PhD and Postdoctoral Positions in Cancer Biology and Computational Biology at Université Libre de Bruxelles Université Libre de Bruxelles in Canada

The Cancer Ecosystems and Metastasis Lab (CEMLab) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) is recruiting for two open positions in Brussels, Belgium: a Postdoctoral researcher in Cancer Biology and a PhD student or Postdoctoral researcher in Computational Biology.

The lab, led by Panagiotis Karras, studies cancer metastasis, tumor heterogeneity, and cellular plasticity using mouse models, clinical samples, and multi-omics approaches, including single-cell and spatial technologies. The research environment is strongly translational and includes close interaction with clinicians at the Institut Jules Bordet.

Research areas / keywords: cancer biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, multi-omics, tumor microenvironment, cancer datasets, programming (Python/R), mouse models, translational oncology.

Eligibility highlights: The wet-lab profile requires a PhD in biomedical sciences or a related field, experience in molecular and cellular biology, and hands-on experience with mouse models. The bioinformatics profile requires a PhD or equivalent experience in computational biology/bioinformatics, experience with single-cell and multi-omics data, strong programming skills in Python and/or R, and experience with cancer datasets. Strong experience in cancer biology is essential.

Funding / contract: The position offers a 2-year contract with the possibility of extension. No stipend amount is specified in the post.
