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.
