Available positions:
PhD Candidate: dissect molecular mechanism of Atrial Fibrillation (1.0 FTE, 36 hours)
Will you help unravel how proteostasis derailment is triggered in patients? Through citizen science in collaboration with AF patients, we identified several new triggers for AF. Within this PhD project, you will study trigger-induced AF in animal-free experimental AF model systems. This knowledge is utilized to identify druggable targets which may be translated to clinical AF trials.
PhD Candidate: development of an electro-transcriptomics atlas of Atrial Fibrillation (1.0 FTE, 36 hours)
Are you interested in building a highly innovative electro-transcriptomics atlas of atrial fibrillation? Within this PhD project, you will utilise transcriptomics and electrical data of patients to reveal insights in bio-electrical changes that underlie atrial fibrillation. Also, you will search for additional pathways that drive AF. This knowledge is utilized to identify druggable targets which may be translated to clinical AF trials.
Research technician Physiology (1.0 FTE, 36 hours)
Will you help unravel molecular pathways that trigger AF? Through citizen science in collaboration with AF patients, we identified several new triggers for AF. You will be part of a research team dedicated to dissect trigger-induced AF in animal-free experimental AF model systems. This knowledge is utilized to identify druggable targets which may be translated to clinical AF trials.
