  • At least 5 years in a leadership role managing scientific teams and projects.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and execute advanced proteomics experiments (discovery, targeted, PTM analysis).
  • Proven track record in client-facing roles, scientific presentations, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Qualifications

  • PhD / MD in a relevant discipline (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, pharmacology, or related life sciences) or equivalent experience. BS + 10 years or MS + 5 years relevant experience.
  • Strong background in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and data interpretation.
  • Experience with metabolomics and proteomics methodologies.
  • Skilled in managing multiple priorities, mentoring teams, and delivering results under tight timelines.
  • Ability to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly in both written and verbal formats.
