Offer Description

The NanoBiophysics Lab at UCLouvain is seeking a dynamic and motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a multidisciplinary team investigating tumor-immune system interactions through a biophysical lens. This project aims to understand how biophysical properties of the tumor microenvironment influence immune cell behavior, with the ultimate goal of identifying new therapeutic strategies to counteract tumor-induced immunosuppression.

The successful candidate will combine molecular biology, immunological assays, and cutting-edge biophysical techniques to explore how immune cells sense and respond to tumor-associated signals. The research will involve fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and advanced imaging approaches to characterize immune phenotypes and their mechanical, structural, and molecular interactions within the tumor microenvironment.

Qualifications

  • A PhD in biophysics, molecular biology, immunology, cancer biology, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience with FACS and standard molecular biology techniques (e.g., PCR, ELISA, RNA sequencing).
  • A strong background in immunological assays and immune cell phenotyping.
  • Experience with biophysical methods (e.g., AFM, optical tweezers, single-cell force spectroscopy, or microfluidics) is a strong plus.
  • Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills.

Application

To apply, please send the following documents as a single PDF file to Prof. David Alsteens:

  • A cover letter describing your research interests and qualifications.
  • A detailed CV, including a list of publications.
  • Contact details of at least three references.

Important: Please include "Application to Postdoc in Biophysics of Immune-Cancer Interactions" in the subject line of your email.

For inquiries about the position, please contact Professor David Alsteens.

Join us in applying cutting-edge biophysical approaches to unravel the mechanisms of immune regulation in cancer and contribute to innovative therapeutic solutions.
