Détails de la société
The Breast Cancer Translational Research Laboratory (BCTL) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in bioinformatics and computational biology. Our lab has a long-standing experience in advancing the molecular characterization of breast cancer biology using cutting-edge omics technologies and is now expanding into bladder cancer research. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the translation of fundamental research findings into clinical applications. The BCTL is part of the Université Libre de Bruxelles and is located within the Jules Bordet institute, the only comprehensive cancer centre in Belgium.
Fonction
We are looking for an enthusiastic and independent researcher to lead projects focusing on the molecular characterization of breast and/or bladder cancer biology. The successful candidate will apply high-throughput omics techniques including spatial transcriptomics and single cell analysis to explore tumor heterogeneity, disease progression and treatment resistance. Additionally, the candidate will contribute to several translational research projects in the context of international clinical studies. The role includes close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, and bioinformaticians, as well as mentoring junior researchers.
Profil
We seek candidates who are passionate about cancer research and computational biology. The ideal candidate should have:
- A PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, (bio)engineering, or biostatistics.
- Strong expertise in NGS data analysis.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as R and Python/Perl.
- Familiarity with a UNIX/Linux computing environment.
- Excellent analytical and organizational skills.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a dynamic research setting.
- Fluency in English (knowledge of French is a plus).
