About this position

Maastricht University is recruiting for three PhD positions as part of the EU Research Consortium LipidBRIGHT, focusing on lipidomics and cardiovascular research. The positions will start in September 2026 and are based at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM) and M4i Maastricht. The research projects include:

  • Lipids and cardiovascular risk (Supervisor: Heidi Noels, Biochemistry Dpt, CARIM)
  • Lipidomic analyses by high-resolution mass-spectrometry and MALDI imaging to identify, quantify, and localize novel regulators of pathological processes underlying cardiovascular diseases (Supervisor: Joachim Jankowski, Pathology Dpt, CARIM)
  • Developing advanced lipidomics toolboxes to study complex biological systems (Supervisors: Maarten Honing and Birol Cabukusta, M4i Maastricht)

These positions offer the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary, international environment at the forefront of lipidomics and cardiovascular research. The projects are ideal for candidates with backgrounds in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, or medical science, and who are interested in applying advanced analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and MALDI imaging to biomedical questions. The LipidBRIGHT network provides a collaborative research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and training opportunities.

Applicants should have a relevant Master's degree and demonstrate motivation for doctoral research. Experience in lipidomics, mass spectrometry, or cardiovascular research is advantageous. The positions are expected to be fully funded as part of the EU doctoral network, with details available on the official Maastricht University vacancy page. The application window is open for a September 2026 start, and interested candidates should prepare to submit their applications online via the university's portal.

Funding details

The positions are part of the EU Research Consortium LipidBRIGHT and are expected to be fully funded, including a stipend and tuition coverage, as is typical for EU doctoral networks. Specific funding details should be confirmed on the official vacancy page.

What's required

Applicants should hold a relevant Master's degree in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, medical science, or a related field. Experience with lipidomics, mass spectrometry, or cardiovascular research is preferred. Strong academic record, motivation for doctoral research, and proficiency in English are required. Additional requirements may be specified in the official vacancy.
