The TPD proteomics core at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a research core focused on the development and application of state of the art mass spectrometry-based discovery pipelines for targeted protein degradation and molecular glues. The TPD proteomics core is closely affiliated with the Fischer lab and the chemical biology program and serves Dana-Farber researchers and discovery partnerships.

The TPD proteomics core seeks a highly motivated individual to join the team as a RESEARCH SCIENTIST I, who will work with the team to develop and molecular glue discovery pipelines. This role involves developing and testing large scale discovery pipelines using mass spectrometry or other omics approaches, leading projects, and interacting with partners and other stakeholders to successfully perform discovery screens.

This is an excellent opportunity to work in a vibrant environment and to apply state of art computational methods to support cutting edge biological research both within the lab and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as well as through collaboration with external laboratories and industry. https://fischerlab.dana-farber.org/
