Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Hubrecht Institute Voltijd

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate with a strong background in developmental biology or cell biology to join our dynamic team exploring the earliest stages of life.

The heart is the first organ to function in the embryo, and its correct formation is vital for life. Our lab studies cardiac development in zebrafish, using cutting-edge techniques such as live imaging, genetic screening, and single-cell transcriptomics.

In this project, we will investigate heart looping morphogenesis and its relationship to embryonic patterning, with a special focus on the formation of the left-right axis. The successful candidate will contribute to unraveling the genetic networks driving the asymmetric looping of the heart.

To succeed in this role, you should hold a Master's degree and possess excellent communication skills in English. A collaborative mindset and the desire to work in an international, diverse team are essential.

We offer a competitive salary, ranging from € 2,872,- to € 3,670,- gross per month for a full-time appointment. Additional benefits include vacation allowance, year-end bonus, travel allowance, internet allowance, home working allowance, and pension accrual with ABP.

The Hubrecht Institute is a research institute focusing on developmental and stem cell biology, affiliated with the University Medical Center Utrecht. We strive for an inclusive culture, embracing differences and promoting individual quality. As a researcher at the Hubrecht Institute, you will have opportunities to develop your scientific career while contributing to groundbreaking advances in understanding human health and disease.

The research group led by Dr. Bakkers has an established track record in cardiac development and aims to make exciting discoveries in this field. If you are passionate about developmental biology and ready to take your research to the next level, we encourage you to apply.
