About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research team at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will be working on a fully-funded 4-year PhD position in metabolomics and fermentation research.

The project focuses on developing metabolomics workflows to study the metabolic changes observed through fermentation of plant substrates. The candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing LC-MS and NMR-based metabolomics methods, as well as cultivating microbial cultures to study metabolism of plant substrates.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in biochemistry, analytical chemistry, or a related discipline, and previous experience in handling HPLC, MS or NMR techniques is considered an asset. Strong communication, organizational and social skills are also essential for this position.

We offer a challenging position in a socially engaged organization, with a salary of € 2.872,00 (PhD) and maximum € 3.670,00 (PhD) gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment. The employment contract is initially 1 year, with the possibility of extension to a total of 4 years.

About the Department

The Department of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPS) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is a dynamic and interdisciplinary department that aims to inspire through imagination and vision. We believe that challenging existing theories contributes to a better world, and we push the boundaries of our knowledge in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences to pass it on to future generations.

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam stands for values-driven education and research, and we are open-minded experts with the ability to think freely - a broader mind. We maintain an entrepreneurial perspective and concentrate on diversity, significance and humanity, working on sustainable solutions with social impact.

What We Offer

We offer a full-time 38-hour working week with a holiday leave entitlement of 232 hours per year, as well as an 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus. We also offer a solid pension scheme (ABP) and contribution to commuting expenses.

We are located on one physical campus, in the heart of Amsterdam's Zuidas business district, with excellent location and accessibility. Over 6,150 staff work at the VU and over 31,000 students attend academic education.
