Postdoc Translational Palliative Care

**Postdoc: Discovering CAR T cell biophysics with single-molecule TIRF microscopy**: **Work Activities**: Notably, a complex spatio-temporal dynamics is thought to be central to CAR T cell activation, but is difficult to measure and hence remains poorly understood. That the activation relies on the movement and association of many receptors and accesory...

**Work Activities**: Notably, a complex spatio-temporal dynamics is thought to be central to CAR T cell activation, but is difficult to measure and hence remains poorly understood. That the activation relies on the movement and association of many receptors and accesory proteins in an orchestrated manner is a fascinating notion. By addressing this question...

**Your function**: We offer an exciting postdoc position in an interdisciplinary research project on the health impacts of extreme weather events. Extreme weather events effect several aspects of human life. One critical area of concern is human health. As climate change increases the frequency of many extreme events, understanding the mechanisms behind...

**Jouw functie**: **Job description** Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form one of the most widespread terrestrial symbiosis on earth with the roots of host plants, known broadly as the mycorrhizal symbiosis. AMF can connect with one another and with multiple plants, forming large underground common mycorrhizal networks where carbon and nutrients are...

**Your function**: **Your duties** - you conduct research on stakeholder perceptions about the issues to be addressed and measures to be taken within the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems nexus - you organise dialogues and workshops with stakeholders in the region - you publish research results in international peer-reviewed journals and impact oriented...

**Your function**: **Project description** Antibiotic resistance is a major and ever-increasing health threat, projecting to result in 10 million deaths annually by 2050. An often-overlooked cause for this resistance is the fact that many antibacterial agents are unable to effectively target intracellular bacteria. Hidden inside their host cells, these...

**Your function**: **Your duties** - you will organise farmer need assessment - you will conduct ecosystem services mapping in at least two countries - you will develop a Virtual Reality game on salinity and biodiversity - you will create future scenarios taking into account project outcomes and needs of policy makers and impact investors - you will assist...

**Postdoc: The real-time dynamics of single ribosomes**: **Work Activities**: **Questions -** According to textbooks, ribosomes work individually to produce proteins. However, recent insights from our lab and others show multiple ribosomes cooperate as they translate mRNA. This cooperation may well be essential to produce multi-protein complexes faithfully....

**About the project**: At the Laboratory of Experimental Virology (Department of Medical Microbiology, Amsterdam UMC), both basic and translational HIV research is performed. Basic research focuses on several steps in the viral replication cycle, such as regulation of viral gene expression and HIV RNA processing, as well as on dissection of the biology of...

**Your function**: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing morbidity, mortality, and health-care expenditures worldwide. The (semi-)natural aquatic environment functions as an important reservoir and dissemination route of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), where bacteria carrying these ARGs can proliferate in the presence of antibiotic residues and...

**Your function**: Serial Crystallography (SX) is an emerging method that allows visualizing the macromolecule interaction with light. SX is a so-called “pump-probe” experiment, where a short UV-Visible light laser pulse excites the chromophores in the molecule while an X-ray pulse is used to probe the newly formed state at a certain delay after light...

**Your function**: The project aims to determine the plasticity of the predictive mind using meditation. It starts from the notion that our brain is fundamentally an organ of prediction, continuously predicting or constructing a view of the world based on past experiences and statistical regularities in the environment in service of (future) action. It...

**Your function**: The project aims to investigate emotion-induced bodily and neurophysiological biomarkers using a multi-modal approach that integrates psychometric, physiological, and postural data. It includes the analysis of neurophysiological responses (e.g., EEG, electrodermal activity) alongside postural recordings derived from force plate...
