Description

The Fabio Piano laboratory in the Division of Science, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit an experienced Bioanalytical Chemistry Research Associate to work on analytical and functional aspects of C. elegans metabolism covering all required mass spectrometry and chromatography applications as part of a project using a variety of other analytical techniques.

The Fabio Piano laboratory at New York University Abu Dhabi is formed by an expert team working on molecular networks and analysis of bioactive molecules in animal development using C. elegans. Multi-disciplinary approaches are employed to uncover mechanisms underlying fundamental biomolecular and biochemical processes during embryonic and larval development. A long standing interest in the laboratory has been the study of molecular and genetic networks during development and evolution (Nature 436 (7052), 861-865; Science 330 (6012), 1775-1787; Cell 134 (3), 534-545), along with the identification of genetic and chemical perturbations to study their function (Cell 145(3):470-82; Nature 434(7032):462-9; Nature Chemical Biology 3 (1), 55-59; Development 143(19):3540-3548).

As a result of recent discoveries of new bioactive molecules from large high-throughput screens (Nature Communications, 16, 305-319, 2025; Food Chemistry, 491, 145215, 2025), the laboratory plans to use the newly discovered compounds towards fundamental studies of C. elegans development and towards pre-clinical work, especially for novel anthelminthics.

To these aims the laboratory is willing to hire a

Bioanalytical Chemistry Assistant or Associate, commensurate with experience and background, to work on analytical and functional metabolomics in C. elegans or other systems using mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) that will complement other bioanalytical/biophysical techniques, as well as different chemical biology approaches to extract, purify, characterize and biologically assay natural compounds. The research activity of the requested profile will entail development and optimization of chromatographic methods and protocols for fractionation, separation and identification by mass spectrometry of hydro-soluble and lipo-soluble metabolites from C. elegans or cell cultures extracts, as well as natural compounds from vegetal sources. In general, expertise is requested in the different mass-spectrometry techniques and state-of-the-art instrument configurations. In particular, the candidate should master the commonly employed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) approaches for metabolomics and proteomics, including the relative sample preparation and treatment expertise. The candidate should also master the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques for lipidomics, along with the derivatization techniques required by GC-MS samples. All these skills should be preferably documented by peer-reviewed scientific publications where the contribution of the candidate could be clearly assessed. Candidates for the advertised position must have a Master and well-documented experience (at least 4 years), or a PhD in Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry or Biotechnology, and experimental skills in mass-spectrometry-based bioanalytical techniques and biopolymer chemistry, along with sound computer work abilities for experimental data handling and interpretation that are crucial for current cutting-edge research.

All applicants need to show excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, ability to work in a collaborative multi-disciplinary environment and have shown scientific creativity, curiosity and independence. They will join a group that is highly motivated and has expertise that spans computational skills to cell biology and genetics using C. elegans or other organisms. It is a vibrant and multicultural group that also includes members who work in shared lab space and also others who are in the New York laboratory.

The successful candidate will join a group headed by Prof. Fabio Piano for the laboratory in Abu Dhabi and must be able to obtain a work visa in the UAE. The initial contract would be for two years with a usual probationary period and is subject to final budgetary approval. The terms of employment are competitive and include housing and additional benefits. Applications will be accepted until September 1st 2025, and candidates will be considered starting fromSeptember 15th 2025.

Please submit a cover letter that includes a description of research accomplishments and research interest, curriculum vitae with full publication list, and four names of references and at least two letters all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please

New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is currently inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Associate or Research Associate in Astrophysics in the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science (CASS). The position is offered for a period of 3 years (2 years with an additional 1 year depending on performance). Competitive salary and benefits including relocation, housing, home visits, and educational subsidies for children are offered.

The current position is with Principal Investigator (PI) Associate Professor Dave Russell in the area of accretion onto compact objects. Stellar mass black holes residing in X-ray binaries (XBs) produce the most powerful jets in our galaxy via accretion from an orbiting companion star. Studies of XBs are now revealing how jets evolve with mass accretion rate and the mode of accretion, providing insights into the conditions required to launch jets. The main objective of the research program of the PI is to uncover the nature of relativistic jets and understand the connections between accretion and ejection. The processes involved in triggering outbursts using optical monitoring and the real-time pipeline X-ray Binary New Early Warning System (XBNEWS) developed at NYUAD and comparisons to AGN and other compact objects are also studied. A host of techniques and approaches will be employed, in particular using a wealth of multiwavelength data of transient XBs (photometry, spectra, and polarimetry), interactions between jets and the interstellar medium, and data from other accreting objects such as AGN, CVs, and gamma-ray bursts. Funds are available for travel to conferences, collaborations, or observing trips.

Candidates with interest and experience in the study of accreting black holes or neutron stars and candidates with experience in multiwavelength data analysis, coding pipelines for optical imaging/photometric data analysis, and spectral modelling are strongly encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will be encouraged to develop independent projects in addition to supporting the research of the PI. Candidates must hold or be in the process of completing a Ph.D. degree in Astronomy, Physics, Astrophysics, or a related subject and have demonstrated a strong research background. The Physics group at NYUAD currently has 15 faculty members and 20 postdocs and research associates; most are members of the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science (CASS). The group shares links with staff at NYU in New York.

Applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, a research statement, a transcript, and the names and contact information for three references in PDF format to be considered. Applications submitted by 31st January 2025 will be given full consideration.

If you have any questions, please contact.
