About this position

BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Chemistry Department in Sèvres, France (Greater Paris area).

The post is focused on protein quantification by mass spectrometry, with particular emphasis on host cell protein (HCP) quantification, peptide/protein standards, proteomics workflows, and LC-hrMS method development. The successful candidate will work with the Protein Standards team on developing and validating analytical methods, optimizing enzymatic digestion, building label-free data processing workflows, and establishing external calibration strategies for protein calibrator solutions.

This opportunity is especially relevant for researchers in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, proteomics, and related bioanalytical fields. The role involves use of proteomics software such as MaxQuant, Proteome Discoverer, and Skyline, plus method validation for robustness, linearity, LOQ, precision, trueness, and uncertainty budgeting.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in analytical chemistry or biochemistry (or a closely related field), experience with LC systems and mass spectrometry, preferably high-resolution/Orbitrap instruments, strong proteomics data analysis skills, and fluency in English. The post also values teamwork, autonomy, attention to detail, and the ability to work in a multicultural environment.

Funding and terms: full-time 1-year fixed-term appointment, competitive gross annual salary starting from 57,839 euros, plus eligible allowances and expatriate compensation. Benefits include paid leave, pension, and private health insurance.

Deadline: 31 May 2026 at 23:59 Paris time.

How to apply: send a CV and covering letter in English to [email protected], including the names of two referees. Shortlisted candidates may be invited to a written test and/or remote interview.
