Postdoctoral Researcher in Interactions Proteomics, Gene Regulation and Cancer (0.8 - 1.0 FTE)

• Employment: 0.8 - 1.0 FTE
• Gross monthly salary: € 2,846 - € 4,490
• Faculty of Science
• Required background: PhD
• Application deadline: 21 March 2022

Are you an experienced biologist/chemist looking for a new challenge? As a postdoc, you will contribute to the field of cancer genomics and interaction proteomics and work in the collaborative environment of RIMLS-Science, which focuses on epigenetics, stem-cell and developmental biology, and computational biology.

We are looking for an ambitious postdoctoral researcher with ample experience in molecular biology and/or protein biochemistry. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will particulate in a national consortium (Oncode Institute) dedicated to deciphering the impact of non-coding mutations in malignant transformation and carcinogenesis. You will apply and develop state-of-the-art interaction proteomics technologies to identify proteins that interact with non-coding mutations. In addition, you will use follow-up approaches to further validate and functionally study these interactions. You will also collaborate with other lab members in ongoing interaction proteomics-based projects. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to develop novel ideas and work on additional independent projects that align with this research theme.

Profile

• You hold a PhD in molecular biology, analytical chemistry or a related field.
• You have excellent communication and writing skills (in English).
• You have strong analytical skills and a result-oriented attitude.
• You are a creative thinker and have a high degree of independence.

Experience with any of the following would be an advantage:

• Mammalian cell culturing.
• Bioinformatics analysis of large (proteomics and genomics) datasets.
• State-of-the-art interaction proteomics and genomics applications.

We are

The RIMLS-Science institute at Radboud University is a leading research institute that integrates state-of-the-art multi-omics technologies to uncover the molecular basis of development and cellular differentiation in health and disease. Michiel Vermeulen 's lab at the RIMLS-Science institute consists of about 15 researchers and provides a vivid, international research environment. Our extensive collaborative network (i.e. Oncode Institute) also provides ample opportunities for networking and joint research activities both in the Netherlands and abroad.

Radboud University
We want to get the best out of science, others and ourselves. Why? Because this is what the world around us desperately needs.
