Group Leader Functional Cancer Genomics
Il y a 2 mois
The **VIB Center for Cancer Biology (CCB) **and the KU Leuven department of **Cellular and Molecular Medicine (CMM)**, are recruiting a group leader in Functional Cancer Genomics at located at the Campus Gasthuisberg in Leuven, Belgium.

Together we share the ambition to contribute to a better understanding of the biology that underlies cancer initiation, progression and metastatic dissemination with the ultimate goal to develop more effective and specific anti-cancer (combination) therapies.
The **KU Leuven Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine** (CMM) encompasses 18 research groups that explore the molecular mechanisms of disease: basic cellular and molecular processes and their (patho)physiological effects, as well as their implications in various human diseases. CMM combines expertise in techniques of biochemistry, electrophysiology, molecular biology, cell imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics and animal-model development to acquire novel insights into cellular signaling and communication processes. Major areas of research include signaling by ions, lipids and protein phosphorylation, chromatin structure and function, protein structure, (mis)folding and transport and cell metabolism, death, autophagy and differentiation.

- An employment package that is internationally attractive and that is independent of research funding and grants, with excellent health benefits.
- Substantial core research funding (€1.25M to €1.5M), renewable every 5 years.
- Access to excellent and staffed core facilities at CCB, at VIB and at KU Leuven.
- Broad administrative support in finance, HR, logistics, operations & regulatory affairs.
- Collaborative atmosphere with clinicians from the University Hospital UZ Leuven located on the same campus.
