The Paulson Lab at The Pennsylvania State University is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate stress erythropoiesis and inflammatory anemia. The project focuses on how inflammatory signaling and the hematopoietic microenvironment shape erythroid progenitor development and recovery from anemia. The research will examine interactions among erythroid progenitors, monocytes/macrophages, and inflammatory signaling pathways. The work combines mo...

About this position

The University of Antwerp is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher to join the Laboratories for Gut-Immune-Brain Axis Research (GIBA, Prof. Sebastiaan De Schepper) and the Microglia and Inflammation in Neurological Disorders lab (MIND, Prof. Renzo Mancuso) at the VIB–Center for Molecular Neurology. This ERC-funded position focuses on establishing next-generation humanized and engraftment models to study peripheral neuroimmune mechanisms driving Parkinson’s disease.

The research builds on recent advances in iPSC-derived xenotransplantation models, aiming to develop new tools and organ systems to better understand interactions between human immune cells and a-synuclein pathology in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. The successful candidate will lead a pioneering research line at the intersection of neuroimmunology, stem cell biology, and neurodegeneration, contribute to the setup and optimization of novel xenotransplantation models, and collaborate with both local and international partners.

Responsibilities include supervising junior colleagues, contributing to grant writing, and disseminating findings through high-impact publications. Applicants must have a PhD in neuroscience, immunology, stem cell biology, or a related field, with 4–10 years of research experience, proven expertise in Parkinson’s disease models and iPSC-derived in vivo systems, and experience with mouse models (FELASA B or C required). Experience with advanced imaging/omics and CRISPR/Cas9 technology is advantageous.

The position offers a two-year contract, competitive salary and benefits, full reimbursement for public transport, bike allowance, eco-cheques, and professional development opportunities. The planned start date is January 1, 2026, and most work will be conducted at Campus Drie Eiken in Antwerp. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV with publications, and contact information for two references via the University of Antwerp’s online application platform.

For more information, candidates can visit the research center and lab websites. The University of Antwerp is committed to diversity and inclusion, encouraging applications from candidates of all backgrounds.

Funding details

ERC-funded full-time contract as a senior researcher for 2 years, competitive salary and benefits, reimbursement for public transport, bike allowance, eco-cheques, and professional development opportunities.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in neuroscience, immunology, stem cell biology, or a related discipline, with 4–10 years of research experience. Proven expertise in Parkinson’s disease models and iPSC-derived in vivo systems (xenotransplantation or related) is required. A strong publication record, independent research drive, and experience with mouse models (FELASA B or C required) are essential. Experience with advanced imaging/omics and CRISPR/Cas9 technology is a plus. Candidates should be team-oriented, innovative, and motivated to advance translational neuroimmunology. Research and teaching qualities must align with faculty and university policies.
