The Wishart lab group at the University of Alberta’s Department of Biological Sciences is a world leader in metabolomic research. We are currently seeking a full-time post-doctoral fellow in mass spectrometry (MS). The successful candidate will have proven experience in analytical chemistry or a related field and should have experience in the MS. The incumbent will be responsible for development of metabolomics methods based on LC/MS, GC/MS and ICP/MS, analyzing and interpreting MS results, and writing manuscripts.
Dr. David Wishart is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta. He is a highly respected scientist who operates one of the largest and best-equipped laboratories at the University of Alberta. His research facilities are situated in the Department of Biological Sciences and the Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Sciences on the University of Alberta campus. Dr. Wishart’s laboratories contain more than $10 million in cutting-edge analytical equipment including more than a half dozen high-end mass spectrometers and a fully equipped 700 MHz NMR spectrometer with a 5 mm triple resonance cryoprobe and a SampleJet autosampler. Dr. Wishart has active research programs in precision health, cancer (lung, breast), infectious diseases (COVID-19), neurological diseases (Alzheimer’s, ALS), kidney diseases, animal/livestock health, forestry research, microbiome research, food chemistry, structural biology, portable sensor systems and metabolomics technology development. He has active collaborations with more than 30 scientists around the world.
