Are you an ambitious researcher who enjoys collaborating with other lab members? Do you want to put your computational knowledge to good use? Then this may be the job for you! Come and join the Vermeulen research group as a postdoctoral researcher on this NWO-VICI project.

We are looking for an ambitious computational postdoctoral researcher with ample experience in analysing ‘omics’ datasets. Experience in analysing large-scale epitranscriptomics (i.e. PAR-CLIP, transcriptome-wide RNA modification maps) and/or proteomics datasets is a plus but not strictly required. As a computational postdoctoral researcher you will particulate in an NWO-VICI project dedicated to deciphering the role of mRNA modifications and their ‘readers’ in (perturbed) blood cell differentiation. You will also collaborate with other lab members in ongoing interaction proteomics-based and multi-omics projects. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to develop novel ideas and work on additional independent projects that are aligned with this research theme.

Profile

• You have a PhD in computational biology.
• You have excellent communication and writing skills (in English).
• You have strong analytical skills and a result-oriented attitude.
• You are a creative thinker and highly independent.
• Experience with analysing epitranscriptomics, genomics and proteomics datasets (i.e. PAR-CLIP, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, etc.) is an advantage but not strictly required.

We are

The RIMLS-Science Institute at Radboud University is a leading research institute that integrates state-of-the-art multi-omics technologies to uncover the molecular basis of development and cellular differentiation in health and disease. Michiel Vermeulen’s lab at the RIMLS-Science Institute consists of about 15 researchers and provides a vivid, international research environment. Our extensive collaborative network (i.e. the Oncode Institute) also provides ample opportunities for networking and joint research activities both within the Netherlands and abroad.

Radboud University

At Radboud University, we aim to make an impact through our work. We achieve this by conducting groundbreaking research, providing high-quality education, offering excellent support, and fostering collaborations within and outside the university. In doing so, we contribute indispensably to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. To accomplish this, we need even more colleagues who, based on their expertise, are willing to search for answers.

Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science (FNWI), part of Radboud University, engages in groundbreaking research and excellent education. In doing so, we push the boundaries of scientific knowledge and pass that knowledge on to the next generation.

We seek solutions to major societal challenges, such as cybercrime and climate change and work on major scientific challenges, such as those in the quantum world. At the same time, we prepare our students for careers both within and outside the scientific field.

Currently, more than 1,300 colleagues contribute to research and education, some as researchers and lecturers, others as technical and administrative support officers. The faculty has a strong international character with staff from more than 70 countries. Together, we work in an informal, accessible and welcoming environment, with attention and space for personal and professional development for all.

We offer

• We will give you a temporary employment contract of 2 years.
• Your salary within salary scale 10 depends on your previous education and number of years of (relevant) work experience. The amounts in the scale are based on a 38-hour working week.
• You will receive an 8% holiday allowance and an 8,3% end-of-year bonus. 
• You will receive extra days off. With full-time employment, you can choose between 30 or 41 days of annual leave instead of the statutory 20. 

Additional employment conditions

Work and science require good employment practices. Radboud University’s primary and secondary employment conditions reflect this. You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself. For example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports membership. In addition, you receive a 34% discount on the sports and cultural activities at Radboud University as an employee. And, of course, we offer a good pension plan. We also give you plenty of room and responsibility to develop your talents and realise your ambitions. Therefore, we provide various training and development schemes.
