POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW IN MASS SPECTROMETRY OF ALZHEIMER PATHOLOGY (2-year funded fellowship, work based in US with some travel to Europe)
schwetyk 2022-08-16

INTRODUCTION
We are looking for a motivated and ambitious Postdoctoral fellow with extensive bioanalytical experience for studying Alzheimer pathology in human brain tissue using stable isotope labelling and mass spectrometry. We seek to understand the mechanisms by which Alzheimer pathology develops, which is critical for developing new treatment strategies and biomarkers. This is a two-year, NIH-funded fellowship.

SUBJECT AREA
Neurochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Neurodegenerative Disease

SPECIFIC SUBJECT DESCRIPTION
A pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the aggregation of beta-amyloid peptide into extracellular plaques and tau into intracellular tangles in the brain. New antibody therapies targeting those proteins give exciting but also ambiguous clinical results for treatment of AD which relates largely to the fact that it is still not fully resolved where and when AD pathology emerges in the brain. Hence, there is a great need for a detailed understanding of early AD pathology as well as new biomarkers that can be measured in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood that reflect early pathology in the brain and facilitate an early and accurate diagnosis and prognosis of AD.

DESCRIPTION
As part of this research, you will drive and be involved in a clinical projects utilizing SILK-mass spectrometry-based analysis of protein dynamics in AD pathology in brain tissue, specifically, the rate of deposition of amyloid-beta and other potential proteins and lipids in pathological aggregates in the brain. The main analytical methods to be used include mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunoprecipitation (IP), fluorescence microscopy and ex-situ mass spectrometry of proteins (proteomics). Please note that some on the work will be performed in conjunction with our Co-Investigator, Assoc. Prof. Jorg Hanrieder, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Travel stipend will be provided for this period.

ELIGIBILITY
To qualify as a postdoctoral researcher the applicant should hold a PhD in a relevant subject e.g. biology, chemistry, biomedicine, pharmacy; or MD, PhD with neuropathology fellowship training.

ASSESSMENT
Candidates will be assessed based on documented scientific experience with focus on method development and knowledge with regard to mass spectrometry of biological samples as demonstrated by publications in international, peer-reviewed journals. Previous experience in mass spectrometry imaging or alternatively, tissue imaging, immunoassays for neurochemical biomarker development for brain pathologies is a particular merit.
Ability to independently process data and write scientific publications is essential, as is the ability to be flexible and able to work independently. During assessment, account will be taken with respect to personal ability and qualifications.

Postdoctoral Researcher - Washington University in St. Louis - MS-Imaging analysis of Alzheimer disease pathology
schwetyk 2022-04-24

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW IN MASS SPECTROMETRY OF ALZHEIMER PATHOLOGY

INTRODUCTION
We are looking for a motivated and ambitious Postdoctoral fellow with extensive bioanalytical experience for studying Alzheimer pathology in human brain tissue using stable isotope labelling and mass spectrometry. We seek to understand the mechanisms by which Alzheimer pathology develops, which is critical for developing new treatment strategies and biomarkers. This is a two-year, NIH-funded fellowship.

SUBJECT AREA
Neurochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Neurodegenerative Disease

SPECIFIC SUBJECT DESCRIPTION
A pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the aggregation of beta-amyloid peptide into extracellular plaques and tau into intracellular tangles in the brain. New antibody therapies targeting those proteins give exciting but also ambiguous clinical results for treatment of AD which relates largely to the fact that it is still not fully resolved where and when AD pathology emerges in the brain. Hence, there is a great need for a detailed understanding of early AD pathology as well as new biomarkers that can be measured in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood that reflect early pathology in the brain and facilitate an early and accurate diagnosis and prognosis of AD.

