[BBC] Vacancy Post-doc RNA Biology University of Amsterdam

[Han Rauwerda]

Dear colleagues,

At the University of Amsterdam there is an open Post-doc position for a 
molecular biologist RNA Biology:


*Post-doc RNA Biology*

*Faculty of Science - Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS)*

Publication date

27 January 2015

Educational level

PhD

Salary indication

€2,997 to €4,551 gross per month (Post-doc scale 10/11)

Closing date

24 February 2015

Working hours

32 to 38 hours per week

Vacancy number

15-022


The _Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) 
<http://sils.uva.nl/>_is one of the _Faculty of Science’s 
<http://www.uva.nl/en/about-the-uva/organisation/faculties/faculties/faculties/content/folder/faculteit-der-natuurwetenschappen-wiskunde-en-informatica/faculty-of-science.html>_largest 
institutes. Its approximately 250 scientists and staff members work in 
15 research groups that perform excellent research centered on three 
themes: Cell & Systems Biology; Neurosciences, and Molecular Life Sciences.

The _RNA Biology & Applied Bioinformatics 
<http://www.rnabiology.nl/>_(RB&AB) research group at SILS is tightly 
associated with the established _MAD: Dutch Genomics Service & Support 
Provider <http://www.dutchgenomics.nl/>_, as well as with the new _Green 
Student Lab <http://www.greenstudentlab.nl/>_. The RB&AB/MAD has a 
long-standing expertise in advanced transcriptomics analysis. Next to 
the well-established microarray technology, we have our own 
next-generation sequencing platform (IonProton). Also the required ICT 
infrastructure and bioinformatics environment has been set-up. With an 
enthusiastic multidisciplinary team of 17 specialists we aim to 
understand transcriptome dynamics plus the role of RNA as a carrier of 
genetic information. As such, we have a keen interest in so-called 
‘non-coding RNA’, ‘maternal RNA’, and ‘cell-free RNA’. In the Green 
Student Lab we educate students in collaboration with plant-breeding 
companies on their genomics and bioinformatics projects.

In the context of this challenging combination of research and 
education, we are seeking a Post-doc RNA Biology.

*Project Description *

The RB&AB/MAD offers a unique starting point for an exciting mixture of 
established and innovative genomics experimentation and RNA biology 
research for both our own research and that of students. The experiments 
concern fundamental transcriptome research on for instance the role of 
maternal RNA in (Zebrafish) embryogenesis, or transmission of genetic 
information via cell-free RNA in plant sap. The applied research 
independently done by students of the Green Student Lab is primarily 
based on project ideas from associated plant-breeding companies.

The post-doc will play a key role in the RB&AB RNA biology research and 
supervision of the Green Student Lab. He/she will be embedded in and 
supported by the whole RB&AB/MAD wet-lab and dry-lab team.

*Requirements
*PhD in molecular biology;
Experience in omics research;
Interest in RNA biology;
Affinity with and experience in teaching;
Good communicative and organizational skills.
