PostDoc
For a joint FET-H2020 Research and Innovation project with the De Rooij Laboratory (Department of Molecular Cancer Research) we are looking for a Postdoc (PhD).
The project encompasses studies into the cell/ECM and cell/cell contact interphase and how these interactions control mammary gland homeostasis and breast cancer progression.
Background should be Molecular Biology or Biochemistry. Candidates have a strong interest in cell biology and clinically relevant translational research focused on tumor progression.
An absolute must is broad experience in cell biology (ranging from viral reconstitution experiments and functional cellular assays to high-end confocal microscopy in 3D cultured cell lines and primary tumor material). Knowledge of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion biology is strongly preferred. If you have a licence for working with animals (mice), it would be a BIG plus.
This is a full time temporary positions for 3 years.

Research Technician
You will contribute to the breast cancer research performed in the Bakker group, investigating the mechanisms through which R-spondins drive breast tumor development. You will be responsible for mouse breeding, maintenance, monitoring and experiments. This will be combined with a broad range of molecular and cellular techniques, including cloning, PCR, flow cytometry, 2D and 3D cell culture and confocal/live imaging. You hold a BaSc, BSc or MSc degree in Life Sciences/Biology or related field. You have a permit (article 9/12/13) and experience to work with mice, or otherwise the willingness to obtain a permit and perform preclinical mouse experiments. You should be familiar with standard molecular, cellular and biochemical assays and have a flexible and dedicated work mentality. This is a fulltime position (or part-time minimally 32 hrs/week) for an initial 1 year, with an expected extension of another 2 years. |
