The Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ICR) Program at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) seeks a research faculty member with expertise in bioinformatics, computational mass spectrometry, and scientific software development. The successful candidate will collaborate with researchers in the !CR Program to develop, implement, and validate novel algorithms for the analysis of high-resolution mass spectrometry data, with particular emphasis on top-down proteomics, de novo sequencing, proteoform characterization, and related applications in metabolomics and Iipidomics. The candidate will contribute to the design of software tools and computational workflows for processing data generated by state-of-the-art FT-ICR and Orbitrap mass spectrometers. The MagLab is operated for the National Science Foundation by a collaboration of institutions comprising Florida State University, the University of Florida, and Los Alamos National Laboratory and houses the world's premier !CR laboratory, with state-of-the-art FT-ICR mass spectrometers that operate at 21 T, 14.5 T, 9.4 T, and 9.4 T, for research in chemistry, materials science, engineering, geochemistry, biochemistry, and biology. Current areas include natural organic matter, emerging environmental contaminants, biofuels, top-down proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and mass spectrometry imaging.
The candidate is expected to collaborate with MagLab staff, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and external users; publish manuscripts; present at scientific conferences; and contribute to applications for external research funding. Additional responsibilities include maintaining software resources, supporting users with computational aspects of their projects, and helping to establish robust and reproducible data analysis pipelines for the ICR user community.
