The Netherlands is one of the leading research hubs for cancer immunotherapies. Radboudumc (Radboud University Medical Center) is one of the country's leading hospitals and university medical centers in the Netherlands, with active research programs in cancer immunotherapy, including cancer vaccines and CAR-NK cell therapy.

Our bioinformatics group offers a supportive, collaborative environment, and our trainees go on to PhD, postdoc, and engineering positions at leading institutions such as Oxford, the Max Planck Institutes, the Netherlands eScience Center (NLeSC), and pharmaceutical companies.

We are looking for 1 or 2 highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join our effort in AI for protein structure modeling in cancer immunotherapy design.

Profile A — AI

• PhD in machine learning, computer science, computational science, or a related field.
• Strong experience with deep learning (e.g., PyTorch), ideally geometric/graph neural networks, equivariant models, or generative models.
• Interest in applying AI to molecular or biological problems; prior structural biology experience is a plus but not required.

Profile B — Structural bioinformatics / computational biophysics

• PhD in structural bioinformatics, computational biophysics, computational chemistry, or a related field.
• Experience with protein structure modeling, molecular interactions/energetics, and tools such as AlphaFold, Rosetta, or MD simulations.
• Solid programming skills (Python); familiarity with machine learning is a plus.

For both profiles, we value:

• A strong publication record and scientific independence.
• Good collaboration and communication skills, and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary, translational research.
• Fluency in English.

• Starting date: November 1, 2026
• This position requires a Certificate of Conduct (VOG).

We are recruiting for this position ourselves. Unsolicited marketing is not appreciated, but do feel free to share the vacancy in your network!
