Summary of Role
The post has been created by an exciting collaboration between Phenome Centre Birmingham and the Horizon 2020 PrecisionTox consortium and will contribute to fulfilling their shared research objectives with a focus on applying mass spectrometry metabolomics to study human health and toxicology.
The post holder will be involved in the application of LC-MS metabolomics to multiple toxicological and human health-related projects in PCB, working with a team whose expertise spans analytical chemistry, bioinformatics, biostatistics, metabolic biochemistry, and toxicology.
The post will focus on applying high-throughput analytical methods, including advanced robotic sample preparation and state-of-the-art hybrid LC-MS metabolomics assays that combine untargeted analyses with targeted measurements of metabolic biomarkers. The metabolomics will be conducted under QA/QC within a CRO-like environment. Sample types routinely analysed include human cell lines, tissues, biofluids, and multiple model organism extracts (C. elegans, Drosophila, Zebrafish, D. magna, Xenopus). The post will involve scientific collaborations within and external to the University of Birmingham, including members of the PrecisionTox consortium. It will initially be for 2 years with potential for extension.
