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

The Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Systems Biology within the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics at UT Southwestern ­Medical Center is looking to expand its research program in microbial systems biology. We seek tenure-track faculty candidates at the level of Assistant Professor with interests in microbial genetics, microbial physiology, synthetic biology, microbial metabolism, and/or microbial evolution. Applicants with experience in projects that combine quantitative high-throughput experimentation with theory and/or informatics elements would be highly suitable.


Embedded in the Department of Bioinformatics, the Center aims to discover and understand a circuit theory for biology - a set of powerful, predictive principles that can provide insight into how biological components are wired as a network to achieve complex functionalities. Center faculty collaborate closely with Bioinformatics and Computational experts in genomics, machine learning/AI, and statistical physics. The Center also houses one of the leading national hubs in quantitative light microscopy development. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center offers over 40 core facilities in cryo-electron microscopy, metabolomics, crystallographic structure determination, high-throughput small molecule screening, high resolution microscopy, and next-generation sequencing. As part of a large academic medical center, our Center presents abundant potential for collaboration with clinicians and access to clinical data and isolates.
The successful applicant will receive a highly competitive start up package.

Qualifications

A Ph.D. and significant research experience as a postdoctoral fellow in Biochemistry, Computational Biology, Microbiology, Systems Biology, Quantitative Biology or related fields is required.
It is expected that applicants will have a strong research track record as evidenced by publications and preprints.  
Demonstrated experience with acquiring funding is a plus.

Application Instructions

To apply, please submit the following:

·         Cover Letter

·         Updated CV

·         A description of current research and future scientific vision (restricted to maximum 3 pages)

·         3 letters of recommendation

Inquiries regarding this position should be directed to Dr. Kimberly Reynolds

Consideration may be given to applicants seeking less than a full-time schedule. Appointment rank will be commensurate with academic accomplishments and experience.
