About this position
PhD position in the Artegiani & Hendriks group at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
This doctoral opening focuses on the use and development of human brain organoids to study mechanisms of human brain development and disease, and to understand how developmental processes relate to brain disorders. The project sits within the EU-funded Marie Curie doctoral network VISI-ON-BRAIN, which aims to develop advanced human in vitro and in silico biomedical tools for studying brain disease.
Research topics and methods include developmental biology, organoid technology, disease modelling, pluripotent stem cell-derived and tissue-derived organoid cultures, transcriptomic analyses, CRISPR-Cas engineering, and other state-of-the-art molecular and computational tools.
Applicants should have completed a Master’s degree and bring strong theoretical and wet-lab experience, especially in cell culture and basic molecular techniques. Experience with organoid culture and bioinformatic tools is a plus. The group and institute are international, and the working language is English. MSCA mobility rules apply: candidates must not have lived in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the 3 years before recruitment.
The position is full-time for 4 years (36 hours/week), initially for 1 year with the possibility of extension. Salary is according to FWG 45-6 under the Dutch collective labor agreement, with 8.33% holiday allowance and 8.33% end-of-year bonus.
Deadline: 31 October 2026. Start date is tentative for November/December 2026. Apply via the orange button on the vacancy page and submit a CV and motivation letter through the AFAS portal.
