You will be working closely with a team of senior scientists, staff and students to meet the responsibilities detailed below.


• Plan and organize standard operating procedures of the projects

• Develop new analytical methods (LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS) for biomonitoring compounds such as metabolites, PFAS, Phthalates, PCBs, PAHS, and heavy metals

• Perform sample preparation protocols for human blood samples

• Routine operation of LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS, once proficiently trained

• Assist in processing and quality control of mass spectrometry data

• Prepare project updates
