We seek an outstanding candidate with an excellent track record in cellular models of human brain disease (iPS cells, organoids) and associated state-of-the-art molecular (e.g. genome editing) and neurophysiological techniques (e.g. calcium imaging, patch-clamping, multiple-electrode arrays). The candidate should have an interest in neuron-glia interactions, development and function of brain circuits, and brain diseases.
We offer a 5-year tenure track position in a vibrant, multidisciplinary environment with excellent facilities for fundamental neurobiological research and synergetic interactions with clinical research. Depending on performance, the tenure track can evolve in a permanent position.
We expect that the candidate:
Candidates should provide the following information in a single PDF file: a cover letter explaining their motivation to join the Department of Translation Neuroscience, a CV, a research statement and a teaching statement (3 pages max each; past performance, future plans (5 years), and fit with the Department), and contacts of three references. Applications and queries should be sent to the search committee before March 1, 2022.
We believe in the power of a diverse team in which there is room for different skills, expertise, and social and cultural backgrounds. We invite you to respond to this vacancy.

In addition, we offer an annual benefit of 8.3%, holiday allowance, travel expenses and career opportunities. The terms of employment are in accordance with the Cao University Medical Centers (UMC).
The UMC Utrecht Brain Center is an internationally recognized research institute with an outstanding track record in fundamental and clinical neuroscience research. The research in the Department of Translational Neuroscience is focused on how the brain develops and functions at the molecular, cellular, and circuits levels, and on how deregulation of these processes leads to neurological and psychiatric disorders. The Department is a hub for multidisciplinary and collaborative research on neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.
