Communications Officer
Ammeraal Beltech - Heerhugowaard

Ammeraal Beltech is one of the world’s leaders in process and conveyor belting. Their products and engineered solutions can be found in many industries including logistics, airports, paper & print, distribution centers and in the food and agricultural industry.

The organization has a global network of operating companies that serve the needs of local customers in 150 countries. Together with production plants in 6 countries and 80 Ammeraal Beltech fabrication centers, over 2,000 employees deliver standard and tailor-made solutions to customers with products and 24/7 service. This combination of a geographical structure, strong market segment knowledge and dedicated product management is the foundation of the innovative and service-oriented organization.

Part of the larger Sales Development Team, the important role of developing, coordinating, implementing and rolling out global external communications and online media actions falls onto the External Communications department.

Primary responsibilities

• Use our CMS to upload and maintain content on Ammeraal Beltech’s websites (public and intranet sites), taking a lead role in maintenance & development.
• Ensure AB’s main website and all local country / local language variations are accurately updated. Carry out testing and report problems to IT support staff.
• Be service oriented and the go-to person both internally and for the wider external AB community for Website content management issues.
• Be comfortable with manipulating marketing communications content in all its forms (pictures, video files, texts).
• Report online statistics and regularly fine-tune SEO and SEM criteria.
• Update existing or help create new marketing publications (flyers, brochures, leaflets, presentations).
• Liaise with various departmental suppliers and partners and manage their activities and control their performance.
• As a Communications Team member, work collaboratively with other members and contribute to executing and implementing various projects and activities (from coordinating the work of photographers to supporting AB’s presence at important exhibitions and events).
• Other duties as assigned.

Knowledge and skill requirements

• Marketing communications knowledge or experience within an international technical products focused B2B environment.
• Education: HBO (Higher Vocational) or University educated (communications or digital media).
• Experienced with online marketing communications, digital files, social media.
• Experience using a CMS is considered a big plus.
• Basic understanding of traditional marketing communications collateral.
• Good HTML knowledge, basic CSS, Photoshop and InDesign skills.
• MS office tools (especially Excel, PowerPoint, Word).
• Good project management skills, able to plan ahead and organize own workload.
• Self-sufficient, able to prioritize and work under pressure.
• Attention to detail and an eye for cultural differences.
• Excellent inter-personal and communication skills.
• Comfortable working in a changing international matrix organization.
• Fluent English (written and spoken) - Dutch and other languages a plus.

PhD in Imaging Dementia: Brain Matters Delft University of Technology - Delft — AcademicTransfer

PhD in Imaging Dementia: Brain Matters Delft University of Technology - Delft — AcademicTransfer

Job description

In the coming decades, dementia will pose an increasing burden
on society: the number of persons suffering from late-onset Alzheimer’s
disease is expected to quadruple by 2050. There is thus an urgent need
to develop effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. This
requires tools to identify individuals at risk or to recognise patients
ideally very early in the disease process.   

Brain MRI is one of the most promising, non-invasive and relatively
low-cost techniques to gain information on the multitude of processes
involved in dementia. There is increasing insight that specific
(patterns of) image markers reflect certain pathways contributing to the
development of Alzheimer's disease.

The objective of the PhD programme is to develop a new methodology for
the extraction of biomarkers that characterise early stage dementia. The
developed methodology will be based on ASL, fMRI and other MRI
modalities. It must especially compensate for the unavoidable patient
motion and quantify the precision of the obtained biomarkers. The
methods will be integrated in a clinical prototype workstation.

Requirements

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic candidate with an
MSc degree in (applied) Physics, Mathematics, or a related subject.
He/she must have an excellent knowledge of written and spoken English,
and a top 20% ranking during his/her BSc and MSc. Experience in image
processing is helpful. Good programming skills in MATLAB and C are a
necessity.

Conditions of employment

TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a
flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home (with a
contract of two years or longer), and the option of assembling a
customised compensation and benefits package. Salary and benefits are in
accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

As a PhD candidate you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School.
TU Delft Graduate School provides an inspiring research environment; an
excellent team of supervisors, academic staff and a mentor; and a
Doctoral Education Programme aimed at developing your transferable,
discipline-related and research skills. Please visit www.phd.tudelft.nl for more information.


For more information about this position, please contact Dr. D.H.J. Poot, phone, +31 (0)15-2781416, e-mail: d.h.j.poot@tudelft.nl.
To apply, please e-mail a detailed CV, publication list, references and
a letter of application by 4 January 2015 to Dr. Poot, d.h.j.poot@tudelft.nl.

