13 PhD Student/Postdoctoral Positions in Systems Biology of Metabolism and Ageing, Netherlands
PhD and Postdoctoral Position Scholarship includes research in Network-based statistical inference in University of Groningen Netherlands
Systems Biology Centre for Metabolism and Ageing (SBC-EMA) is one of three national systems biology centres funded by the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO). It is a joint effort between the University Medical Centre Groningen and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Groningen. The Centre will be housed in the new building of ERIBA, the European Research Institute on the Biology of Ageing. In SBC-EMA scientists from various disciplines will collaborate. The University of Groningen offers excellent facilities for research and training.
Project description
Rosalind Franklin Fellowship at KVI, Netherlands
PhD & Postdoctoral : Rosalind Franklin Fellowship in Science and Mathematics at The Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut (KVI), University of Groningen- Netherlands – Candidates should have international experience of at least two years
University of Groningen (RUG) invites applications from female academics to fill 22 tenure track positions now available in its prestigious Rosalind Franklin Fellowship programme. The programme aims to increase the presence of women at the highest levels of the institution. One Fellowship is available at the Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut (Accelerator Institute). We are looking for ambitious, creative women who aim for a career towards full professorship in a European top research university.
Applicants ideally have
* a PhD degree and post-doctoral experience of at least three years
* at least two or three publications per year in international, high quality, peer reviewed journals
* international experience of at least two years
* experience in supervising research projects
* teaching experience and qualifications
* organizational qualities and communication skills
* experience in acquiring research funds
Postdoctoral Fellow in Tenure Track Functional Genomics, Netherland
Post Doctoral Fellowship,Tenure Track Functional Geno mics,Netherland
The Department of Genetics at the University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands, has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of functional genomics. The Wijmenga laboratory focuses on the genetics of immune-related diseases such as celiac disease and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) . We have implicated some 40 genetic loci in celiac disease and shown that many of these are not unique for celiac disease but are in fact shared with other diseases, in particular with IBD, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. We want to investigate – systematically and on a genome-wide level – the biological processes in which the known disease-associated genes are involved. Our aim is to understand how these different genes together cause the disease phenotype. The work will be carried out in a highly dynamic team containing PhD students and postdocs with genetic, molecular biology, statistical genetic, epidemiology and bioinformatic backgrounds. We also collaborate widely with other groups, at a national as well as international level.
The department is an energetic, dynamic, and international environment, with state-of-the-art technology. We are interested in recruiting self-motivated individuals with the drive to be competitive at the international level. Candidates will be strongly encouraged to develop new avenues like iPS technology or to set up cellular screens using shRNA. Candidates with good analytical skills and a strong background in genetics, molecular biology, or immunology are encouraged to apply. You should preferably have experience in high-throughput methods (SNP or gene expression microarrays, next generation sequencing) and an interest in working on large datasets with bioinformatics tools (such as PLINK, R/BioConductor).
