Department
PSD Chemistry: Moellering Group
The Moellering group conducts research at the interface of Chemistry and Biology, with an eye towards understanding and intervening in human disease. We utilize techniques in synthetic chemistry, cell biology, and mass spectrometry to develop novel chemical probes, in-cell chemoproteomic platforms, and related technologies to study the dynamic interactions and complexity of the proteome and manipulate protein targets and their function.
Ultimately our work helps to identify novel biological mechanisms underlying diseases, such as cancer, and to subsequently develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic modalities to impact these disorders.
Job Summary
The Moellering lab is seeking an experienced Staff Scientist who will be responsible for conducting hands-on research in addition to daily efforts to promote and manage the overall activities of a busy research group. This position is ideal for candidates who are experienced in balancing experimentation, data analysis, scientific writing/editing, and laboratory management. Principal contributions for both research and administrative duties are intellectual, characterized by originality and creativity.
This role requires a demonstrated history in collaborative research, effective communication, the ability to follow standard protocols, and an aptitude for troubleshooting.
Research Responsibilities: Perform routine assignments that facilitate and promote a research project or contributes to the scientific direction of a research resource. This position will perform routine assignments related to scientific research projects, ensure compliance of research activities with institutional, state, and federal regulatory policies, and analyze possible solutions using standard procedures.
Research project(s) will be developed under the direction of the Principal Investigator and will be focused on proteomic profiling in the context of cancer, design and synthesis of novel chemical probes, and/or establishment and implementation of -omics platforms for integrated biological characterization of disease-related samples. Demonstrated experience in at least one of these areas is required.
Administrative Responsibilities: Help manage daily operations of a busy research group with 15-plus researchers, including scientific editing, strategic and financial planning, annual progress reporting, and maintenance of safety and animal use protocols.
