Assistant Metabolomics information

What does an Assistant Metabolomics do?

An Assistant Metabolomics professional supports research and analysis related to metabolites—the small molecules involved in metabolism—within biological samples. They assist in preparing samples, operating laboratory equipment such as mass spectrometers, and analyzing data to help identify and quantify metabolites. Their work contributes to understanding metabolic pathways, disease mechanisms, and the effects of drugs or treatments on metabolism. Assistant Metabolomics roles are often found in academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology research settings.

What are some common challenges faced by an Assistant Metabolomics, and how can they be addressed?

Assistant Metabolomics professionals often encounter challenges such as managing large datasets, ensuring sample integrity, and keeping up with rapidly evolving analytical technologies. Handling complex data requires strong organizational skills and familiarity with specialized software, while maintaining consistent sample preparation is crucial for reliable results. To navigate these challenges, it's helpful to seek mentorship from experienced colleagues, participate in ongoing training, and collaborate closely with bioinformaticians and other team members.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Assistant Metabolomics, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Assistant Metabolomics, you need a background in biochemistry or life sciences, laboratory experience, and familiarity with metabolomics concepts. Proficiency with analytical instruments like mass spectrometry, NMR, and data analysis software such as MetaboAnalyst or XCMS is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork are valuable soft skills in this role. These skills ensure accurate data generation and analysis, supporting high-quality research outcomes in metabolomics studies.

Job description

SJCRH
Be the force behind the cures. From analyzing complex biomedical data in pediatric cancer to creating innovative technologies and computational tools, your work at St. Jude can directly impact patient care.
The Department of Computational Biology invites applications for Assistant/Associate/Full Member (faculty) positions in, but not limited to, the following areas:
A - Omics Technologies
We seek a computational technology innovator to develop next generation omics platforms for pediatric biology and diseases. Areas of interest include RNA biology (splicing/fusions), CRISPR functional genomics (CRISPRi/a, Perturb seq, combinatorial screens), single cell and spatial omics, metabolomics, and immunopeptidomics. The successful candidate will pioneer assay-algorithm co design, demonstrate cross disciplinary leadership and lead reproducible & open science
B - AI in Biomedicine
We seek an AI-first scientist to build foundation models and agentic AI tools spanning DNA/RNA/protein/imaging/spatial/EHR data for pediatric precision medicine. Topics include regulatory genomics foundation models, multimodal tissue/cell models (WSI + spatial + single-cell), proteogenomic/neoantigen prediction, computational pathology (WSI modeling, slide-omics fusion) and clinical informatics, plus trustworthy AI (calibration, uncertainty, drift monitoring). Candidates should have a record of impactful methods/tools, experience with clinical informatics pipelines, and a commitment to safe, reproducible, clinic-ready AI. Experience building LLM-driven, agentic systems for automated analysis or experiment planning with appropriate guardrails is highly valued.
Environment & Resources
The Department occupies 28,700 square feet of laboratory and office space. Investigators have dedicated shared resources for large-scale data analysis and functional validation, including priority access to cloud computing, a local high-performance computing facility housed in a state-of-the-art data center, a genomics laboratory for developing new omics technologies and assays, a wet lab supporting dry-lab faculty, and an software engineering team for high-throughput analysis and pipeline automation. The Department is key in multiple completed and ongoing institutional projects, including Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (PCGP), St. Jude Cloud, PedDep Accelerator, Real Time Clinical Genomics, iTARGETS, and COMET. The research environment at St. Jude is highly collaborative, with opportunities across basic and clinical departments and access to institution-wide core facilities led by PhD-level scientists.
Compensation & Appointment
We offer highly competitive packages, including generous startup funds, computing resources, equipment, laboratory space, personnel support, and potential institutional support beyond the start-up phase.
Appointments at the Assistant or Associate or Full Member level will be considered.
Qualifications
  • PhD (or equivalent) with at least three years of relevant postgraduate experience, or a demonstrated track record of developing novel, high-impact computational methods.
  • For Area A: evidence of assay-algorithm co-design in RNA/CRISPR/single-cell/spatial/metabolomics.
  • For Area B: experience with foundation models, multimodal learning, clinical NLP, and trustworthy AI; familiarity with clinical informatics.

How to Apply
Please submit the following directly via the online application:
(1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a 2-3 page summary of research interests, and (3) the names of three references
