About your role
In this project, you will work in a multidisciplinary team integrating state-of-the-art immuno-metabolic research, proteomics, clinical research, and data-analysis.
For both projects we are seeking highly motivated and talented postdocs that will work with a large team of clinicians and translational researchers in setting up a workflow for the biobanking of materials collected from a cohort of individuals undergoing a lifestyle intervention. Besides this general task, there will be two subprojects that will be your main responsibility. When writing your motivation letter indicate for which subproject do you have preference and why:
- Subproject 1 (META-IMMUNOTYPES): You will collaborate with a team of experts in setting up comprehensive multi-layered immune monitoring strategies spanning over 70-marker panels and time-lapse flow cytometry. You will work together with a PhD student on creating novel data models and identifying interesting biomarker leads for the development of next-generation miniaturized assays for screening purposes.
- Subproject 2 (T2B-iCARE): You will focus on the development of tools for the identification of generic and unique immunotypic cues that can be applied in either in B-cell immune-mediated disorders for more effective B-cell-tailored therapies.
About you- a PhD in biomedical sciences or related;
- a strong background in immunological research with a translational aim;
- experience with spectral flow cytometry, high-dimensional data analysis, and a strong background in bioinformatics;
- ability to work independently and thrive in a multidisciplinary academic environment;
- ability to communicate fluently in English, both verbally and in writing.
