- You have programming skills in Python and R
- You are familiar with Web development technologies like Javascript, and linked data technologies like RDF, OWL, SPARQL and others
- You have demonstrated experience with health data types (genomics, proteomics, imaging data &/ e-health) and management platforms (SQL, MongoDB &/ preferably Solid).
- You have expertise in server-side development and database management
- You have demonstrated familiarity with Clinical & Health Data Ontologies (HL7, FHIR, OMOP )
- Next to that you are capable of motivating and connecting with/to people in different research domains and have the ability to see the “bigger picture” as well as not missing crucial “details” in implementation.

It is a plus if you have experience with
- Clinical trials or translational research studies
- SOLID infrastructure building
- Biobank systems and data models
- Information security and privacy aspects
- Backend development (Django, Flask ) along with Object-Relation Mapping (ORM) systems(SQLAlchemy)
- Interest in Generative AI (ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot )

**Compensation**:
You will join a dynamic and highly international research group (6+ nationalities). You will collaborate with scientists, statisticians, bioinformaticians, modelers and clinical experts with expertise in different disciplines. You will have the opportunity to follow high quality courses offered by both
Belgian and Dutch Universities as well as VITO Career Development Center.
VITO is committed to Activity Based Working (ABW) which means our activities take us to the location and not the other way around. You can work from home, work remotely at one of our satellite offices (Antwerp-Berchem, Genk, Ghent or Ostend) or work on site at the Health Campus in Mol. You are expected to work at least 2 days per week on-site, with face-to-face contact with the rest of the PHG.
