Three Positions Open Immediately

Complex Carbohydrate Research Center

There are three positions open immediately at the Analytical Services and Training Laboratory at the Complex carbohydrate Research Center, University of Georgia. 

1. Research Technician position

Research Description

The Analytical Service and Training Laboratory (ASTL) at the University of Georgia’s Complex Carbohydrate Research Center is seeking two experienced and motivated Research Technicians to join our team. Our work involves structural characterization of complex and polysaccharides and glycoproteins from plant, bacteria and animal sources using a combination of techniques including GCMS and HPLC. This position will involve isolation and purification of glycans and performing structural analysis plant and microbial polysaccharides by derivatization and GCMS and HPLC techniques. This position will provide the candidate with the opportunity to collaborate with scientists from universities, research institutes and industry for the structural characterization studies. 

 Requirements:

• B.SC or MSc with strong motivation and a background in chemistry, biology or biochemistry or related disciplines 

• Minimum of 1-2 years of laboratory experience with HPLC and GCMS 

• A team player who thrives to work in a large collaborative scientific environment 

2. Research Professional III position

Research Description

The Analytical Service and Training Laboratory (ASTL) at the University of Georgia’s Complex Carbohydrate Research Center is seeking an experienced and motivated Research Profession to join our team. Our work involves structural characterization of complex glycoproteins from plant, bacteria and animal sources using a combination of techniques including Glycomics and Glycoproteomics using mass spectrometry, and HPLC. This position will involve isolation and purification of proteins and glycans and performing structural analysis by LCMS/MS. This position will provide the candidate with the opportunity to collaborate with scientists from universities, research institutes and industry for the structural characterization studies. 

 Requirements:
