* Perform sample preparation, protein digestion, mass spectrometry acquisition, and data analysis for proteomics research.
* Maintain and troubleshoot high-end mass spectrometry instrumentation, ensuring high-quality results.
* Implement quality control (QC) and validation protocols for proteomics workflows.
* Develop strategies for protein identification, annotation, and quantification, using advanced data processing tools (e.g., Proteome Discoverer, MaxQuant, …).
* Actively participate in scientific publications, documentation, and standardization of protocols.
* Support research projects and collaborate with national and international partners.
* Assist in lab organization, supply management, and maintenance of proteomics databases.
WHAT WE OFFER
* The opportunity to work on cutting-edge biomedical projects with high impact.
* A collaborative and interdisciplinary environment with national and international partners.
* Access to state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS technologies.
* Opportunities for career development and training in proteomics and analytical sciences.

Requirements
Qualifications:
* PhD, Master’s, or Bachelor’s degree in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
Knowledge and Experience:
* Extensive experience in mass spectrometry and chromatography (LC-MS/MS, HRMS) applied to proteomics.
* Strong background in proteomics workflows, including bottom-up and top-down proteomics, DIA, and label-free quantification.
* Proficiency in software for MS data processing (e.g., MaxQuant, Proteome Discoverer, Skyline,…).
* Experience in data preprocessing.
* Experience in mass spectrometry instrument maintenance and troubleshooting.
* High motivation for research and scientific documentation/publication.
* Excellent organizational skills, teamwork ability, and problem-solving skills.
* Fluency in English (B1 or higher) and proficiency in Spanish and Catalan.
* Experience in protein sample preparation from biofluids or tissues.
* Experience in advanced techniques such as glycoproteomics and PTMs analysis.
* Familiarity with standard operating procedures (SOPs) and quality management systems.
* Knowledge of machine learning applications in proteomics, and statistical analysis (univariate/multivariate), and bioinformatics tools.
