The VIB Center for Molecular Neurology at The University of Antwerp is looking for a **full-time (100%) senior researcher/postdoc** **in the laboratory for gut-immune-brain axis research**

**Position**

The Laboratory for Gut-Immune-Brain Axis Research at the VIB-Center for Molecular Neurology is a newly established and expanding research group led by Dr. Sebastiaan De Schepper. The lab focuses on how the peripheral immune system shapes the brain immune landscape in health and disease, with a particular emphasis on tissue-resident macrophages along the gut-brain axis. We use various transgenic mouse models in combination with immunophenotyping tools and -omic techniques to uncover the molecular mechanisms through which the gut-immuno-brain axis can contribute to neuropathology.

**Key responsibilities**
- Conduct in-depth research on how the peripheral immune system modulates the gut-brain axis and brain homeostasis in health and disease.
- Investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which immune cells travel from the gut to the brain, using advanced immunophenotyping, fate mapping, and -omic approaches.
- Collaborate with team members to analyze and integrate spatial transcriptomics and proteomics data.
- Designing and leading your research project, but with sufficient guidance and mentoring
- Engage in collaborative projects within the lab and across the VIB community, contributing to lab meetings, journal clubs, and collaborative publications.

**Profile**
- PhD in immunology, neuroscience, molecular biology, or related discipline
- Expertise in immune cell phenotyping and strong interest in immune cell trafficking gut, brain or gut-brain neuroimmunology
- Proven experience with transgenic mouse models and techniques like flow cytometry and microscopy
- Experience with -omic approaches and computational tools for data analysis is desirable
- Solid publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
- Excellent teamwork, communication skills, and a commitment to advancing the field of neuroimmunology.
- have excellent communication and writing skills in English

**What we offer**
- Access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources to support cutting-edge research.
- Opportunities to collaborate with top researchers in neurodegeneration, immunology and neurogenetics
- If you are hired as a senior researcher:

- Your gross monthly salary is calculated according to the pay scale for a principal research fellow in the Contract Research Staff category (Dutch: _Bijzonder Academisch Personeel_, BAP).
- You will receive ecocheques, Internet-connectivity allowance, a group insurance, an income protection insurance, and a bicycle allowance or a full reimbursement of public transport costs for commuting.

- Your monthly scholarship amount is calculated according to the scholarship amounts for postdoctoral scholarship holders on the pay scales for Contract Research Staff (Dutch: _Bijzonder Academisch Personeel_, BAP).
- You will receive ecocheques, Internet-connectivity allowance and a bicycle allowance or a full reimbursement of public transport costs for commuting.
- Various high level training opportunities to broaden your expertise and skills
- Professional development through regular mentorship, training opportunities, and collaborative projects
- The planned starting date is 1 March 2025
