Offer: Professor / Associate Professor in Biological Mass Spectrometry:Job description:Job location: Newcastle upon Tyne Cellular and Molecular Sciences are an integral part of the Department of Applied Science's research portfolio which was a significant part of the University's success in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 exercise, placing Northumbria in the top 50 UK universities for research power. Our REF 2021 submission, for which results are still awaited, once again had a significant contribution from academics working in this area. The Department has particular strengths in biochemistry, chemistry, cell biology, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology and neuroscience, as well as a history of interdisciplinary research, often in collaboration with industry and with UKRI co-funding. We are seeking for outstanding candidates that can demonstrate a track record in leading mass spectrometry research, as applied to biological samples of any type, but which would aid collaboratory research within the department's research portfolio. candidates will be expected to be able to outline in their applications their plans on how their research and skills would extend and complement the Department's research portfolio and build upon its existing research strengths. The Department has state-of-the-art facilities for research, including recently refurbished, well-equipped laboratories for biochemistry and molecular biology, chemistry, microbiology, and tissue culture lab. The post holder will have access to state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instrumentation including an Orbitrap ID-X, Time-of-Flight, Ion Trap and Quadrupole-located mass spectrometers, and connected separation techniques including GC, HPLC, GPC and ion mobility spectrometry. to The department also has a suite of elemental analysis equipment including inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The department also possesses a microscopy suite that includes fluorescence, laser, polarised light, confocal and infra-red microscopy with the expectation of significant expansion in cellular imaging techniques. This is complemented by a dedicated Multi-Omics facility including; genomics (Illumina, Oxford Nanopore and Pacific Biosciences platforms), metabolomics and proteomics (Thermo Orbitrap ID-X Tribid and Q-exactive Mass Spectrometers) allied to dedicated high-performance computing. Supporting 80 academics, 20 research fellows and 40 PhD students, the multi-disciplinary breadth and depth of the Department provides broad opportunities for forming collaborative working relationships for new colleagues. Details of our research groups and themes can be found here. The Research England funded Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment (HBBE) at Northumbria University has brought significant investment in new staff and facilities demonstrating the Department's commitment to ground-breaking transdisciplinary research.
