About this position
The Ohio State University is advertising a Postdoctoral Scholar position in the Health and Nutritional Metabolomics Laboratory within EHE | Human Sciences Administration in Columbus, Ohio, United States.
This opportunity is centered on metabolomics, lipidomics, mass spectrometry, LC-MS, bioinformatics, systems biology, and nutrition science. The project is supported by an American Heart Association (AHA)-backed research program and focuses on applying advanced omics technologies to human clinical trial research. The scholar will be jointly mentored by Dr. Chris Zhu and Dr. Colleen Spees and will work on translational research related to cardiometabolic disease, cardiovascular and metabolic health, chronic disease mechanisms, biomarker discovery, and clinically relevant omics applications.
Research activities include targeted and untargeted metabolomics, comprehensive lipidomics profiling, integration of omics data with clinical/dietary/physiological outcomes, development of LC-MS-based analytical methods, and multi-omics data integration. The post is described as a two-year initial appointment with possible renewal depending on funding and performance.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Nutrition, Biomedical Sciences, Life Sciences, or a related field. Strong experience in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics/lipidomics and LC-MS methods is required, along with a publication record and strong communication and problem-solving skills. Preferred experience includes human clinical trial samples, R/Python/MetaboAnalyst/Cytoscape, and research in obesity, diabetes, inflammation, nutrition, or cardiovascular/metabolic disease.
How to apply: submit a single PDF through Workday containing a CV and a 1–2 page research statement. The CV should include educational background, a complete publication list, and contact information for at least three professional references.
