Post-doctoral researcher 'Multiscale in vivo optical imaging & Intravital microscopy'

The Faculteit Geneeskunde en Farmacie, Department Observerende Klinische wetenschappen, is looking for a postdoctoral researcher. 

More concretely your work package contains: 

The laboratory for In vivo Cellular and Molecular imaging (ICMI) is a multidisciplinary team performing research on the development of novel molecular imaging and molecular therapy applications, mainly based on Nanobody-tracers. Our research spans all activities from tracer design, over in vitro characterization and validation in relevant models, till early phase clinical trials. Our new imaging facility is equipped with various state-of-the-art in vivo imaging modalities including nuclear imaging (PET/SPECT), optical imaging (Bioluminescence, near-infrared fluorescence) and intravital imaging (stereofluoresence and 2-photon fluorescence microscopy).

We are recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to develop an independent research line on intravital fluorescence imaging to better understand the behavior of molecular tracers at microscopic level as well as the biological effects induced by innovative molecular and cellular therapies. The applicant's main task will be to setup and manage the intravital imaging platform, perform excellent research for ongoing and upcoming projects on the subject. (S)He is also expected to participate in in writing research grants.

You will become part of the In vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging (ICMI) laboratory (https://mima.research.vub.be/en) and will report to one of its principal investigators, Prof. Sophie Hernot. You will be part of a highly interactive research unit, gathering professors, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students, research associates and technicians, all working together towards a common goal, creating clinical impact with novel molecular imaging and therapy applications.

For this function, our Brussels Health Campus (Jette) will serve as your home base.
