Postdoctoral Research Chemist
Research Title: Postdoctoral Research Chemist PREP0002996
The work will entail:
Develop targeted and non-targeted analytical mass spectrometric methods for the identification and quantification of organic contaminants in ultra-pure water and other cleaning chemicals used in the semiconductor industry. Explore various extraction and concentration techniques (SPE, SPME, purge-and-trap, headspace, etc.) and/or develop novel concentration techniques to be able to detect contaminants at trace levels. Use high-resolution mass spectrometry for compound discovery of potential unknown organic contaminants.
Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
- Develop new methods, approaches, and procedures in cooperation with coworkers or advisors with limited supervision;
- Using advanced analytical equipment such as GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, GC-HRMS, LC-MS/MS, and LC-HRMS;
- Develop non-targeted high-resolution mass spectrometry-based methods for compound discovery at trace levels;
- Investigate various extraction and concentration protocols, and if needed develop novel techniques;
- Communicate and collaborate with team members
- Present and publish results as appropriate.
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, or a related field.
- Experience in chromatography and mass spectrometry such as GC-HRMS, GC-MS/MS, LC-HRMS, LC-MS/MS, etc.
- Experience with non-targeted data analysis for compound discovery.
- Experience with method development.
- Experience with various sample extraction and concentration techniques.
- Strong oral and written communication skills.
