Phd-student in Glial Drug Development
5 maanden geleden
**About the project**:
In recent years it has become increasingly clear that dysfunctional glia (astrocytes and microglia) play a major role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. In specific, lipid droplets haven been shown to accumulate in the Alzheimer’s disease brain, where they inhibit proper immune activation of astrocytes and microglia. In our lab we have established an iPSC-multiomics pipeline that has provided valuable new insights into the molecular pathways underlying lipid
**About the role**:
**Profile**:
- A master degree in biomedical sciences or biology;
- Experience with iPSC models and/or extensive cell culture experience with other cell types;
- Hands-on experience with CRISPR or assay development is an advantage, but not required;
- Excellent organizational and communication skills;
- A strong motivation to pursue a career in academia.
**Our offer**:
- Salary scale in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement for University Medical Centers.
- A flying start to your career in scientific research.
- Plenty of room for personal development with a wide range of training & development of academic skills
- Working on large-scale and own research, with motivated colleagues
- A pleasant, informal atmosphere with plenty of room for humour, music and table football
- A contract for 12 months with the prospect of extension for the duration of the PhD program.
- Classification in salary scale OIO: € 3,017 to € 3,824 gross for full-time employment (depending on education and experience).
- In addition to a good basic salary, we offer 8.3% year-end bonus and 8% holiday allowance.
- Your pension is accrued at ABP. VUmc contributes 2/3 of this premium.
**About the workplace**:
The research will be conducted at the Amsterdam Alzheimer Center, an (inter)national leading center in the field of top clinical care and high-quality scientific research into dementia. The Alzheimer Center Amsterdam is a stimulating workplace with more than 100 employees where an informal atmosphere goes hand in hand with ambitions and attention to personal development.
**Let's meet**:
A reference check, screening and hiring test may be part of the procedure. Read here whether that applies to you. If you join us, we ask you for a VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct).
