Postdoctoral Research Associate in MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry

What You Will DoOverviewLos Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Bioscience Division, Biochemistry and Biotechnology Group (BTEK) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to advance MALDI imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) methods and data workflows. This role focuses on spatially mapping biomolecules across diverse sample types and translating IMS data into actionable biological insight. The successful candidate will contribute to mission-driven research with national security applications (e.g., molecular signatures of radiation exposure and other biosecurity/bioenergy priorities). You will work in a highly collaborative environment with access to state-of-the-art high-resolution mass spectrometers (including multiple Orbitrap platforms) and robust high-performance computing resources. The position includes opportunities to publish in high-impact journals and present at conferences.Key Responsibilities
