PhD in Biochemistry – Biotechnology, Hasselt University, Belgium

The Faculty of Sciences, capacity group Chemistry, research institute Institute for Materials Research, research group Organic and Bio-polymer Chemistry of Hasselt University seeks a (m/f)

PhD student biochemistry – biotechnology (1)

The candidate will perform research in the frame of a PhD project on the site specific modification of proteins for covalent coupling onto functionalised supports. In the Biomolecule Design Group (Organic and bio-polymer chemistry) of the Institute for Materials Research, in vivo as well as in vitro strategies are being explored to this end. The research is situated in the core competence ‘biosensors’ of the Institute for Materials Research, aiming for improved sensor concepts to enable the detection of small quantities of target molecules (e.g. biomarkers, pathogens, drugs) and this in a reproducible and quantitative manner.

Besides this research, the candidate is also expected to participate in educational tasks of the chemistry department as well as in the assistance of bachelor and master internships.

Profile

• Because of the mutlidisciplinary character of the research, a great interest in life- and materials science is recommended;
• the candidate is motivated, independent and has a broad interest in research;
• a good command of the English and Flemish language and willingness to perform research in a team-oriented international research environment are recommended;
• can work well in team;
• good relational, communicative and reporting skills.

PhD Student in Neurogenesis, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Faculty of Science occupies a leading position internationally in its fields of research and participates in a large number of cooperative programmes with universities, research institutes and businesses. The faculty has a student body of around 3,000 and 1,500 members of staff, spread over eight research institutes and a number of faculty-wide support services. A considerable part of the research is made possible by external funding from Dutch and international organisations and the private sector. The Faculty of Science offers thirteen Bachelor’s degree programmes and eighteen Master’s degree programmes in the fields of the exact sciences, computer science and information studies, and life and earth sciences.

Since September 2010, the whole faculty has been housed in a brand new building at the Science Park in Amsterdam. The installment of the faculty has made the Science Park one of the largest centres of academic research in the Netherlands.

The Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) is one of the Faculty’s largest institutes. Its approximately 200 scientists and staff members work in 13 research groups that perform excellent research centered on four themes: 1) The Living Cell, 2) Plant Signaling, 3) Neuroscience, and 4) Life Science Technologies.

The candidate will carry out a research project concentrating on the regulation of adult neurogenesis by hormones and microRNAs in animal models of epilepsy.
