Mass Spectrometry Scientist
About the role
Parallel Squared Technology Institute (PTI) is a non-profit research institute aiming to catalyze a leap in protein analysis technology and use it to explore new biological frontiers. PTI supports open research and educational opportunities supporting rapid career development for scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. Why?
Protein dysfunctions directly cause many diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Yet, proteins remain understudied because of technological hurdles. How? To resolve these limitations, PTI will develop mass tags enabling a new framework for multiplexed protein analysis by mass spectrometry towards achieving 100-fold increase in throughput.
Scientists at and collaborating with the institute will use these gains to directly investigate disease mechanisms and resolve problems that have proven intractable for decades. org. PTI’s new approach requires synergy between a diverse team of chemists, machine learning engineers, biologists, and mass spectrometrists.
Alzheimer’s disease and aging will be among the first focuses of this technology-driven research organization. New career opportunities Members of PTI will be supported with industry-level resources to lead research projects and disseminate their discoveries and innovations to the broader biomedical community through frequent publications, presentations, and submissions to public data portals.
Summary of Position We are looking for an experienced Mass Spectrometrist who will be working on maintaining MS instruments for running multitudes of samples for a variety of projects in addition to other responsibilities such as advancing and executing hypothesis-driven experiments.
In order to be seriously considered for this position, we require a cover letter as part of the candidate’s application.
