About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher in Translational Cancer Bioinformatics at the University of Luxembourg (Belval Campus), working jointly with the Letellier and Tejpar laboratories on colorectal cancer (CRC) and the tumor microenvironment.

The project focuses on cancer bioinformatics, single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), epithelial plasticity, immune responses, and therapy resistance. The postdoc will help decode stromal–epithelial crosstalk and the evolution of CAF subtypes using advanced experimental models, patient-derived tissue cohorts, co-culture organoid assays, and in vivo systems.

Responsibilities include coordinating TARGET-SEQ experiments, conducting bioinformatics analyses, implementing new tools, documenting results, presenting data in consortium meetings and publications, and contributing to lab activities. The role is highly collaborative and benefits from access to clinical trial data and interdisciplinary support across research groups and clinical partners.

Eligibility highlights: PhD in Biological Sciences, Data Science, Computational Biology, or a related field; strong R and scripting skills (Python preferred); biostatistics; experience with single-cell sequencing and preferably spatial omics; HPC experience; understanding of cancer biology, immunology, cell biology, and molecular biology; strong publication record; excellent English (C1).

Funding: fixed-term full-time postdoctoral contract for 24 months with a yearly gross salary of EUR 87,306.

How to apply: Apply online via the HR system. Upload a CV, motivation letter, PhD diploma or expected defense date, transcript, publication list, and two referees. Email applications are not accepted. Early application is encouraged.
