Job Summary

This role involves cutting-edge applied research at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced analytical chemistry within the Faculty of Biotechnology at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing a multiomics platform for the complementary analysis of food and fermentation processes, focusing on the BMFTR-funded "SAM3" project. Key tasks include advancing the volatilomics platform (GC-IMS-MS, GC-HRMS), establishing reference analytics (GC-MS, LC-MS), and developing sophisticated AI-based data analysis tools using Python and R, including methods like CNN, GAN, and Autoencoders. This position requires a doctoral degree in a relevant scientific field (e.g., Chemistry, Bioinformatics) and strong expertise in instrumental analytics (GC-MS/LC-MS/MS) and bioinformatics/metabolomics. This is an exciting opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects with renowned industry partners, contributing to the digitalization of analytical processes in a high-class, well-equipped research environment.
