Are you interested in studying sexual stages of malaria parasites and provide knowledge for malaria transmission blocking strategies? And do you cherish the power of omics technologies in dissecting complex cellular differentiation processes? Then join the Department of Molecular Biology as a postdoctoral researcher.

We are looking for an ambitious postdoctoral researcher with ample experience in systems biology and bioinformatics. Experience with malaria research is a plus but not strictly required.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will participate in a collaborative ZonMW open competition project (a team of two postdoctoral fellows embedded in two different institutes) dedicated to dissect gametocyte development in vivax-type malaria parasites.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to develop novel ideas and work on additional independent projects that align with this research theme.

The open and safe environment at Radboud University is extremely inspiring. I've felt totally at home here for over twenty years.

We are

The Department of Molecular Biology is part of the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS-Science), which is one of the six research institutes of the Faculty of Science at Radboud University.

The overarching aim of RIMLS-Science is to decipher molecular mechanisms of disease. Research areas of RIMLS-Science include epigenetics, stem-cell and developmental biology, and computational biology. The central research theme is regulation of gene expression during development, in health and in disease.

Important tools used at the institute include next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, single-cell and spatial multi-omics and computational analysis, as well as method development.

To perform state-of-the-art research, RIMLS-Science operates its own wet-lab, omics and computational facilities.

This fundamental and applied research in medical biology and molecular life sciences has clear links to more clinically oriented research programmes at departments within the Radboud university medical center.

RIMLS-Science currently has about 60 researchers, providing a vibrant and international working environment.
