FUNCTIE

The Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics group of Utrecht University is seeking outstanding applicants for a tenure track faculty position to broaden its research focus. We encourage applications from Researchers who are motivated to build an independent research line combining technology and/or methodology development with a clearly defined biological focus. We envision this focus to fit with the research lines in the research group, such as examining the importance of post-translational modifications such as lipidation, phosphorylation or glycosylation, and its regulating role in immunology, neurobiology, and tumor biology. As an Assistant Professor your methodological developments are complementary to current efforts in the group. You especially seek to develop novel methods for sample preparation and analysis, for example nanopore based protein sequencing or single cell proteomics.

You have the ability and drive to actively seek funding for new research projects through personal, national, European and other international grant opportunities and supervise research projects of Postdoctoral Researchers, PhD candidates and MSc students. In addition, you are passionate about actively participating in teaching activities at both the BSc and MSc level.

PROFIEL

To excel in this role, you have a PhD degree, at least two years of postdoctoral research experience and a strong track record in research accomplishments.

You also draw on:

  • your vision and ambition to build an independent research line;
  • your enthusiasm for academic teaching, and the potential to coach and guide PhD candidates and students;
  • a Basic Teaching Qualification or willingness to obtain this;
  • an excellent English language proficiency. We require a qualification English at C1 level (CEFR or comparable to level 3 of the lecturer Assessment Grid) or you are prepared to obtain this level by training;
  • your inquisitive and collaborative personality.

We strongly welcome women to apply.

AANBOD

  • a full-time tenure track position for the duration of five years which will be subject to a mid-term evaluation after approximately 2,5 years and an end-term evaluation. When evaluations are positive after 5 years, the position becomes permanent;
  • full-time gross salary - depending on previous qualifications and experience - ranging between €3,637 and €5,656 (scale 11/12 at the level of Assistant Professor (universitair docent) according to the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities) per month;
  • an inspiring work environment with an outstanding research infrastructure and dedicated and accomplished colleagues.

In addition, Utrecht University offers excellent secondary employment conditions, including an attractive retirement scheme, (partly paid) parental leave and flexible employment conditions. More information about working at Utrecht University can be found here.

OVER DE ORGANISATIE

The Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics group develops and implements innovative mass spectrometric methods for the more efficient and detailed characterization of peptides, proteins and metabolites in relation to their biological function. A large emphasis is on the structural characterization of proteins and their post-translational modifications as well as the investigation of protein complexes and protein interactions. In short, the group applies biomolecular mass spectrometry to problems in proteomics, metabolomics, cell biology and in structural biology. This means research covers many facets of cellular biology. We are interested in answering questions related to understanding as well as influencing proteins and their interactions, and how they function in regulating development, infection, but also immunological- and neurological disorders and cancer.

We work on a better future. In order to do that, we join forces with academics, students, alumni, social partners, the government and the corporate world. Together, we look for sustainable solutions to the big challenges of today and tomorrow.
