Postdoc 'Identification and understanding genetic modifiers of hereditary hearing loss'

The Deafness genetics' reseach group in Hearing & Genes, headed by Prof. dr. Hannie Kremer and Dr. Ronald Pennings, aims to unravel the genetic landscape of hereditary hearing loss and determine and understand genotype-phenotype correlations. The gained insights are being employed for the development of therapeutic interventions in the closely associated research team headed by dr. Erwin van Wijk and dr. Erik de Vrieze. The Hearing & Genes team is well known and has collaborators worldwide in research institutes and industry.

The candidate will be embedded in the Department of Human Genetics within the Radboudumc (Nijmegen, the Netherlands), which is internationally renowned for its research and diagnostics of a variety of genetic and genomic disorders. The Department offers an exciting working environment with enthusiastic people from many parts of the world enjoying challenging and excellent research in omics, disease modeling (cell, organoid and animal models), and therapy development.
