About the LCSB
The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University of Luxembourg.
We conduct fundamental and translational research in the field of Systems Biology and Biomedicine - in the lab, in the clinic and in silico . We focus on neurodegenerative processes and are especially interested in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and their contributing factors. The LCSB recruits talented scientists from various disciplines : computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists and clinicians from more than 50 countries currently work at the LCSB. We excel because we are truly interdisciplinary, and together we contribute to science and society.
Your role
The Developmental and Cellular Biology Group (led by Prof. Jens Schwamborn) at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine utilizes human stem cells for in vitro modeling of neurodegeneration disease. Projects in the lab are at the interface of systems biology and bio-medical research. In particular, we aim at developing novel, complex in vitro organoid and assembloid models for the human brain. Our main disease model is Parkinson's disease.
In this particular project, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher who is interested in the role of aged microglia in Parkinson's Disease.
Your profile
We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in human stem cell research, additionally proven experience in either high content imaging, multi electrode array technology or reprogramming of somatic cells into pluripotency is necessary. Experience in computational image analysis and aging research is a strong plus. A successful candidate should be willing to take leadership and responsibility for this demanding project. We are looking for highly motivated candidates who share our passion for research, are interested in acquiring new skills and wish to be part of an international team.
