Job opportunities in the Systems Biology Centre for Metabolism and Ageing

http://www.rug.nl/fmns-research/SystemsBiology/JobOpportunities

We are recruiting 14 PhD students/postdocs from various disciplines relevant for Systems Biology, including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, statistics, mathematics and theoretical biology.

Scientific excellence and enthusiasm will be the most important criteria for selection. Previous experience in Systems Biology or in research related to metabolism and/or ageing research is advantageous but not required.

Each of the 14 positions will be filled by either a postdoc or a PhD student. Postdoc positions will be for 3 years, PhD positions for 4 years. The conditions of employment comply with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Medical Centres / Dutch Universities. Successful applicants will be linked to specific projects, based on their own interests and the needs of the Centre.

Applications will be collected centrally. Applications, integrated in one pdf file, should consist of:

•a motivation letter, clearly stating how the prior expertise fits to the research program of the centre and also indicating a preference for one or more of the available projects;
•an extensive CV;
•two reference letters.
