– Supervise master’s or doctoral students
– Participate in team meetings, article writing and scientific presentations
– Optional contribution to funding applications
SKILLS
– PhD in molecular biology, cancer biology or equivalent field
– Minimum 2 years of postdoctoral experience
– Expertise in proteomics (mass spectrometry)
– Proven experience with in vivo models (pancreatic cancer)
– In-depth knowledge of pancreatic tumor biology and tumor-stroma interactions
– Proficiency in R for data analysis
– Experience in student supervision
Desired:
– Spatial transcriptomics
– Experience in writing research projects
– Knowledge of glycobiology
– Proficiency in single-cell sequencing
– Organizational and interpersonal skills
– Ability to work independently and in a team
Work context
