Postdoc Telomere Biology, DNA Repair and Genome Stability

Investigate how G-quadruplex DNA structures affect telomere protection, DNA-repair pathway choice and genome instability in normal and cancer cells. Jacqueline Jacobs’s Oncogenomics group combines genetic and pharmacological perturbations with microscopy, long-read telomere sequencing and transcriptomics in a Dutch Cancer Society-funded project. The initial two-year appointment is 36 hours per week, with possible extension up to two further years, planned from early 2027. Gross monthly salary is EUR 4,629–5,503.

PhD in a relevant biomedical discipline within the last four years, strong mammalian cell-culture and molecular/cellular laboratory skills, microscopy and quantitative image analysis, first-author publications and fluent English. Genomics/bioinformatics is useful but does not replace experimental expertise. Submit through the application form with a one-page motivation letter, CV and two referees; emailed applications are not processed.
