Post-Doctoral Position in Stem Cell Metabolomics

Our research group is part of the de Duve Institute, a multi-disciplinary and international biomedical research institute of the UCLouvain in Brussels. We aim at understanding the role of metabolic pathways in controlling the function of hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia cells, in order to provide new therapeutic opportunities for hematological disorders, regenerative medicine and cancer.

Your mission

We are looking for an ambitious candidate to pursue an exciting post-doc project in our lab, aiming at understanding how hematopoietic and leukemic stem cell function are regulated by cellular metabolism by making use of advanced mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analysis. 

Your qualifications and skills

• A PhD in Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Bioengineering, Biomedical sciences, Cancer Research, Molecular/Cellular Biology, or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with operating high-resolution LC-MS instruments (e.g. Q-Tof, Orbitrap) and development of mass spectrometry-based assays is absolutely essential.
• You are proactive, quality-oriented, have a strong interest for biomedicine and fundamental research, and are ready to commit for a challenging project.
• A good command of English (spoken and written), good communication skills, and ability to design, perform and analyze experiments independently as well as in a team are necessary. 

What we offer

A two-year postdoc fellowship, renewable. Candidates are encouraged to apply for their own fellowship, if possible. You will join a young and dynamic team, and have the opportunity to work on high impact projects in a multidisciplinary environment with excellent training conditions. We aspire to create a lab culture where all feel welcome, regardless of age, race, gender or cultural background.
