Dear all, The department of Pathology at the VUmc Amsterdam is looking for a Postdoc in Cancer Genomics: https://www.werkenbijvumc.nl/vacatures/postdoc-tumor-genome-analysis/ Job description: Your work environment This Postdoc position is within the Tumor Genome Analysis Core laboratory, a dynamic research group in genomics that is supported by state-of-the-art data analysis and infrastructure for cancer research. Various fundamental- and translational genome research projects are aimed to provide cancer patients with optimal, individualized medical care. Within this Dutch Cancer Society / KWF funded project we specifically offer support, time and resources to create your own line of research. Our state-of-the-art accredited laboratory and genomics core is at your disposal, and is backed by the skillful bioinformatics research team of the Tumor Genome Analysis Core laboratory. Background info at http://www.tgac.nl/. Your challenge To complement our research team, we are looking for an independent post-doctoral research fellow that stands out in creativity and ambition. Your primary task is to resolve structure and clinical relevance of distinctive genomic rearrangements in cancer. To achieve this, the successful candidate will employ cell culture models, as well as investigate clinical specimens to further characterize these genomic rearrangements using various techniques, including FISH and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Your profile We are looking for a Postdoc who brings the following expertise: * University (PhD) education in (Bio)Medical and/or Life Sciences; * Excellent communication skills and proven scientific writing talent are a prerequisite for this position; * Wetlab skills are desirable; * You have affinity with (cancer) genomics and statistics; * You have some experience with scripting and/or programming and handling large amounts of (scientific) data; * You are a team player able to think outside the box. Interested? If you're interested about this position, please contact dr. Bauke Ylstra, professor in tumor genome analysis at +31 (0)20-4442495 or with Cees Knottnerus at +31 (0)20-4445635.
