Job Details

About the Lab The lab of Jeroen Raes (VIB, KU Leuven) is home to a vibrant, dynamic and international group of researchers in the field of gut microbial ecology and its clinical applications. Beyond our expertise in bioinformatics and metagenomic analysis we offer hands-on clinical experience through cohort studies.

Furthermore, the lab also hosts state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to the cultivation and analysis of colon bacteria in order to study their physiology, function and interactions. We are also a member of VIB.AI, the newly founded center for artificial intelligence applications in the life sciences and have access to its state-of-the-art high-throughput computing facilities.

Profile

We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher interested in studying human-associated microbial communities in health and disease. The ideal candidate has the following qualifications:

A PhD degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, human microbiota, microbiology or other relevant areas and/or comparable expertise (e.g from industry).

Demonstrated expertise in omics data analysis, for example with (meta)genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, single cell and/or genotyping data. Microbial expertise is a plus but not required.

Experience in molecular biology techniques for processing and analysis of DNA and RNA is a plus but no requirement.

Microbiology techniques and microfluidics are a plus but no requirement.

We value diversity in skill sets and encourage applicants with a keen interest in contributing to groundbreaking research at the intersection of bioinformatics, microbiome science and human health.
