PhD Student in Cellular Neuroscience

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research group at VU Amsterdam. The successful candidate will be working on a project investigating the dynamics of organelles and mRNAs in neurons using novel genetic and imaging tools.

Responsibilities:
  • Investigate and control the dynamics of organelles and mRNAs using live-cell and super-resolution imaging in cultured rodent neurons and human iPSC-derived neurons
  • Perform proximity proteomics to identify novel proteins involved in organelle-mRNA interactions
  • Publishing analyses in peer-reviewed journals and providing progress reports to funding sources
  • Contributing to teaching activities (~10% of your time), including supervision of BSc and/or MSc students during internships
  • Presenting your work to the international research community
Requirements:
  • A Master degree in life sciences, biomedical sciences, or biophysics with neuroscience specialization
  • Hands-on experience with molecular and cellular neuroscience, especially the methods and/or models listed above
  • Hands-on experience with imaging and/or bioinformatics is an advantage
  • Fluency in English (written and spoken) and good communication skills
What We Offer:
  • A challenging position in a socially engaged organisation
  • A salary of € 2,000 (PhD) and maximum € 3,000 (PhD) gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment
  • An employment contract of initially 1 year. If there is sufficient perspective, this will be extended to a total of 4 years
