About the role

The Department of Life and Environmental Sciences is leading the project ‘Resolving the extinction crisis: sustainable and technological solutions for biodiversity and society’, which also involves other researchers across BU and external partners. Within the project, we are seeking to appoint to appoint a talented, enthusiastic and motivated Post-Doctoral Research Fellow (PDRF) in analytical chemistry (applied to measuring physiological stress responses in animals using LCMS), who will work alongside three other PDRF positions that cover a range of other technical disciplines. The appointment will be made at Grade 6 of the Bournemouth University pay scale, based on research experience and track record.

You will be highly competent in quantitative, targeted LCMS analysis. Your expertise should include a range of relevant sample preparation techniques and LCMS method development. You will be able to demonstrate experience of designing and conducting validation experiments, and the calibration and maintenance of LCMS systems. Experience in untargeted HRMS analysis using LC-QTOF systems is desirable. You will be expected to analyse complex data sets using appropriate methods to a standard appropriate for publication. 

Applications with mass spectrometry experience related to animal physiology and measurement of chronic physiological stress responses would be particularly welcome.

Principal Investigator of the project, Professor Robert Britton (rbritton@bournemouth.ac.uk);

and technical lead on the Analytical Chemistry, Dr Richard Paul (rpaul@bournemouth.ac.uk),

both at the Department of Life and Environmental Sciences.
