Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen Voltijd
Overview of the Project

The aim of this project is to investigate the mechanisms and effects of Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) on the immune system and intestinal epithelium. HMOs have various benefits in human physiology, from prebiotics to inhibitors of pathogen adherence and protection. However, the exact cellular pathways or mechanisms through which HMOs exert these effects are not yet known.

We will test different HMOs on intestinal organoids (mini-organs in a dish) to determine the affected intestinal cell types and their biological mode of action. This research has the potential to contribute significantly to our understanding of the role of HMOs in human health and disease.

Job Description

This postdoctoral position is available at the Hubrecht Institute, a research institute focusing on developmental and stem cell biology. The successful candidate will be part of an international team and work closely with researchers from Radboud UMC, Radboud University, Friesland Campina, and other collaborating institutions. The working language is English, and the candidate should have excellent communication skills.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in molecular- and cell biology, experience with culturing Organoids, and proficiency in molecular biology techniques. An independent attitude to problem-solving, ability to work independently, and good teamwork skills are also essential for this position.

Salary and Benefits

The minimum salary for this position is €3,345 per month, and the maximum salary is €5,278 gross per month for a full-time appointment. In addition to the salary, we offer an 8% vacation allowance, 8.3% year-end bonus, travel allowance, internet allowance, home working allowance, and pension accrual with ABP. The KNAW offers its staff an excellent package of secondary benefits, including a range of options for flexible working hours and additional days off.