DESCRIPTION
As part of this research, you will drive and be involved in a clinical projects utilizing SILK-mass spectrometry-based analysis of protein dynamics in AD pathology in brain tissue, specifically, the rate of deposition of amyloid-beta and other potential proteins and lipids in pathological aggregates in the brain. The main analytical methods to be used include mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunoprecipitation (IP), fluorescence microscopy and ex-situ mass spectrometry of proteins (proteomics). Please note that some on the work will be performed in conjunction with our Co-Investigator, Assoc. Prof. Jorg Hanrieder, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Travel stipend will be provided for this period.

ELIGIBILITY
To qualify as a postdoctoral researcher the applicant should hold a PhD in a relevant subject e.g. biology, chemistry, biomedicine, pharmacy; MD or equivalent; or MD, PhD with neuropathology fellowship training.

ASSESSMENT
Candidates will be assessed based on documented scientific experience with focus on method development and knowledge with regard to mass spectrometry of biological samples as demonstrated by publications in international, peer-reviewed journals. Previous experience in mass spectrometry imaging or alternatively, tissue imaging, immunoassays for neurochemical biomarker development for brain pathologies is a particular merit.
Ability to independently process data and write scientific publications is essential, as is the ability to be flexible and able to work independently. During assessment, account will be taken with respect to personal ability and qualifications.

Impossible Foods is addressing the most catastrophic threats facing humanity: climate change and biodiversity collapse. A global transition to a plant-based food system will turn back the clock on atmospheric CO2 levels, restore natural ecosystems and reverse meltdown in wildlife biomass.

The easiest -- if not only -- way to make our civilization sustainable is to eliminate livestock, the most dangerous technology on Earth. But humans won’t give up meat. So we need to make meat better -- more delicious and more nutritious, without animals as the underlying production technology. That means that making meat sustainably is the most important and urgent problem for the global scientific community.

Impossible Foods' mission is to completely replace the use of animals as a food-production technology by offering consumers everything they currently value about animal products -- and making products that are vastly superior to their animal analogues.

To do this, we are taking a revolutionary scientific and market-based approach. We are inventing efficient, sustainable ways to transform ingredients from plants into meat, fish and dairy foods that deliver all the pleasures and nutritional benefits consumers demand, without the destructive environmental or public health impact.

Our world-class R&D team has been building the know-how and technology platform to produce meat, fish and dairy foods from plants. Impossible Foods is experiencing rapid growth and is resolutely committed to leading all aspects of the plant-based food revolution—from discovery to commercial production. The only thing that will separate Impossible Foods from success and failure is our ability to recruit more world-class experts.

Want to join? Check out the job opening and requirements below:

We are inviting an experienced researcher with broad knowledge of proteomics and mass spectrometry to join the Discovery Team at Impossible Foods at Redwood City, CA.

Protein Structural Mass Spectrometry Position
ray blind 2021-02-04

Greetings!

My lab at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, USA is looking for a biochemistry-minded research scientist, research associate or postdoctoral fellow interested in applying mass spectrometry-based approaches to protein structural biology. We recently published the first full-length integrated structural model of a monomeric nuclear receptor. The model of this transcription factor bound to a DNA oligo was derived largely from mass spectrometry-based data:

https://www.cell.com/structure/fulltext/S0969-2126(20)30166-0

The target protein is the nuclear receptor LRH-1 (NR5A2), a ligand activated transcription factor and target for antidiabetic drug design. The above paper establishes the unperturbed ground state structure. Your project will be to determine how known small molecule ligands, drugs, hormones, peptides and DNA sequences regulate this structure.

The techniques we applied to determine the above structure included BS3 chemical crosslinking, benzophenone artificial amino acid crosslinking, engineered disulphide crosslinking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX). We used these techniques as amino acid proximity sensors in this multi-domain protein target to model how the individual domains interact with each other. For more details please visit my lab site:

http://www.blindlab.org

Although scientist-level candidates should have extensive proteomic data analysis, protein expression, purification and characterization experience, postdoc or research associates need only basic protein biochemistry skills, an eagerness to learn and a strong sense of scientific bravery.

Send your CV to the PI (Ray Blind) at ray.blind@vanderbilt.edu, soon-to-be PhD graduates are specifically encouraged to apply.
