Dear all,

Only 1.5 week left to apply (deadline November 8).

I have an open position for a PhD student in my newly established group in the Biochemistry division at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We are
looking for enthusiastic applicants with a Master’s degree (or equivalent) and experience in protein biochemistry and/or structural biology. The starting date is flexible, but early 2026 or sooner would be preferred. 

In my group, we aim to uncover how the eukaryotic cytoskeleton drives cell migration and adhesion. We combine structural biology with biochemical/biophysical methods
to study the dynamics of actin filament assemblies and membrane proteins. The Biochemistry division of NKI has excellent biochemistry and biophysics facilities, good access to cryo-EM and good computing facilities. We have a vibrant structural biology
community; we
share lab space and have regular meetings with the Sixma, Perrakis and Joosten groups. 

Amsterdam is a great city to work and live in. It has a vibrant cultural, sports, music, and club scene, and there are many restaurants and bars. Amsterdam is a very
inclusive city and nearly everyone speaks English. It is also a very compact city: you can bike from the NKI to the old town city center in 15 minutes.
