Phd Position in Developmental Biology
2 weken geleden
**Your job**:
Cell polarity - the asymmetric distribution of components and functions within a cell along a directional axis - is a fundamental property of cells that is present across the kingdoms of life. Most cells need to distribute proteins, organelles, and functions along an axis of polarity in order to carry out their specialised functions and organise the 3D multicellular body.
The aim of this project is to identify and characterise novel components involved in the polarisation and specialisation of the apical surface of intestinal epithelial cells. Objectives of the project include:
- identifying components of the terminal web and brushing border in elegans using proximity labelling proteomics with baits localised at the microvilli tip, core or base, and the terminal web;
**Your qualities**:
We are looking for a colleague with the following qualifications:
- a Master's degree (or equivalent) in Biology;
- a strong background in at least one but preferentially two of the following areas: Developmental Biology, Cell Biology, or Molecular Biology;
- a strong interest in performing _in vivo_ studies in _elegans;_
- proficiency in academic English.
To qualify for this position you cannot have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the 36 months preceding the recruitment date.
**Our offer**:
We offer:
- the opportunity to participate in the education programme of the Graduate School of Life Sciences and in the Marie Curie PhD training network (SurfEx);
- a position for four years (1.0 FTE);
- a gross monthly salary between €2,770 and €3,539 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT products. We also offer access to additional employee benefits through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage our employees to continue to invest in their growth. For more information, please visit Working at Utrecht University.
**About us**:
A better future for everyone. This ambition motivates our scientists in executing their leading research and inspiring teaching. At Utrecht University, the various disciplines collaborate intensively towards major strategic themes. Our focus is on Dynamics of Youth, Institutions for Open Societies, Life Sciences and Pathways to Sustainability. Sharing science, shaping tomorrow.
At the Faculty of Science there are 6 departments to make a fundamental connection with: Biology, Chemistry, Information and Computing Sciences, Mathematics, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Physics. Each of these is made up of distinct institutes that work together to focus on answering some of humanity’s most pressing challenges. More fundamental still are the individual research groups - the building blocks of our ambitious scientific projects.
You will work in the group of Professor Mike Boxem in the Developmental Biology division (Department of Biology). The Boxem group works closely together with the groups of Professor Sander van den Heuvel, Dr Suzan Ruijtenberg, and Dr Martin Harterink, who also primarily use _C. elegans_ as a model system. You will therefore be part of an interdisciplinary and dynamic team of researchers that share many common interests and approaches.
**More information**:
As Utrecht University, we want to be a home for everyone. We value staff with diverse backgrounds, perspectives and identities, including cultural, religious or ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age. We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment in which everyone can flourish and contribute.
- a curriculum vitae, including full personal and academic details;
- a motivation letter outlining your interest in the position and your suitability, including your research experience, research skills and research interests (max. 2 pages);
- academic transcripts;
- the names and contact details of two academic referees.
If this specific opportunity isn’t what you are looking for but you know someone else who may be interested, please forward this vacancy to them.
