Are you a team-oriented PhD candidate with an interest in molecular biology and large datasets? And would you like to learn and work in a multidisciplinary team in an innovative laboratory environment? Then, come and join the lively and world-class RIMLS-Science Institute and work towards understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying innate immunity.

Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all blood cell types, including myeloid granulocytes and phagocytes. These play roles in immunity as workhorses for inflammation and its resolution. We are looking for a PhD Candidate who is eager to participate in our team and to study how glucocorticoids regulate myeloid cell behaviour, focusing, on granulocytes. State-of-the-art induced pluripotent stem cells and techniques such as CRISPR gene editing, ATAC-, ChIP-, RNA-seq, quantitative mass spec and novel bioinformatics approaches will be used to gain a better insight into myeloid cell based anti-inflammatory signalling to identify new therapeutic targets for unwanted glucocorticoid side effects in the context of autoimmune/immune conditions and cancer. As a member of the Department of Molecular Biology, you will enter our four-year PhD programme at Radboud University. Your teaching load may be up to 10% of your working time.

Profile

• You have a Master's degree in molecular or cellular biology, biomedical sciences, molecular life sciences or a related field.
• You have experience in one or more of the following areas: molecular biology and cell biology techniques, cell purification, interpretation of mass-spectrometry data, next-generation sequencing data, single-cell approaches, and gene regulation.
• You have experience in computational analysis.

This project will be executed at the Department of Molecular Biology. Research conducted by Colin Logie currently focuses on the molecular mechanisms that underlie glucocorticoid action in myeloid lineage white blood cells.

The department of Molecular Biology is part of the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS-Science), which is one of the six research institutes of the Faculty of Science at Radboud University. The overarching aim of RIMLS-Science is to decipher molecular mechanisms of disease. Research areas of RIMLS-Science include epigenetics, stem-cell and developmental biology, and computational biology. The central research theme is regulation of gene expression during development and in health and disease. Essential tools used at the institute include next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, single-cell (multi-omics) analysis and computational analysis and method development. To perform state-of-the-art research, RIMLS-Science operates its own wet-lab and computational facilities. This fundamental and applied research in medical biology and molecular life sciences has clear links to biochemical research performed at the Institute for Molecules and Materials and other institutes of the Faculty of Science as well as to more clinically oriented research programmes at departments within the Radboud university medical center. RIMLS-Science actively contributes to teaching activities in the Biology study programme at Radboud University. RIMLS-Science currently has about 50 researchers (including 30 PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers) and provides a vibrant and international working environment.

Information about the Faculty of Fine Arts With over 4,000 students, faculty, and staff, the Faculty of Fine Arts is among the five largest art and design schools in North America. Nestled in the heart of a pulsing city, embraced by a dynamic research university, the Faculty of Fine Arts benefits from extraordinary access to brilliant practitioners, thriving venues, cross-cultural perspectives, and an extensive network of outstanding facilities for research and production.

Taking advantage of our place within the rich fabric of a research university and our long history as one of the premiere sites in Canada for the study and creation of the arts and arts-based scholarship, the Faculty of Fine Arts is currently engaged in a transformative moment in which pedagogical, conceptual, theoretical, and material practices find resonance with a significant diversity of approaches. In our university community we value equally those practices that embrace aesthetic activism, live performance, historical scholarship, technical experimentation, skills-based production, community fieldwork and education, and therapeutic practices, as well as traditional and digital fabrication. In addition to curricular advances, the formation of significant research centres and external partnerships in the Faculty of Fine Arts continue to enrich opportunities for faculty and students alike. The Faculty is also home to a number of research groups led by faculty members who are Black, Indigenous and people of colour and disabled, and centred on their concerns.
