About this position

Postdoctoral position in Biochemistry & Cell Biology at the de Duve Institute, UCLouvain, Brussels, Belgium.

The Assi Lab is recruiting for a multidisciplinary postdoc project on how the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates signaling programs and transcriptional/cofactor stabilization in cancer cells. The work combines protein biochemistry, cell biology, cancer biology, CRISPR screens, 3D organotypic culture, proteomics, and mouse modeling.

This is an initial two-year postdoctoral fellowship with the possibility of renewal. The candidate will also be supported to apply for their own fellowship, including Belgian postdoctoral funding opportunities after one year (UCLouvain FSR, National Fund for Scientific Research, Belgian Foundation Against Cancer).

Eligibility highlights: PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular/Cellular Biology, or equivalent; international candidate who recently obtained the PhD outside Belgium; must not have worked or resided in Belgium in the last two years; strong interest in protein stability/degradation, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and cancer biology; hands-on experience in protein biochemistry, cell culture, and molecular cloning; strong English and ability to work independently and in a team.

Workplace: Brussels, Belgium. Start date: 01/10/2026. Deadline: 30/08/2026.
