**Assistant professor “Inflammation pathways in atherosclerosis”**

Come join the cardiovascular research group at the LACDR The Division of BioTherapeutics at the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) is looking for a highly motivated assistant professor (on a 50/50 teaching/research basis) to strengthen our atherosclerosis education and research program.

**Description**
At the division of BioTherapeutics, the cardiovascular research team investigates mechanisms driving atherosclerosis, the underlying pathology of many cardiovascular disease. We focus on the chronic inflammatory component of the disease, involving both innate immunity (e.g. macrophages, mast cells) as well as adaptive immunity (T- and B cells). Using state-of-the-art technology such as single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics in both human and experimental models of disease, we aim to discover novel pathways and cellular or molecular targets for future therapeutic interventions. Explored therapeutic strategies to combat atherosclerosis include the use of monoclonal antibodies, small molecules, cellular therapy, and vaccination. This team, consisting of three PI groups, operates at the forefront of experimental cardiovascular research.
In the BSc and MSc programmes of Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences, the cardiovascular team provides education in the field of atherosclerosis and immunology, as well as practical and theoretical research projects for both BSc and MSc students.

As our team is expanding, we are looking for an assistant professor who will contribute to our teaching and research programs.

**Key responsibilities**
- provide education in the BSc and MSc program Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences, with the emphasis on education in the area of immunology and cardiovascular diseases.

- co-supervise and train PhD students in the cardiovascular research group of the BioTherapeutics division.

**Selection criteria**
- We are looking for a highly enthusiastic, bright, well-motivated, and experienced colleague with a background in atherosclerosis research.
- have a PhD degree, preferably in the field of atherosclerosis and with a background in immunology.
- have experience with training students at an undergraduate and (preferably) graduate level.
- have a clear vision on teaching, as well as innovation of teaching, in an academic environment.
- have academic experience at the postdoctoral level, preferably in the atherosclerosis field.
- be highly engaged, curious and a team player.
