Job Description:
As a PhD Candidate you will perform innovative research in the quantitative analysis of medical Flow Cytometry data collected in a hospital environment. You will try to obtain more information of higher quality, for early and personalized disease diagnosis and elucidating comprehensive disease mechanisms. You will use existing chemometrics data analysis methods (Principal Component Analysis, Partial Least Squares Regression), but you will also develop and extend novel data analysis methods that better fit the specific structure of Flow Cytometry data. For this development you will be able to use data from state-of-the-art Flow Cytometric/Fluorescence Assisted Cell Sorting technology, on a large variety of medical conditions. The position will be primarily focused on data analysis, but the candidate will be able to obtain considerable hands-on experience with the available Flow Cytometry technology, to integrate it with the ongoing research. You will communicate your findings through papers in peer-reviewed research journals and via oral presentations in international scientific symposia. You will also be involved in the education given by the Laboratory for Analytical Chemistry, on M.Sc. and B.Sc. level, both in the classroom courses and in the supervision of student internships. You will work in a young, enthousiastic and ambitious research team that consists of two other PhD Candidates and several MSc-level students. Description - you have a university degree (M.Sc.) in Analytical Chemistry (preferably chemometrics), Bioinformatics or a related field that involves quantitative data analysis; - you have demonstrable experience with multivariate data analysis methods (e.g. Principal Component Analysis, Partial Least Squares Regression); - you have experience with the MATLAB programming environment, or with a viable alternative and willing to learn MATLAB; - you thrive in an interdisciplinary research field, and can bridge quantitative data analysis with biomedical research; - you are well able to collaborate with peer researchers in collaborative research project; - you have an excellent command of the English language and be able to use it in a scientific context; - experience with the use of Flow Cytometry technology is beneficial, but not essential. Benefits you will be appointed for a period of four years. Your performance will be evaluated after 18 months. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 2.5 years; - you will be classified as a PhD Candidate (promovendus) in the Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO). the gross starting salary amounts to €2,083 per month, and will increase to €2,664 in the fourth year 0 - None
