The research group of Rik Lindeboom is a newly established laboratory that uses quantitative biology to understand the protein interactions in tumor and immune cells. Our lab provides a fresh and vibrant environment where we integrate state-of-the-art proteomics and genomics technologies with advanced data analysis workflows. An important underlying linchpin in our lab is the use of absolute quantification of abundances and interaction strengths at high-throughput, to obtain a quantitative understanding of how proteins operate inside and between cells.
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to measure and study how binding kinetics of oncogenic transcription factors are regulated. The foundation for this exciting project is described in our recently published Nature Biotechnology paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-023-01715-w.
We truly make a difference here
At the Netherlands Cancer Institute, we have a shared goal: solving the problem of cancer together. Quite a lot, but not impossible. Here, science and health care join forces towards innovation. We keep finding new ways to help people facing cancer on a global scale. Here we save lives, gain time and quality. Thanks to the latest techniques and especially thanks to our amazing talented staff who are curious, precise, warm, persistent, and team players.
We seek to recruit an enthusiastic and highly motivated PhD student with affinity for molecular biology and data analysis, and a strong interest in transcription factor biology, biochemistry, systems biology and genomics. The candidate should be creative, independent, and have a problem-solving attitude. Good communication skills and the ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team are essential. Proven wet-lab experience is a requirement. Previous experience with molecular biology, biochemistry and data analysis would be advantageous.
The gross salary per month will range from € 3.523,- to € 4.277, according to the PhD salary scale of the NKI. The terms of employment will be in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement for Hospitals which includes a fixed end-of-year bonus (8,33%) and 8,33% holiday pay. You will be enrolled in the OOA oncology graduate school and have the opportunity to follow high-quality courses.
Your travel expenses will be reimbursed at € 0,19 per km. Free parking at the Netherlands Cancer Institute is also part of the package. Personnel is stimulated to use public transport and bicycle and therefore we offer an interesting arrangement for cyclists and/or discount on the NS-business card.
