PhD positions

PhD in Chemical biology aimed at a new treatment strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukmia (AML) 

We have a position as a PhD student to work on the interface of Organic Chemistry and Cell biology on development of a new treatment strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The ideal candidate for this project is an experimental scientist with experience in laboratory techniques that are relevant at the interface of chemistry and biology. The project is mainly focused in the cell biology experiments to characterize the cellular action of novel molecular entities that are either synthesized by the candidate or by other members of the team. Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD study to work in the research group of Prof. Frank J. Dekker, at the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy (GRIP).

Your profile includes:

• a Master degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical sciences, Chemical Biology or Cell biology
• proven ability to work in an experimental laboratory environment.
• a genuine scientific interest.
• academic English language skills
• ability to work in a team
• ability to learn new techniques

The vacancy will be opened as soon as possible. The intended starting date is before the 1st March 2022.
