Leuven, Belgique VIB Temps plein

**Job description**:
We are seeking a postdoc to join the Pereira Lab for an interdisciplinary project that integrates structural bioinformatics, protein evolution, complex network analysis, and deep learning. The main aim is to develop interdisciplinary and integrative tools and approaches to better interpret the massive and ever-growing protein sequence, structure, and function data in public repositories.

This includes, but is not limited to:

- the classification and function prediction of novel protein families and superfamilies,
- the interpretation of evolutionary relationships in large protein similarity networks,
- the prediction and modeling of protein function association networks,

**Who we are**:
**Profile**:

- PhD in structural bioinformatics, computational biology, computer sciences, or related disciplines
- You can strengthen our team in at least two of the following areas: protein bioinformatics, protein evolution, metagenomics, computational protein design, data science
- Experience and interest in modern data analytics techniques and AI/ML
- Good communication skills in English
- Self-motivation, drive and ability to define new research directions
- Open to working in interdisciplinary collaborations with experimental labs

We aim to build an interdisciplinary team and value diversity in skill sets. We thus encourage applicants with a keen interest in contributing to groundbreaking research at the intersection of protein bioinformatics and machine learning to apply.

As the Pereira Lab is just starting, the postdoc will also play a prominent leadership role and will help to shape the overall lab environment and research direction.

**We offer**:

- State-of-the-art computing and wet-lab facilities
- An exciting work environment in a top, newly established research institute
- A stimulating and supportive international research environment
- VIB provides competitive salary and benefits, as well as participation in national social security, healthcare, and retirement plans

**How to apply?**:
The ideal starting date is March or April 2025, with a starting contract of 2 years, and the possibility of an extension.
- A cover/motivation letter stating career goals, past experience, and how these relate to the current position and the goals of the Pereira Lab
- Your CV
- Contact information of 2 references
