Position Summary
The Bhatt Lab at UNC Chapel Hill is seeking motivated scientists with demonstrable bioanalytical expertise to join our team. We study the gut microbiome and its contribution to interindividual variability in drug responses, including efficacy and toxicity. The candidate will have a strong background in bioanalytical techniques and method development using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, and related platforms. The central role is developing assays to quantify metabolites of drug metabolism generated by gut microbes and the host using tandem LC-MS/MS. The candidate will also support method development for the UNC Dept. of Mass Spectrometry Core laboratory, directed by Dr. Brandie Ehrmann. Minimum Education and Experience Requirements
PhD in Chemistry, Pharmacology, Analytical Chemistry and/or related field with relevant publications in the field. Required Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience
Required Competencies: The Research Scientist will design and perform experiments, analyze data, and disseminate findings through manuscripts, grant applications, and oral presentations. This role emphasizes quantitative mass spectrometry and handling complex datasets. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mass spectrometry and wet lab techniques, along with mentoring experience. Key Responsibilities: Experimental Design & Execution: Design and conduct experiments with a focus on quantitative mass spectrometry. Perform sample extraction and preparation from biological matrices. Data Analysis & Interpretation: Analyze and interpret complex data sets, including quantitative MS data. Use modern MS equipment and software. Research Dissemination: Prepare and present findings through manuscripts, grant proposals, and oral presentations at various forums. Mentorship: Train and guide undergraduate students in lab techniques and data analysis. Equipment Management: Troubleshoot and maintain MS and chromatography equipment. Independent Problem Solving: Address challenges and relate outcomes to the broader research context. Protocol Development: Adapt published methods for lab use. Qualifications: Education: Ph.D. in Chemistry, Pharmacology, Analytical Chemistry, or related field with recent research laboratory experience.
