Your function within the department

The Computational Cancer Biology group focuses on gaining a better understanding of the process of tumorigenesis and response to treatment, with the ultimate aim of improving cancer patient treatment. We work towards these goals by developing computational approaches for the efficient analysis and interpretation of various data types acquired in the setting of collaborative cancer research.
 
We have recently established several novel lines of investigation which require experimental capabilities within our own group. As such, we are putting together an experimental team to independently generate data for new computational models, follow up on hypotheses generated through computational approaches, as well as help develop new experimental methodologies that will allow us to characterize cancer cell response in higher throughput and/or more detail.
 
You will have the opportunity to hone or learn a number of techniques already well established in the Molecular Carcinogenesis Division, including, but not limited to, in vitro drug response measurements, high-throughput readouts of intracellular signaling as well as functional genomic screening in cancer cells. In addition, we are also developing new techniques for single cell perturbation and measurement that you will be involved in.

Your profile

We are seeking a motivated research technician able to fulfill the following criteria:

• Has an HBO-level degree in Biomedical Science or similar
• Has experience with tissue culture, cell-based assays, molecular biology, biochemistry and/or pharmacology techniques
• Is eager and willing to learn
• Is able to work with accuracy and attention to detail
• Is reliable, perseverant and focused on the objective
• Is a social person, able to work as part of a diverse team
• Has excellent communication skills (oral and written) in English, and preferably also Dutch

You will be employed for a period of at least 2 years. The terms of employment will be in accordance with the CAO Hospitals. The gross salary per month is € 2.102,- to € 3.012,- according to the FWG-function group 45, and depends on previous experience. Acquisition for this vacancy is not appreciated.
