Main Responsibilities

Applications are invited for the position of Proteomics Technician to support senior facility staff with facility operations, on-going proteomics services.

We are looking for highly motivated and organized candidates with previous experience in, proteomics or similar analytical techniques. Candidates must have good communication skills, capable of working in a group, and with a high degree of work autonomy.

The facility offers a full range of proteomic and mass spectrometry-based services that include:

- Quality control and quality assessment, inventory maintenance, laboratory purchases, and elaborate service quotations among other administrative tasks
- Protein extraction and protein quantification
- Protein digestion using different approaches such as gel digestion, liquid digestion, and FASP digestion procedures.
- Different PTMs enrichment like as phosphorylation, acetylation
- Label peptide using iTRAQ/TMT approach.

 

What we offer

- Incorporation in a multinational and highly collaborative team.
- An exciting and innovative research project.
- Working in the mixed basic, and clinical research environment of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute.
- The stimulating environment of the Barcelona metropolitan area. 
- Salary commensurate with qualifications

The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) is a nonprofit research institute based in Badalona and dedicated to advancing our understanding about leukemia and related disorders, in partnership with the University of Barcelona and Autonomous University of Barcelona. The IJC has laboratories in three clinical campuses: i) Clinic Hospital, ii) Sant Pau Hospital and iii) ICO-GTIP. The IJC serves as a collaborative hub for basic investigators and physicians to work together on fundamental biological and clinical aspects of leukemia. The IJC offers an excellent working environment built around an excellent environment and state-of-the-art facilities.

Research Description

Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) is working to become a reference institute to apply precision medicine to leukaemia using different OMICs approaches. The aim of IJC is to promote a competitive proteomics facility that gives support for translational research.

Proteomics techniques have been successfully applied in translational medicine studies and help move towards personalized medicine. Our proteomics unit is involved in various biomedical research areas, giving both scientific and technological support to internal and external researchers and clinicians.

To have access to state-of-the-art technology, we have a collaboration agreement with some public institutions that belong to the Proteomics Spanish Society (ProteoRed – ISCIII).
