Here you will work on mechanisms of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling in cell systems and in mouse metabolic and/or CNS disease models. The project is centered around differences in genomic mechanisms of action for different antagonists and selective modulators of the GR, in a collaboration with Corcept Therapeutics.

·         Absolute requirements are a PhD degree, and experience with (single cell) omics techniques such as RNAseq, ChIPseq (equivalents), ATACseq, both practical and computational;

·         The exact project will be shaped together with the successful candidate

You will be employed on the basis of 36 hours per week. Appointment is for four years. Your salary is based on your education and experience and is a maximum of  € 4,800  gross per month for a full time position (scale 10 in the Collective Labour Agreement for University Hospitals).