When applying for this position, please refer to vacancy number TNWIP14-044.

Job description

Clouds and water vapour are very important elements of the climate system. The development of diverse remote sensing instrumentation and measurement methods to retrieve a complete view of the profile of atmospheric properties has met with considerable success. The state of the art in ground-based remote sensing is, however, still limited in its ability to quantify (or even handle) the presence of drizzle, an important element of the process determining cloud lifetime and not well taken into account in climate models.
In this project we will develop a multi-sensor optimal estimation-based framework for estimating profiles of cloud optical and microphysical properties, including the quantification of drizzle. The method will be developed and tested using a combination of simulators and real cloud data from the CESAR/Cabauw multi-instrument measurement site. In addition, satellite data will be used in the evaluation of the cloud property output of the algorithm.

Requirements

Applicants must have a PhD in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Meteorology, or another appropriate field. Prior experience in the fields of atmospheric remote sensing and/or data assimilation is desirable. The candidate must be able to verbally communicate and write in English at an appropriate level.

Conditions of employment

TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home (with a contract of two years or longer), and the option of assembling a customised compensation and benefits package (the 'IKA'). Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

VACANCY: Postdoc “Novel Anticancer Targets for Killing Drug Resistant Breast Tumor Cells”

Faculteit der Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen

Leiden Academic Center for Drug Research

The Leiden Academic Center for Drug Research (LACDR) is part of the Faculty of Science. The LACDR is a leading institute, which performs fundamental and strategic scientific research in the field of innovative drug research.
The division of Toxicology is part of the LACDR. The mission of the division is to understand the signal transduction networks in cancer development, progression and treatment with the ultimate aim to develop better and safer anticancer therapies.

The division of Toxicology is looking for a;
Postdoc “Novel Anticancer Targets for Killing Drug Resistant Breast Tumor Cells” (38 hours per week) Vacancynumber 13-132
Project Description
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer that has a poor disease prognosis. These tumors lack estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR) and epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and lack all receptors for which there are currently in breast cancer targeted agents available. Patients with TNBC are still treated with non-specific toxic chemotherapeutic drugs such as anthracycline and/or taxane-based chemotherapy. Newly developed targeted (combination) therapies are urgently needed for this heterogeneous subgroup of breast cancer patients. Genomics analysis of TNBC has identified various gene products that are associated with poor disease prognosis, yet their role in drug resistance is unclear. This project will involve a systematic RNA interference-based knock down screen of candidate modulators of drug resistance. We will use a small representative panel of human TNBC cell lines for synthetic lethality screens to identify novel drugable targets that can sensitize TNBC to common anticancer drugs. High content imaging-based approaches will be used. The role and mechanism of candidate genes will be studied in further detail in relation to DNA damage responses and/or mechanisms of cell death using molecular cell biology approaches. This project is a direct collaboration with the department of Medical Oncology at the Erasmus MC supporting the translation of the in vitro findings to the patient.

Requirements

We seek a talented and highly motivated candidate with proven experience in cell and molecular biology, cell signalling and cellular imaging. The candidate should have a PhD degree in the area of Oncology or Molecular Cell Biology and have demonstrated experience with screening and (breast) cancer. Experience or affinity with bioinformatics and cellular imaging is highly recommended.

We offer

The candidate will work within the Leiden Cell Observatory using state-of-the-art high content screening equipment. We are situated in the Gorlaeus Laboratories on the Science Park Leiden. Currently, 25 researchers including technicians, PhD students, and Postdocs work in the Division of Toxicology. The candidate will become part of a young and dynamic team with a strong expertise in cancer research and signal transduction. We offer a vibrant, research-driven work environment with emphasis on team spirit, excellence, and skills development.
Appointment will be according to the terms of the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities (CAO Nederlandse Universiteiten), for the duration of one year. An extension of two years after positive evaluation is possible. The function is validated in the University Function Ordening system (UFO) under the profile “Onderzoeker 4”. The salary will be set, depending on education and work experience, between the gross minimum of € 2403,- and gross maximum of € 3793,- per month, based on fulltime employment (salary scale: 10). Leiden University offers an attractive benefits package which includes an end-of-year premium of 8.3%, opportunities for personal development and possibilities for ‘personalized’ benefits via our Cafeteria model. More information about employment at Leiden University can be found at: www.leidenuniv.edu.
