries may be sent to Dr. Agnes Viale, Director of Core facilities operations at vialea@mskcc.org.

The deadline for applications is January 15th.
