What is a metabolomics job?

A Metabolomics job involves studying small molecules (metabolites) in biological systems to understand metabolic processes, biomarkers, and disease mechanisms. Professionals in this field use advanced analytical techniques like mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy to identify and quantify metabolites. They work in research institutions, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and biotechnology to develop diagnostics, therapies, and personalized medicine. Strong knowledge of chemistry, biology, and data analysis is essential for this role.

What does a typical workday look like for someone in a metabolomics position?

A typical workday in Metabolomics often involves preparing biological samples, running analyses on instruments like LC-MS or NMR, and processing large data sets using specialized software. You may collaborate with colleagues in bioinformatics, biology, or clinical teams to interpret results and troubleshoot experimental issues. Throughout the week, there are often meetings to discuss findings, plan experiments, or coordinate with external partners such as core facilities or research collaborators. This dynamic environment provides opportunities to contribute to scientific discovery, advance technical expertise, and take on increasing responsibility with experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a metabolomics position?

To thrive in a Metabolomics role, you need a solid background in biochemistry or molecular biology, experience with analytical techniques like mass spectrometry or NMR, and typically a graduate degree in a relevant field. Proficiency with laboratory instrumentation, bioinformatics tools, data analysis software such as MetaboAnalyst, and familiarity with quality control standards are highly valued. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams are crucial soft skills. These skills ensure accurate data generation, meaningful biological interpretation, and effective contribution to research or clinical projects.

Job description

Overview
Alnylam's Translational Research group is seeking a highly motivated Metabolomics Scientist to join our team. We use untargeted and targeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based omics and computational biology to support biomarker discovery and target validation efforts for our RNAi-based therapeutics. The successful candidate will have a background in biological sample preparation for endogenous metabolites/lipids, LC-MS/MS operation/troubleshooting, and omics-level data analysis.
This position is onsite and will be primarily located in Cambridge, MA.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, validate, and apply LC-MS/MS methods for endogenous metabolite and lipid quantification to identify and measure biomarkers, characterize pharmacodynamic activity of novel therapeutic molecules, and answer foundational biological questions.
  • Perform end-to-end metabolite/lipid sample preparation protocols for biofluids, solid tissues, and cultured cells.
  • Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot LC-MS systems as needed.
  • Develop and apply bioinformatics tools for large-scale data processing and statistical analysis.
  • Identify and onboard novel technologies for biomarker measurement and identification.
  • Maintain QC records, analyze data, and document protocols/results in a clearly organized electronic lab notebook.
  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary and external teams to support preclinical and clinical drug discovery activities.
  • Contribute to preclinical/clinical study design and biomarker strategies for drug candidate programs.
  • Serve as subject matter expert for general questions pertaining to translational biology.
  • Present results at internal/external meetings and author findings in reports/manuscripts.

Qualifications
  • PhD in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, biological engineering, or related field required, with post-doctoral experience a plus; or MS with 8+ years' experience, preferably in pharma/biotech.
  • Direct experience with triple-quadrupole and high-resolution accurate mass LC-MS/MS-based methods for endogenous metabolite/lipid quantification (ideally with Sciex QTRAP and Thermo Orbitrap systems), including assay development and validation.
  • Experience with metabolite/lipid extraction sample preparation from biofluids, tissues, and/or cultured cells.
  • Experience with relevant omics-based bioinformatics software; familiarity with basic programming languages (e.g. Python or R) and/or AI-based coding tools (e.g. Claude Code or Codex) is a strong plus.
  • Experience with stable isotope tracing and/or metabolic flux analysis is also a plus.
  • A strong publication record and demonstration of successful collaborations.
  • Strong written and oral communication skills.
  • Strong abilities to work both independently and in a team environment.

Intellectual curiosity, a passion for science, critical thinking skills, and a willingness to ask questions.
