Bioinformatician - Computational Biologist in the Laboratory of Neuroimmunology

VIB

Antwerp, Belgium

Description

We are seeking a motivated new colleague who wants to join an exciting research program within the VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology in the Pasciuto lab (Prof. Emanuela Pasciuto).

The research will explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuroimmune interaction in the context of Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative diseases.

The position will involve analyzing single-cell RNA-seq and single cell Omics (including multiplex proteomics, transcriptomics data, and TCR sequencing) by applying best-practice bioinformatics workflows. It will require a highly motivated bioinformatician or computational biologist to provide support for a variety of projects in Neuroimmunology. The role requires competency in programming languages such as Python and/or R and will involve working on a high-performance computing cluster. The individual will collaborate closely with other bioinformaticians and biologists to work on joint initiatives.
