Job description

The group of Prof. Dr. Lennart Martens, located in Ghent, Belgium, focuses on the analysis and integration of omics data. In light of a recently granted IWT SBO project ‘inspector: an integrated informatics platform for mass spectrometry-based protein assays’ the group is now looking for a (junior) postdoc to work on computational proteomics, specifically with regard to the development and implementation of novel algorithms and tools to support targeted proteomics approaches.
The goal of this project is to increase the efficiency of targeted proteomics methods such as Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) through ab initio computational determination of optimal target peptides and transitions.
Starting date will be 1 March 2013 or earlier, based on availability.
We offer an initial 2-year contract that can be extended based on performance, and competitive remuneration. The group has an international character, is highly productive and offers a dynamic and open atmosphere in which collaborations and initiative are welcomed.
