Job Description:

The Laboratory of Interneuron Developmental Dynamics (under Lynette Lim) is part of VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research and located on Campus Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium. Our main focus lies in understanding how inhibitory circuits in the brain are formed, particularly the generation and maturation of different inhibitory neuron populations to develop functional circuits. Combing various techniques like mouse genetics, high-content imaging, single-cell RNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and spatial transcriptomics, the selected postdoctoral fellow will lead novel screening approaches and analyze experimental outcomes. Collaboration with team members and lab partners is a key aspect of this role.

Profile:

Required
- Openness to learning new techniques and protocols
- Strong expertise in animal models would be advantageous

  • High level of meticulousness, proactivity, independence, and self-motivation
  • A team player with a sense of responsibility
  • Capability to contribute to grant or fellowship writing with the PI
  • Enthusiasm for being part of a vibrant and youthful research environment

Appreciated

  • Experience in single-cell or bulk DNA/RNA sequencing
  • Familiarity with machine learning image processing techniques
  • Knowledge in CRISPR/Cas9/Cas12a for human ES cell gene editing or in vivo screening designs

What We Offer:

  • Access to cutting-edge infrastructure
  • Guidance, supervision, and training to nurture the next generation of scientists, including transferable skills programs provided by the Lim lab, VIB, and KU Leuven
  • Exposure to innovative techniques like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, gene editing, and developmental neurobiology
  • Engaging international research setting
  • Flexible starting date, potentially as early as May 2024
