Job Description

Req ID : 1179418

Description

The Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases headed by prof. Bart De Strooper is a vibrant environment where key issues related to Alzheimer s disease are tackled. We are currently looking for a highly skilled and motivated bioinformatician to join our multidisciplinary project on the cellular response to Alzheimer s pathology (De Strooper and Karran, Cell, 2016).

In this project, we will investigate why some people remain protected against Alzheimer s Disease despite the presence of amyloid plaques. Understanding why some people are resilient to Alzheimer s disease will help us to identify new drug targets. The candidate will integrate data from spatial transcriptomics, in situ sequencing, and single-cell RNAseq from multiple projects and models in the lab to prioritize targets for further drug discovery. The work will be performed in collaboration with our spin-off biotech company Muna Therapeutics, which develops first-in-class therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases.

Profile

Required

  • Master or Ph.D. in bioinformatics, biostatistics, human genetics or equivalent
  • Strong interests in the field of Alzheimer s Disease or Neurodegeneration.
  • Critical mindset, fast learner & team player
  • Able to work effectively in cross-function teams with strong communication skills
  • Good mastery of the English language

Appreciated

  • A track record in the field of neuroscience
  • A track record in omics data (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics)
  • Experience in drug discovery and translational biology

We offer

  • A Stimulating, diverse, international and exceptionally strong research environment in a world-class academic laboratory with a focus on Alzheimer s disease
  • Opportunity to work with an excellent bioinformatics team
  • Opportunity to work with spin-off biotech Muna Therapeutics
  • Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and global collaborations
  • Start date: as soon as possible - the position is available immediately

How to apply?

Please complete the online application procedure and include a detailed CV, a motivation letter describing research interests and previous research experience and a list of publications.
