About this position

Postdoctoral position in multi-omics, cancer genomics, bioinformatics, and pediatric brain tumor biology at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in the Netherlands.

The Kool group is recruiting a postdoc to lead the molecular characterization of astroblastoma, a rare and newly recognized pediatric brain tumor. The project combines bulk and single-cell omics with integrative computational analysis to uncover tumor origins, molecular mechanisms, and sex-specific biology. Methods mentioned include Hi-C, long-read whole-genome sequencing, single-cell RNA-seq, and single-cell ATAC-seq, alongside public developmental and tumor datasets.

The work is highly collaborative and involves the Artegiani-Hendriks group, with links to developmental neuroscience, human brain organoids, genomics, and translational pediatric oncology. The postdoc will work with clinicians, computational biologists, molecular pathologists, and organoid researchers in Utrecht.

Eligibility highlights: PhD in genomics, molecular biology, (epi)genetics, systems biology, or a related field; wet-lab experience in omics methods; strong coding and bioinformatics skills; experience integrating genomic/epigenomic datasets; and excellent English communication and independent research ability.

Funding and contract: full-time postdoc (36 hours/week), initially 1 year with possible extension, salary according to Dutch hospital scale 60, plus holiday allowance and end-of-year bonus.

Application: apply via the portal/AcademicTransfer link. Prepare a CV, a motivation letter (max two pages), and contact details for 2-3 references. The vacancy is reviewed on a rolling basis and closes when a suitable candidate is found.
