PhD Student in Biophysics of Immune Cell Forces & Imaging

AcademicTransfer; Países Baixos; Presencial; EUR 33 000 - 39 000; Tempo parcial

Resumo da oferta

University Medical Center Utrecht invites a motivated First Stage Researcher (R1) to join the Vorselen Lab. You will develop new analysis pipelines and apply quantitative image analysis to study immune cell biophysics.

The project combines immune assays with high-resolution fluorescence imaging to measure cellular forces during phagocytosis and by cytotoxic T cells, with an expected 25% experimental and 75% analytical emphasis.

Qualificações

• Master's degree in biophysics, bionanoscience, bioinformatics, or life sciences with quantitative skills.
• Experience with programming and image analysis; ability to build new image analysis pipelines.
• Hands-on wet lab experience including cell culture and fluorescent imaging.
• Meticulous, proactive, and flexible working style with a strong sense of responsibility.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills; ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Responsabilidades

• Develop analysis pipelines to enable high-throughput analysis of cellular forces during phagocytosis and cytotoxic T cell activity.
• Conduct experiments combining immune assays with high-resolution fluorescence imaging to obtain the required data.
• Balance of experiments (25%) and data analysis (75%).
