OFFER DESCRIPTION
We are looking for an early-career academic who is interested in embarking or continuing on an academic career path as a tenure track assistant or associate professor in the area of Mass Spectrometry for Analytical Biochemistry. The successful candidate will join the research group Analytical Biochemistry, a dynamic, multidisciplinary group of researchers stemming from the fields of mass spectrometry, proteomics and metabolomics.
In addition to developing your own research line, you are expected to further build on the scientific knowledge generated by GRIP's (Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy) preclinical and clinical research groups (e.g. Molecular Pharmacology, Drug Design, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Nanomedicine and Drug Targeting, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Biology) and complement the research portfolio of these groups with novel mass spectrometry methods in various application areas, such as biopharmaceutical development, new drug target and biomarker discovery for cancer and respiratory diseases.
In this position, you will:
• develop an independent, world-class, multidisciplinary research programme, focussing on analytical chemistry, and specifically mass spectrometry, in the context of biomedical/clinical projects
• teach in the degree programmes of Pharmacy (both BSc and MSc) and the Master, Medical Pharmaceutical Sciences (MPS)
• supervise BSc, MSc, and PhD students in the research group
• contribute to the organisation and management within the research group and institute, for example by participating in working groups and committees in the fields of teaching, research and management
• contribute to the management of the Interfaculty Mass Spectrometry Center.
At the stage of Assistant Professor, 60% of your time will be devoted to research activities, 30% to teaching, and 10% for organisational tasks. After five years you will be assessed for tenure and promotion to the level of Associate Professor.
As an Associate Professor, 40% of your time is for research activities, 40% for teaching, and 20% for organisational tasks. You can choose to apply for a promotion to Full Professor
anywhere between 4 to 7 years after your appointment.
The criteria for assessment for both positions are described in detail in the career development programme of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, known as Career Paths in Science: https://www.rug.nl/fse/organization/vacatures/vacatures/career-paths-in-...
