Based on your affinity for and expertise in immunology and oncology, you will be involved in scientific research within the research line of tumor immunology and lymphomas. The other four main research lines of the department concern solid tumors, translational models of tissue damage and regeneration, molecular endotypes in chronic diseases, and immune-mediated diseases.

The research in the department has a strong translational character and aims at identifying biological mechanisms that contribute to disease and regaining health. The department operates at the interface between clinic (diagnostics and treatment) and biology, with excellent cross-pollination within the department, the cluster, the UMCG as well as regionally and (inter) nationally. Within this dynamic environment, you will contribute to education and training as a teacher, and you will also participate in management tasks.

We are looking for a creative colleague with extensive wet-lab experience and comprehensive knowledge in the field of immunology and molecular oncology.

As a team player in an open, collegial and inspiring research and learning environment, you will initially contribute to ongoing projects.

Within the framework of the main line of research and at the level of Assistant Professor, you will be encouraged and supported to develop and grow your own independent research line over time. In your academic role, you connect people and ideas and make an active contribution to the further strengthening of the research line, the department and collaborations within and outside the UMCG.

In addition, you are passionate about sharing knowledge and skills and motivated to further develop as a supervisor and teacher. In that context, you have the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) or are willing to obtain it in the short term.
