PhD Positions in Protein Quality for Health

Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd
About the Job

We are seeking highly motivated and talented researchers to join our team at Universiteit Utrecht as PhD positions in the field of protein quality for health. The successful candidates will be part of the FLOW consortium, a network of Dutch research groups in protein folding, aggregation, and degradation.

The FLOW consortium aims to uncover the molecular principles of how the cellular protein quality-control network modulates the fate of proteins from cradle to grave. Our research focuses on the molecular chaperones and the degradation machinery that determine the fate of proteins, and how failure to do so leads to diseases such as neurodegeneration or cystic fibrosis.

About the Project

The FLOW consortium is a unique and highly interdisciplinary team that combines biochemical, biophysical, cell biological, computational, and genetic methods to study protein folding and degradation. We are looking for researchers who are passionate about understanding the molecular mechanisms of protein quality control and who are eager to contribute to our research goals.

About the Team

The FLOW consortium consists of 14 group leaders spread across 5 different cities in the Netherlands. Our team is diverse and inclusive, with a wide range of expertise and a strong commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in research.

What We Offer

We offer a fully funded position for four years, a working week of 38 hours, and a gross monthly salary ranging between €2,770 in the first year to €3,539 in the fourth year. We also offer 8% holiday pay, 8.3% year-end bonus, a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave, and flexible terms of employment.

How to Apply

To apply, please send your CV, cover letter, and any additional documents to flow@uu.nl in a single PDF file. We will evaluate applications within 5 working days, and the first round of interviews will be online through Microsoft Teams.
