BedrijfsomschrijvingFunctieomschrijving**Overall, you will have the unique opportunity to shape as well as lead a high-impact immuno-oncology relevant computational/bioinformatics project aiming to elaborate the intricate cross-talk between various immune cells and the glioblastoma micro-environment in the context of clinical immunotherapy including (but not limited to) anticancer vaccines. These exciting research lines have a lot of translational potential for glioblastoma patients, as the field of cancer immunotherapy is rapidly expanding but remains in desperate need for biomarkers capable of guiding clinical decisions.


While spearheading this exciting and state-of-the-art research initiative, you will also be expected to have good communication skills, a highly collaborative spirit and willingness to work in collaboration with several different teams and clinicians.

You will also be expected to provide advice and guidance to PhD students or postdocs from within our teams or other collaborating teams on computational analyses, especially spatial omics.


You should be able to organize and troubleshoot your work independently, document it thoroughly and communicate results and experience with the team in a transparent and professional manner.


Functie-eisen
We are looking for a computational biologist/bioinformatician who is highly motivated, well organized, and dynamic with a high level of independence and creative thinking but a flexible research approach:

  • You need to have a PhD with a topic in one of the following areas: Bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology or similar.
  • Experience with computational immunology and/or spatial omics is an added advantage.
  • A proven and successful publication track record in this field.
  • High intrinsic motivation and a strong scientific curiosity.
  • Ability to be inventive and to present novel ideas in method development, data analysis and interpretation.
  • Team player that can work independently in a multidisciplinary (international) team.
  • Excellent oral and written English communication skills.
  • Proactive, flexible, and problemsolving attitude.
  • Experience in working with deadlines and being involved in multiple projects.

Arbeidsvoorwaarden

  • The position is immediately available.
- (Early) access to state-of-the-art cancer patient single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data.

  • A stimulating (international, multidisciplinary) research environment where quality, professionalism and team spirit are encouraged.
  • The ability to work on scientifically exceptional and high impact, stateoftheart projects.
  • The opportunity to be part of a young and dynamic team (Prof. Garg) as well as work very closely with a worldclass EU consortium (GLIOMATCH) thereby providing a meaningful contribution to immunooncology research.
  • The KU Leuven is one of the most innovative universities in Europe. Leuven is located 20 min. from Brussels, in the centre of Europe.
