Weekend Lipidomics Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMl)IBioFabUSA is a Member-based non-profit, member-driven, public-private partnership with a mission to advance the bioeconomy and transform the future of human health. ARMI provides technical and wrap‑around commercialization services to companies seeking to advance technologies that will contribute to this impact.

ARMI is seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our growing Multi-Omics group to develop and apply state-of-the-art methodologies to interrogate small molecule signatures within our bioprocesses. The successful candidate will spearhead efforts to characterize metabolomics and lipidomics profiles across processes in manufacturing cell‑based therapy products, collaborating across groups for multi‑omic analysis. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated expertise in untargeted metabolomics and/or lipidomics and extensive hands‑on experience with sample handling automation, LC‑MS instrumentation, and data analysis software platforms.

• Develop an optimized pipeline for deep, untargeted analysis of polar metabolites and lipids from bioreactor cultured cells and conditioned media.
• Prepare bioreactor samples for liquid chromatography‑mass spectrometry analysis, leveraging automation for improved throughput.
• Operate and maintain Thermo LC‑MS instrumentation, including Vanquish UHPLC, Exploris 480, and IQ‑X.
• Analyze LC‑MS raw data with processing software including Compound Discoverer, LipidSearch, MZmine, and Python/R scripting.
• Collaborate closely within the Multi‑Omics group and across Process Development and Data Science groups to discover and communicate biological insights that will deliver impact.
• Engage with Operations Support, service engineers, and vendors for instrument maintenance, optimization, and upgrades.
• Adhere to safety and quality guidelines and SOPs.

• Degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or related area. MS with 5-10 years of experience or PhD with 2-5 years postgraduate experience.
• Significant hands‑on experience across all stages of untargeted small molecule analyses: sample preparation, mass spectrometric analyses, and data processing and interpretation.
• Familiarity with lab automation and higher‑throughput workflows. Experience with Biomek systems is a plus.
• Good communication skills, proactive attitude, and results‑driven mindset.

• Work in a laboratory environment with exposure to biological materials, chemical reagents, and analytical instrumentation.
• Ability to stand for extended periods and safely operate laboratory equipment.
• Occasional work outside of regular business hours, including evening, weekend, or overtime work may be required to support critical project timelines and business needs.
• Limited travel may be required for conferences, training, or client meetings.
