Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Systems Biology on project (m/f) : Luxembourg, Luxembourg

The University of Luxembourg is a multilingual, international research University.

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) was created within the Health Technologies Initiative from the Government of Luxembourg as one of the research priorities of the University of Luxembourg. The LCSB is an Interdisciplinary Centre of the University, independent of the faculties and it combines experimental and computational approaches to analyze complex biological systems and disease processes from a systems biology perspective.

The Computational Biology Group (CBG) provides the LCSB with a solid infrastructure in developing theoretical framework for computational modeling on biomedical problems, especially in the area of network biology. The CBG group includes researchers with theoretical, computational and wet lab backgrounds, thereby providing an unusual interdisciplinary environment.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Systems Biology on project (m/f)

• Réf : 50012313 (RegeneraNet) (R-AGR-0703-10-C)
• Fixed-term contract of 12 months (with possibility of renewal depending on the postdoctoral researcher’s performance and funding)
• Full time position (40h/p.w.)
• Employee status

Role :

The Computational Biology Group seeks a highly skilled and motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on an exciting project on the application of network biology approaches to study the role of transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in salamander limb regeneration.

In particular, the selected candidate shall develop a computational model that integrates gene regulatory networks with signaling pathways using transcriptome data generated from regenerating salamander limbs over different time points in order to gain a systems level understanding of this process.

Predictions generated by the computational models will be experimentally validated in collaboration with Prof. Elly Tanaka’s lab at the IMP Research Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna.
