黑料视频 Research Unit Marine Natural Products Chemistry / 黑料视频 Centre for Marine Biotechnology is seeking an experienced post-doctoral researcher as

Marine Natural Product - LC-MS Analytical Chemist (m/f/d)

The position is for 3 years and available immediately.

Job Description:

Analytical chemistry is the backbone of natural product research. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled post-doctoral candidate with demonstrated expertise in hyphenated analytical techniques for investigation of small molecule secondary metabolites of marine holobionts, particularly metallophoric compounds, such as siderophores. The main tasks of the holder of this post will be i) to mine, mostly comparatively,  the metabolome and metallome of marine macro- and microorganisms by cutting edge LC-MS/MS-based chemoinformatics/computational untargeted metabolomics (MS/MS fragment similarity based molecular networking on GNPS platform, SIRIUS, and others), ii) to develop methodology for analysis and identification metal binding metabolites, such as siderophores in marine microbes, iii) to analyse the data by advanced statistical/chemometrics and machine learning tools, iv) to couple metabolome data with other omics datasets (e.g., genomics, lipidomics, metallomics, and others). Main target areas are drug discovery and chemical ecology. We also envisage to perform complementary spatial metabolomics using the in-house Desorption Electrospray Ionization-Imaging Mass Spectrometer (DESI-IMS). The candidate will closely interact with other research groups from a broad range of scientific disciplines. He/she will be involved in maintenance of the LC-MS equipment, establishment of new analytical methods and training/supervision of undergraduate/postgraduate students and technical staff.

Qualification

Required:

• A diploma and a PhD in LC-MS/MS-based analytical natural product chemistry or a related field
• Demonstrated competence and hands-on skills in LC-MS/MS metabolome mining of natural products (by molecular networks)
• Proficiency in use of public and commercial databases (for dereplication), statistical analysis/chemometrics and big data management
• Proficiency in bioinformatics for linking different -omics datasets
• Demonstrated experience in writing first author-publications, excellent publication track record in scientific journals and conference presentations
• Fluency in spoken and written English with oral and written communication skills 

Desirable:

• Previous work on metallomics and other omics (e.g., genomics, lipidomics), biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) analysis
• Previous exposure to Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS)
• Additional experience in GC-MS
• Purification (HPLC) and chemical characterization (NMR, HRMS) of diverse types of natural products

Candidates with strong track records on analytical chemistry, secondary metabolomics, and/or metallomics of terrestrial organisms and microorganisms are highly encouraged to apply, provided they have the required hands-on skills and experience.

Through our research and our commitment to the transfer of knowledge and technology, we contribute significantly to the preservation of the function and protection of the ocean for future generations. The Biological Oceanography research unit investigates how marine plankton responds to environmental changes in the ocean and what effects this has on ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles, particularly the uptake and storage of carbon dioxide in the sea. Methods used include the analysis of dissolved organic substances, microbiological rate measurements, incubation experiments, controlled laboratory cultures, and field studies in various marine regions.

The Research Unit Biological Oceanography within Research Division 2, Marine Biogeochemistry, offers a position as a

Scientist (m/f/d)

Biological Oceanography

starting on September 1^st, 2025.

Job Description
The successful candidate will investigate processes of biological and microbial carbon pumps in the ocean. He:She will carry out scientific studies on the production and microbial degradation of organic substances. In addition, the successful candidate will develop new approaches for the determination of particle export (e.g. with sediment traps) and particle modification with the help of biomarkers. The successful applicant will also participate in the planning, application and management of third-party funded projects and sea-going expeditions as well as in the training of students.

Qualification
Prerequisites for a successful application include a doctoral degree in biological oceanography or a related field, as well as solid expertise in the marine carbon cycle and particle export. Strong knowledge of marine bacteria and phytoplankton is expected; in-depth understanding of the turnover of organic material (sugars, amino acids, lipids) is advantageous. Experience in open-sea marine research and willingness and ability to participate in multi-week expeditions are required. Experience in leading ship expeditions is also beneficial.
The applicant should demonstrate an excellent publication record and the ability to secure independent third-party funding. Very good spoken and written English skills are required.
The successful candidate will conduct measurements of particle export using sediment traps. So experiences with drifting or moored traps to determine carbon fluxes is desirable.
