Institution: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Laboratory for Precision Exposomics and Metabolomics (PRIME)

Location: New York, NY

PRIME seeks a Research Track Assistant Professor to lead the development of new methods for LC and GC- HRMS analysis of emerging sample types (hard and soft tissues) and then write and publish methods publications; provide support to team members and ongoing research projects including instrument troubleshooting, literature review, experimental design, and data interpretation; provide consulting on large and pilot projects from both Mount Sinai and external investigators; and actively participate, alongside the PI, Dr. Lauren Petrick, in meetings central to our research program (HHEAR, P30, others).

The goal of PRIME is to advance mass spectrometry tools and the discovery of the internal exposome. We develop untargeted and targeted methods to evaluate the systemic environment (e.g., blood, urine) and microenvironment (e.g., fibroids, tumor tissues) and encourage the inclusion of susceptible populations (e.g., dried blood spots, microsamplers) in clinical and epidemiological cohorts across disease contexts. We are a well-funded NIH HHEAR Laboratory Resource and analyze samples from small and large epidemiological cohorts (~100-3000 samples) to support collaborators and our own research, which focuses on adult and pediatric cancers and women’s health (particularly women over 40). We are an innovative research lab with 3 LC-HRMS (Agilent 6550, Thermo E0240, Thermo HF-X) and 1 GC-HRMS (Q-Exactive) for our exclusive research needs.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter and CV to lauren.petrick@mssm.edu on or before July 10, 2023 using the subject line “Assistant Professor applicant”. We hope to meet potential candidates between July 17 and Aug 18.
