We employ more than 5,400 academic and professional staff to support over 41,000 students, making us one of NZ's largest employers.
We are looking for an experienced and motivated Bioinformatician with skills in mass spectrometry data analysis/interpretation, computer coding for mass spectrometry data analysis, bioinformatics, education and communication.
About us
The newly established Mass Spectrometry Hub (MaSH) exists to develop a virtual mass spectrometry data analysis, technical and research support platform to facilitate investigators from diverse fields to apply mass spectrometry techniques to their own research and generate meaningful interpretations of mass spectrometry data.
Who are we looking for?:
- The successful applicant will have a PhD degree in bioinformatics or computer science, with preferably a track record of peer-reviewed publications in this field
- They must be able to work with others in a collaborative environment and foster an enjoyable and focussed workplace
- They will have experience in the development of software tools and workflows for the analysis of a range of mass spectrometry data using coding languages (e.g. R, C, Python, MATLAB)
- Ideally, they will have experience with analysis of data generated from global as well as targeted proteomics/metabolomics analysis using SWATH, GC-MS or LC-MS platforms, and biological pathway analysis
- They will also have excellent communication and people skills, and be able to work both independently and as part of a team
In addition to the roles above, the appointee will be expected to devote a proportion of their time to developing their own research programme, either independently or in collaboration with other researchers that are associated with the MaSH.
