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.
Would you like to contribute to the development of new cancer therapies? Are you a researcher driven to conduct high-quality research? Do you endorse the importance of teamwork? Then you are the postdoctoral researcher we are looking for!
We are looking for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher in the context of the Oncode Accelerator Growth Fund Project (https://www.oncodeaccelerator.nl/). The overarching aim of this large consortium is to innovate and accelerate the development of new cancer therapies to address unmet medical needs. You will be working closely with various groups in this consortium in the Netherlands and you will be applying state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics techniques, including thermal proteome profiling, to determine the on- and off-targets of existing and newly developed cancer drugs in cancer cell lines and organoid models. You will also have the opportunity to develop additional research lines and/or ideas that align with this topic.
This project will be executed at the Department of Molecular Biology. Research in the team of Michiel Vermeulen currently focuses on understanding how genes are regulated and expressed in stem cells and cancer. The department of Molecular Biology is part of the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS-Science), which is one of the six research institutes of the Faculty of Science of the Radboud University. The overarching aim of RIMLS-Science is to decipher molecular mechanisms of disease. Research areas of RIMLS-Science include epigenetics, stem-cell and developmental biology, and computational biology. The central research theme is regulation of gene expression during development and in health and disease. Important tools used by the institute include next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, single-cell (multi-omics) analysis and computational analysis and method development. To perform state-of-the-art research, RIMLS-Science operates its own wet-lab and computational facilities. RIMLS-Science actively contributes to teaching activities in the Biology study programme at Radboud University. Michiel Vermeulen’s lab consists of about 15 researchers and provides a vivid, international research environment. The extensive collaborative network (i.e. Oncode Institute, Oncode Accelerator, Radboud university medical center) also provides ample opportunities for networking and joint research activities within the Netherlands and abroad.
You can apply only via the button below. Address your letter of application to Michiel Vermeulen. In the application form, you will find which documents you need to include with your application.
The first interviews will take place in week 47 (online). Any second interview will take place in week 50 (at the Radboud University campus). You will preferably start your employment on 1 February 2025.
