Research Associate in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (10401)

The Institute brings together researchers in life and physical sciences, and engineering, to develop a spectrum of tools which we will use to image, interpret and intervene in biological systems. These insights will speed up the discovery of new medicines, help find new diagnostics and contribute to a deeper understanding of human health and disease.

As part of the Integrated Chemical Imaging in Cells and Tissue Challenge, your role will be to develop mass spectrometry (MS) technologies that provide a comprehensive, spatially-resolved chemical view of whole tissues at near cellular resolution.

Key Responsibilities

Develop new SIMS modalities for advanced sensitivity and spacial resolution.
Collaborate with biological and MS experts at the Franklin to optimise MSI conditions and methods for specific applications and challenges.
Adapt to working across multi-modal instrumentation and collating multiomic and imaging data from diverse sources and scales.
Investigate the use of cutting edge instrumentation to explore key scientific challenges such as sensitivity and spatial resolution.
Design, model and construct new modalities to enable subcellular chemical imaging.
Plan and conduct experiments, analyse and interpret results and supervised delivery of outputs.
Work within a project team, contributing to wider projects around Franklin's key Challenges.
Lead major contributions to outputs from research including papers, patents and both internal and external presentations.
Support and develop others including day-to-day supervision of students or visitors in areas related to own research.

Whilst the role requires candidates to hold a PhD/DPhil (or equivalent), we may consider candidates who have submitted their PhD/DPhil thesis, in which case the initial appointment will be made at £38,500 per annum (to be increased on completion of the PhD/DPhil qualification).
