Phd Position Vascular Immunometabolism

1 maand geleden

AmsterdamZuidoost, Nederland Amsterdam UMC Voltijd

**About the project**:
In this PhD project, you will delve into the intricate relationship between endothelial cell metabolism and immunomodulation in the context of atherosclerosis. Your research will focus on understanding how alterations in endothelial cell metabolism are linked to their inflammatory phenotype and how these cells act as active immunomodulators in cardiovascular disease. You will explore the role of endothelial immune checkpoint proteins(ICPs) in regulating T-cell activation and macrophage function in atherosclerotic plaques. This innovative approach aims to uncover new insights into the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and identify potential therapeutic target.

**About the role**:
As a PhD student, you will conduct cutting-edge research combining wet lab and dry lab techniques in equal measure.
- **In the wet lab**: you will perform experiments using 3D organ-on-chip models, conduct Seahorse Flux analysis, and carry out immunoblotting and qPCR analysis. You will also work with animal models and prepare samples for metabolomics and RNA-sequencing.
- ** In the dry lab**: you will focus on bioinformatics and data analysis, with a strong emphasis on (single-cell) RNA-seq analysis.

Your main goal will be to uncover novel therapeutic targets by investigating the crosstalk between metabolism-driven inflammatory responses and immunomodulatory properties of endothelial cells. You will also collaborate with the Department of Vascular Medicine to validate our findings in a human cohorts.

**Profile**:

- You have a master's degree in a field related to biomedical sciences, (medical) biology, biochemistry, or bioinformatics;
- You have experience in molecular biology, immunology and cardiovascular disease;
- You are willing to learn how to perform transcriptomic data analysis (bulk and single-cell data) and bioinformatics;
- You possess excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken;
- You are an enthusiastic team player with positive social skills;
- Experience with bioinformatics (e.g., in R/Python) is a plus;
- An art.9 or equivalent FELASA diploma is a plus.

**Our offer**:

- A flying start to your career in scientific research.
- Plenty of room for your drive to shape tomorrow's healthcare.
- Working on large-scale and in-house research, with motivated colleagues from all over the world.
- You will be employed by Amsterdam UMC Research BV.
- Salary scale OIO: In the first year this is € 3.017 increasing to € 3.824 in the fourth year gross based on full-time employment and a year-end bonus of 8.3%. Calculate your net salary here.
- Holiday hours: 186,4 per year for fulltime and a possibility to save additional hours.
- Pension accrual with BeFrank, a modern, comprehensible and fairly priced pension.
- For >7 km each way, 100% reimbursement for public transport travel costs and, for private transport, €0.18 per km up to a maximum of 40 km each way.
