Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Bispebjerg Hospital

Are you motivated by improving clinical diagnostics through advanced mass spectrometry and proteomic technologies? We are looking for a Senior Mass Spectrometry Specialist to join the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at Bispebjerg Hospital. You will play a key role in strengthening our LC-MS/MS capabilities and driving innovation at the interface of clinical chemistry, proteomics, and translational research.

This is a 3-year full-time position starting 1. January 2026 (or by agreement), with the possibility of extension. Your will work in Professor Nicolai J. Wewer Albrechtsen’s research group, and in the clinical LC-MS/MS section, and be part of a dynamic clinical proteomics team dedicated to developing next-generation diagnostic tools.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead the development, optimization, and implementation of LC-MS/MS workflows, including DIA, DDA, PRM, and targeted assays.
• Ensure reliable and high-quality performance of LC-MS/MS instruments through method development, routine QC, troubleshooting, and coordination with external vendors.
• Oversee instrument qualification, service, and maintenance, ensuring minimal downtime in a clinical laboratory setting.
• Drive laboratory innovation by evaluating, validating, and integrating new separation technologies and automation solutions.
• Provide senior technical guidance and supervision to bioanalysts, researchers, and students in sample preparation, data acquisition, and workflow execution.
• Collaborate with clinicians, chemists, pathologists, and bioinformaticians to translate proteomics data into clinically meaningful insights.
• Lead LC and LC-MS–based method development for comprehensive characterization of proteins, peptides, and biologics.
• Ensure compliance with hospital quality systems, maintaining high standards of documentation, data integrity, and traceability.
• Present results, progress, and methodological updates in departmental, interdisciplinary, and cross-functional meetings.
• Foster a collaborative, service-oriented, and patient-focused laboratory culture, supporting continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.

What We Expect

• Hold a degree in proteomics, analytical chemistry, biomedicine, bioengineering, or a related field (PhD or equivalent experience preferred).
• Have substantial hands-on experience with LC-MS/MS method development and maintenance.
• Bring strong expertise in MS-based proteomics (DIA, DDA, PRM).
• Have experience with data processing, QC, and visualization; Python or R is an advantage.
• Communicate clearly across disciplines and enjoy working in a clinical setting.
• Work independently with strong attention to detail.
• Preferably have experience with hospital workflows or regulated laboratory environments.
