Postdoc Position in Clinical Immunopeptidomics and Proteomics

As a Postdoctoral Researcher in the group of dr Marino, you will play a central role in advancing the group's research through the development and application of state-of-the-art immunopeptidomics/proteomics workflows for antigen identification, quantification, and validation. Your work will directly contribute to translational and precision medicine initiatives, with a particular focus on the discovery of clinically relevant targets for cancer immunotherapy.

In this role, you will support the team by driving mass spectrometry-based method development and contributing your expertise to a range of proteogenomics and immunology-related projects. Beyond providing technical leadership, you will proactively introduce innovative ideas, establish new research directions, and spearhead initiatives that strengthen the group's scientific capabilities.

You will have the opportunity to make a significant impact by developing novel workflows that enable the identification, accurate quantification of antigens and associated mechanisms of T-cell recognition. These discoveries will support the development of next-generation vaccine-based therapies, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes for patients with cancer.

Finally, you will be involved in many different multicentered and multidisciplinary collaborations, with both industry as well as academia and medical institutes. This will increase your exposure and expand your own professional network supporting your future scientific career.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and execute mass spectrometry–based workflows for the identification and quantitation of disease-associated antigens from clinical specimens;
• Develop, optimize, and apply DIA- and PRM-based proteomics methods;
• Perform quantitative data analysis, normalization, quality control, and statistical interpretation of proteomics datasets;
• Contribute to biomarker and antigen validation studies across diverse clinical cohorts;
• Collaborate closely with clinicians, computational biologists, and translational researchers;
• Support method development, data interpretation, manuscript preparation, and grant writing.

Veterinarian with an interest in anaesthesiology

As a veterinarian in the Anaesthesiology team, you will work closely with referring veterinarians, pet owners, anaesthesia staff, veterinary nurses, and students. In addition to providing patient care, you will play an active role in clinical teaching and supervising interns. You will also participate in the department's clinical rota alongside your colleagues.

You will join a skilled and supportive team consisting of:

• two ECVAA Diplomates;
• two residents working in both the Equine and Companion Animal Clinics;
• several veterinary anaesthetists;
• several veterinary nurses.

Are you ready to further develop your expertise and apply your passion for veterinary anaesthesia in a collaborative academic environment? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

PhD: Identifying and Addressing Barriers to Accessing Youth Mental Health Care

Daarnaast ga je in de klinische praktijk data verzamelen om inzicht te krijgen in ervaringen van jongeren die wel hulp hebben gezocht. Deze informatie zal gebruikt worden om drempels om te zetten in praktische tools die de stap naar hulp verlagen. Op deze manier beoogt dit project een antwoord te geven op de vraag: Hoe kunnen we mentale gezondheidszorg toegankelijker maken voor jongeren?

Binnen het project is er ook ruimte voor eigen inbreng voor een specifiek onderwerp/subdoel. Het onderzoek zal resulteren in een dissertatie.
In de functie van promovendus ben je verantwoordelijk voor:

• bestuderen van relevante literatuur op het gebied van internaliserende problematiek, drempels voor het zoeken van hulp en interventies;
• analyseren van bestaande kwantitatieve data van jongeren met (sub)klinische klachten (zowel cross-sectioneel als longitudinaal);
• data verzamelen met behulp van focus groepen in de klinische praktijk (o.a. GGzCentraal);
• uitvoeren van single case studies in de klinische praktijk;
• rapporteren van resultaten in Engelstalige artikelen, resulterend in een proefschrift;
• presenteren van resultaten op internationale en nationale congressen;
• geven van onderwijs (10% van je aanstelling).

PhD Position: Mapping the Dynamics of Interpersonal Emotion Regulation

The Department of Social, Health, and Organizational Psychology at Utrecht University has an opening for a PhD position. As a PhD candidate, you will have the following responsibilities:

• conducting literature reviews and designing quantitative studies (experience sampling studies, in-lab interaction studies, surveys);
• collecting, analyzing, and reporting data, leading to international scientific publications and a dissertation;
• presenting findings at national and international conferences;
• teaching (10%);
• actively participating in the research group and the department;
• completing the PhD program at the Kurt Lewin Institute (KLI).
