Phd Candidate Junior Researcher 'spatiotemporal Properties of Neuronal Metabolofunction Using Novel On-chip Technology'
4 dagen geleden
The position will become available in the first quarter of 2025 (1.0 fulltime equivalent; 4.0 years) and will lead to a PhD thesis.
Neuronal cells in the brain are organized in physically connected functional networks. Proper functioning of these networks requires coupling in time and space of neuronal electrical activity, energy metabolism and redox homeostasis. Currently, a deep understanding of this coupling in human neurological disorders (e.g. mitochondrial metabolic syndromes) and aging-related neurodegeneration (e.g. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease) is lacking. This severely hampers the rational development of intervention strategies for these diseases. One of the main reasons preventing progress is the lack of integrated technologies for simultaneous spatiotemporal assessment of neuronal metabolism and function (“metabolofunction”).
NeurO2ChipH will be carried out in a collaboration between 3 academic institutions (Wageningen University, the University of Twente and the Radboud University Medical Center) and 3 corporate partners. Neurons will be obtained using state-of-the-art cell reprogramming strategies, from patients with mitochondrial disease and mice with disturbed redox homeostasis.
**In summary, NeurO2ChipH represents an innovative technology for integrated analysis of neuronal metabolofunction, applicable in basic science and intervention screening, with the potential to replace animal experiments in research.** At Radboud university medical center, you build on your future. We are committed to providing the best care, education, and research. And we are true to our word, because we help you develop and seize opportunities and give you the room to grow. As an employer, we believe that employees should feel vital and happy at work in all stages of life. We are also committed to creating a healthy and safe working environment. Our employment conditions contribute to that. What we offer:
- The salary depends on education. Scale 10 will be offered to MSc medical graduates; a gross monthly salary between €3.493 and € 5.504 (full-time). Those holding degrees in other disciplines will be offered scale 10A: upon commencement of employment, you will start at scale 10A, step 0 (€ 3.017 full-time). Over a maximum period of 4 years, you will progress to scale 10A, step 3 (€3.824 full-time). You will also receive an 8% holiday allowance, an 8.3% end-of-year bonus, and a 47% to 72% bonus for working unsocial hours.
- 176 vacation hours per year based on a 36-hour working week.
The project will be carried out at the Departments of Paediatrics and Human Genetics of the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen (Radboudumc), The Netherlands.
Each year, we treat approximately 24,000 children aged 0 to 18 at the Amalia Children's Hospital in Nijmegen. This represents 16% of all patients at Radboudumc. As an academic medical center, we integrate research, education, and care. We provide comprehensive care organized around the child and their family, actively involving children and parents in the care process. Our focus is on congenital disorders, (complex) tertiary care, trauma care, and maternity care.
More than a thousand employees work at the Amalia Children's Hospital. Our dedicated and passionate staff are crucial in achieving our goal of providing the best care for the patient and their family. Working at the Amalia Children's Hospital means working in an innovative and person-centered environment, where you can push boundaries and bring out the best in yourself as a professional. Take a look at our movie about the Amalia Children's Hospital.
The center management at the Amalia Children's Hospital is integrally responsible for the hospital. The management consists of three members: the business director, the medical director, and the nursing director.
