We are now looking for a talented researcher with computational skills to analyze and interpret the data we are generating. Especially, we are interested in further developing the READ until protocol, which enables the selective rejection of an individual read before it’s being sequenced completely. You will be working in The Laboratory for Translational Genetics. [More]
The Translational Immunology Laboratory managed by Dr. Adrian Liston is looking for a skilled and motivated bioinformatician. This internationally recognized research group is embedded in the infrastructure of the VIB and KUL and consists of three major research divisions: the tissue and disease team, the molecular Treg team and the primary immunodeficiency team that unite to understand the factors that influence immune activation and immune tolerance. [More]
For its new Bioinformatics Core Facility, the center is currently looking for a dynamic and highly motivated Scientist in Bioinformatics. The candidate will perform informatics to solve biological questions and will be involved in: Building and applying bioinformatics pipelines in order to analyze high-throughput sequencing data such as whole-genome, whole-exome, methylation and RNA data; Guiding biologists in analyzing their own data and performing statistical tests and pathway analysis; [More]
The Raes lab (VIB, KU Leuven) is looking for a postdoc in the computational analysis of microbiome data, with a particular emphasis on human-associated microbial communities in health and disease. Projects will focus on (i) bioinformatics/statistics method development for joint host and microbiota data analysis, multi-omics and clinical data integration and/or (ii) their application to large scale datasets generated within the Flemish Gut Flora project cohort (n>5000), in a wide range of disease cohorts as well as in international projects (e.g FP7 MetaCardis, H2020 AD-Gut). We look for an excellent track record in (meta-)omics data analysis and strong scientific drive. We provide a stimulating and fun environment to pursue your scientific dreams. VIB-KULeuven is an exciting, interdisciplinary research institute with excellent facilities and leading research groups in e.g. gastroenterology, oncology, immunology, microbiology & virology, clinical genetics/-omics, molecular biology and translational research. The Raes lab is located on the Gasthuisberg campus of the KU Leuven (Fac. of Medicine) and has on-site robotic sample processing, high-throughput computing resources as well as next-gen sequencing facilities (mi/next/hiSeq. PacBio, oxford nanopore). Postdoc salaries in Belgium are in the range of 2000-2300 euros/month after taxes and including health insurance. Interested? Check out some of our recent work!
