## About the Role

We are looking to strengthen and expand the portfolio of functional omics services in our Core Facility Metabolomics and Proteomics and are seeking a highly motivated and accomplished Senior Scientist (f/m/x) to establish and expand tracer metabolomics and fluxomics capabilities, supporting researchers across Helmholtz Munich and beyond.

Our new colleague will be a team player enthusiastic about developing new analytical methods and advancing state-of-the-art metabolomics technologies. Training users, teaching advanced analytical methods, supervising scientific and technical staff and presenting results internally and externally are part of the job. The position reports directly to the Head of the Metabolomics and Proteomics Core Facility and will be available from January 2027.

Come and join a vibrant, cutting-edge international research environment and a highly motivated, collaborative Core Facilities team. We look forward to hearing from you., * PhD in Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Systems Biology, or a related field.

 * Demonstrated expertise in tracer metabolomics and/or metabolic flux analysis using 13C, 15N and/or deuterium-labelled substrates.
 * Hands-on experience across the tracer workflow, from experimental design to data analysis and interpretation.
 * Experience with LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS instrumentation, including operation, optimization and troubleshooting.
 * Hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture and the processing of other relevant biological matrices (e.g., tissues, biofluids) for metabolomics analyses.
 * Solid understanding of cellular metabolism and metabolic pathways, with the ability to interpret data in a biological context.
 * Computational skills for metabolomics and fluxomics data analysis, including proficiency in R and/or Python.
 * Experience with software such as El-MAVEN, XCMS, MetaboAnalyst, INCA or 13CFLUX2 (or comparable tools).
 * Experience in training users, teaching, or supervising scientific or technical staff.
