Closes on 27 May 2026
To support the iCNS consortium, the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the UMCG is looking for a research technician. You will play an important role in generating high-quality molecular data from brain tissue of individuals with and without psychiatric disorders. Your workday is varied and challenging: you will perform advanced multi-omics experiments, carry out data analyses, and thereby contribute to mapping the molecular and cellular processes underlying psychiatric disorders.
You will work with innovative techniques such as (spatial) RNA sequencing. In this role, you will process postmortem brain tissue, conduct experiments at (sub)cellular resolution, and ensure the quality of the generated data. In addition, you will analyze and interpret results and document them carefully. You will also be involved in setting up and optimizing new techniques and protocols.
