PhD Position at Utrecht University – Apply Now & Work in Proteomics
Are you passionate about chemical biology, molecular science, and groundbreaking research in human health? This exciting PhD position in proteomics at Utrecht University offers a unique opportunity to study the biology of protein lipidation, a critical posttranslational modification involved in (neuro)inflammation. Join a world-class research lab, develop cutting-edge mass spectrometry techniques, and help uncover the molecular mechanisms behind disease processes—while growing into an independent scientist.
Job Posting: PhD Position on Proteomics
Your Responsibilities
Protein lipidation involves the attachment of lipids to proteins to regulate various biological processes. The PhD candidate will investigate the role and regulation of protein lipidation in (neuro)inflammation using (primary) cells and tissues. The goal is to advance the understanding of how these modifications impact proteins involved in (neuro)inflammatory disorders.
Available Positions
- PhD position 1: Focus on the biology and regulation of protein lipidation.
- PhD position 2: Concentrate on developing mass spectrometry proteomics strategies.
Your Qualifications
- Master’s degree in (Chemical/molecular) Biology or related field.
- Experience in molecular biology, cell culturing techniques, and proteomics mass-spectrometry (desired but not essential).
- Strong English writing and presentation skills.
- Ability to work well independently and in a collaborative, multidisciplinary setting.
What We Offer
- A 4-year position in an international multidisciplinary lab at Utrecht University.
- Gross monthly salary between €2,901 and €3,707, with additional benefits such as holiday pay, year-end bonus, pension scheme, and more.
Apply for this exciting opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research in protein lipidation and (neuro)inflammation. Join our world-leading lab and grow into an independent scientist with expertise in proteomics and chemical biology.
