Faculteit der Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Informatica, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Physical Organic Chemistry

Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science (FNWI), part of Radboud University, engages in groundbreaking research and excellent education. In doing so, we push the boundaries of scientific knowledge and pass that knowledge on to the next generation.

We seek solutions to major societal challenges, such as cybercrime and climate change and work on major scientific challenges, such as those in the quantum world. At the same time, we prepare our students for careers both within and outside the scientific field.

Currently, more than 1,300 colleagues contribute to research and education, some as researchers and lecturers, others as technical and administrative support officers. The faculty has a strong international character with staff from more than 70 countries. Together, we work in an informal, accessible and welcoming environment, with attention and space for personal and professional development for all.

Radboud University
At Radboud University, we aim to make an impact through our work. We achieve this by conducting groundbreaking research, providing high-quality education, offering excellent support, and fostering collaborations within and outside the university. In doing so, we contribute indispensably to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. To accomplish this, we need even more colleagues who, based on their expertise, are willing to search for answers. We advocate for an inclusive community and welcome employees with diverse backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives.

Do you want to work on the chemistry of the future and contribute to new, sustainable materials?We are looking for a Research Assistant to support research activities in automated peptide synthesis. Our lab runs various research projects in which large libraries of various peptides and peptide derivatives are routinely synthesized with automated synthesis platforms.

As Research Assistant, you will work closely with PhD students and post-docs to operate this automated synthesis platform. You will support ongoing projects, and take charge of organization and execution of peptide synthesis. The diversity of molecules we make in our laboratory often asks for optimization of synthesis and work up protocols. You will be develop and optimize the necessary new synthetic and work-up protocols, and you will train new students in practical aspects of solid phase peptide synthesis.

Does this sound like you?

  • You have a HBO or master degree in organic synthesis
  • You have hands-on experience with solid phase peptide synthesis
  • You like to work in teams in an organized and structured manner
  • You have experience with routine chemical analyses, specifically HPLC-MS
  • You have an affinity for teaching
  • You are comfortable communicating, both written and verbally, in English
