Open Positions
NMR and Mass Spectrometry Facility Managers
The Departments of Chemistry and Comparative Biomedical Sciences at Mississippi State University are recruiting three full-time 12-month instrument managers for their Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) facilities.
Chemistry NMR Facility
The successful candidate will supervise the maintenance of assigned NMR instrumentation in the Chemistry department, as well as the training of users. Instruments include three existing NMR systems (300, 500, and 600 MHz) an 800 MHz NMR currently being installed, a helium recovery system, and an X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) system. The candidate will handle mail-in samples, billing, and work with remote users as part of their responsibilities. The successful candidate will also train students on basic NMR use, including a one-credit introductory class for new graduate students, as assigned. The successful candidate may be assigned to assist with managing other analytical research instrumentation based on their interests and expertise.

Comparative Biomedical Sciences MS Facility
The applicant will support targeted/untargeted metabolomics and proteomics efforts in the college. The instruments in the department include a Thermo Quantis 240 quadrupole-orbitrap hybrid system and a TSQ Quantis triple quadrupole, which are used to identify and quantify small molecules in biological systems. Both systems are interfaced with UPLC inlets. Prior analytical experience with LC-MS/MS is required, which could have been gained on triple quadrupoles, ion traps, orbitraps, or TOF instruments in industry or academia. Prior experience with software that enables chemical compound identification/annotation, such as Compound Discoverer(TM) or LipidSearch(TM), would be beneficial but is not required.
