Postdoctoral Position

Metabolomics / Lipidomics
Dr. Dominik Schwudke

Our laboratory focuses on metabolic control of development and molecular understanding of tissue specificity and cell differentiation. To this end, we develop and apply mass spectrometry-based metabolomics/ lipidomics approaches in conjunction with genetic experiments. (http://www.ncbs.res.in/research/dominik)

We are looking for candidates with training in Chemistry or Biochemistry. A background in analytical techniques (HPLC, Capillary Electrophoresis, LC-MS/MS, MALDI-MS, GC, GC-MS) or Lipid chemistry is useful but not required. We seek team-oriented candidates with good experimental and communication skills.

Applicants must have a keen interest in working in a vibrant multidisciplinary research environment and enjoy the challenge of developing mass spectrometry-based metabolomics/lipidomics approaches.

Postdoctoral Fellow:
The initial appointment is for 2 years with an extension up to 5 years.

Applicants should send a CV including publication list, a brief statement of research achievements not exceeding one page, and three academic references (two for the PhD position) before September 30th 2009 to:

Dr. Dominik Schwudke – dominik@ncbs.res.in

Interviews are scheduled between 19th to 30th October 2009 at NCBS, Bangalore or via video conference.
