Job Description

📢 Open Positions 📢

We’re hiring motivated PhDs & Postdocs to join a cutting-edge research program @VIBLifeSciences #urgent

– Technology: in vivo CRISPR screens
– Computational: Multi-omics, Modelling & Deep Learning
– Focus: Macrophages, Liver homeostasis, Regeneration & Metastasis
– Funding: ERC AdG, FWO & Cancer Grant

Join the Martin Guilliams (experimental) and Wouter Saelens (computational) teams in a collaborative environment composed of biomedical experts, technologists and computational experts.

We have developed in vivo single-cell CRISPR technologies to screen for dozens of molecular factors in vivo. We will apply these technologies to unravel the causal circuits driving the development and the functional specialisation of macrophages and will study the effect of macrophage perturbations on the neighbouring cells through spatial CRISPR screens. These technologies are a game-changer in the speed, scale and resolution in which in vivo pathways of differentiation and cell activation can be unravelled through rapid iterative screens.
You will be embedded in a close-knit team composed of biomedical experts, technologist and computational experts combining state-of-the-art in vivo perturbational technologies and advanced computational modelling to solve fascinating biomedical puzzles.
The combination between single-cell and spatial omics, advanced in vivo perturbational screens and novel probabilistic deep-learning models will be applied to unravel the causal circuits that control liver homeostasis (FWO project), liver metastasis (Foundation Against Cancer project) and liver regeneration (ERC Advanced Grant).

Open positions:

– Bioinformatics technician for multi-omics data analysis
– PhD candidate in Machine Learning of Large-scale in vivo Perturbational Omics
– PhD candidate in Spatial Systems Biology for Translational Oncology
– PhD candidate or Postdoctoral fellow in Perturbational Systems Biology in Liver Regeneration
– PhD candidate or Postdoctoral fellow in Perturbational Systems Immunology
– PhD candidate or Postdoctoral fellow in Perturbational Systems Oncology
– PhD candidate or Postdoctoral fellow in Systems Biology of Hepatic Cellular Networks
