Job Description

Job description

The Laboratory of Interneuron Developmental Dynamics led by Dr. Lynette Lim at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research is recruiting an outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow to explore the developmental logic of inhibitory circuits in the brain.

Location: Leuven Belgium — a vibrant university town and neuroscience hub in the heart of Europe.

Focus: Understanding how cortical interneurons are generated matured and assembled into functional circuits — and how their disruption contributes to neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.

Our Research

We investigate how diverse classes of inhibitory neurons are specified and integrated into brain circuits during development. Our work bridges developmental neurobiology disease modeling and systems neuroscience. To do this we integrate mouse genetics & in vivo imaging CRISPR gene editing single-cell and spatial transcriptomics high-content imaging & bioinformatics electrophysiology & disease modeling

Our lab culture

We are a close-knit international team of scientists from five countries across three continents committed to rigorous science open dialogue and diversity of thought. Our lab values scientific curiosity intellectual independence and collaborative spirit.

We welcome applications from researchers of all backgrounds who thrive in a team-driven environment and are excited to tackle challenging questions using interdisciplinary approaches.

Profile

  • A PhD holder (or final-year PhD candidate) in Neuroscience Biology or a related field.
  • The first author of at least one peer-reviewed research article from your PhD.
  • Skilled in experimental neurobiology and molecular biology; experience with in vivo models imaging or stem cell systems is a plus.
  • Motivated resilient and excited to grow as a project leader and independent thinker.

What we offer

The initial appointment is for 2 years and a possible extension to 3-5 years. Starting date is flexible.

How to apply

Please send your CV & motivation letter describing your previous research experience to Lynette Lim:
