PhD Position in Cytokine Signaling in Macrophages – Amsterdam UMC

Project Info

Beyond the well-known JAK-STAT signaling pathways, the candidate will study cytokine signaling pathways in macrophages. Disease states are influenced by the way macrophage phenotypes are shaped by cytokines. It is unknown how cytokine-specific responses might arise because numerous cytokines with opposite roles use very similar JAK-STAT signalling pathways. Finding new, cytokine-specific variables controlling macrophage cytokine responses is the aim.

Requirements

  1. You hold a master’s degree in biomedical sciences, biochemistry, bioinformatics, or (medical) biology;
  2. You’ve worked on transcriptional regulation, immunology, and molecular biology;
  3. You’re willing to pick up skills in bioinformatics and transcriptomic and genomic data analysis;
  4. You have outstanding oral and written English communication abilities;
  5. Preferably, you have experience with bioinformatics (such as using R).
