Offer Description
You will be embedded within the LISCO-affiliated Translational Cell and Tissue Research unit headed by Prof. Francesca Bosisio and Prof. Frederik De Smet at KULeuven. There will be a strong focus on technology development/practical implementation of new spatial, single-cell multiomic readouts (with an initial focus on integrating protein and RNA based readouts), optimisation and benchmarking of protocols, and finally implemention of their use in a service mode towards the users of our platform. You will have the opportunity to work in a young, dynamic and interdisciplinary team that brings together bio-informaticians, clinicians, pathologists and molecular biologists. Therefore, we offer a full time 2-year postdoc position within our team. The ability to apply for additional fellowship is an additional plus. During this time, you will also receive the chance to strategically shape the future of this exciting domain. You will have a multifaceted role that involves various tasks aimed at advancing and innovating technologies within our field.

Benefits
We offer full-time employment within our facility at the KU Leuven Institute for Single-cell OMICS (LISCO) embedded within the department of imaging and pathology. You will work in a stimulating research environment and contribute to smooth group dynamics in collaboration with various postdoctoral researchers, doctoral students and other technical staff. The possibility to extend the initial 2-year contract is in line with our intention for a long-term position but requires a good evaluation after the first and second working year.
The intention is to expand our services for multiplex analysis along the coming years and keep on offering the most novel and state-of-the-art technologies. This position offers the opportunity to become an important key in these developments and to grow with them. KU Leuven is a top university in Europe located in the heart of Leuven, a pleasant city with an international character. Start date: as soon as possible.
