University of Luxembourg

The University of Luxembourg aspires to be one of Europe’s most highly regarded universities with a distinctly international and interdisciplinary character. It fosters the cross-fertilisation of research and teaching, is relevant to its country, is known worldwide for its research and teaching in targeted areas, and is establishing itself as an innovative model for contemporary European Higher Education. The University`s core asset is its well-connected world-class academic staff which will attract the most motivated, talented and creative students and young researchers who will learn to enjoy taking up challenges and develop into visionary thinkers able to shape society.

Within the University, the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is a highly interdisciplinary research centre (IC), integrating experimental biology and computational biology approaches in order to develop the foundation of a future predictive, preventive and personalized medicine.

The Integrative Cell Signalling group is currently involved in several projects in the areas of systems biology and mechanistic modelling of brain dynamics in health and disease and is looking for a scientific management support.

The general approach of the group is to combine state-of-the-art imaging and single cell techniques with mechanistic modelling and bioinformatics analyses to investigate the emergent behaviour of cells and the brain. The major interests are signalling pathways related to neurodegeneration and epileptogenesis for which differentiation dynamics of patient derived induced pluripotent stem cells and brain dynamics of zebrafish are investigated and integrated by multiscale modelling.

At the LCSB we are passionate about what we do. Because of our continued expansion, we seek qualified candidates who share our vision, values, and commitment for future medicine. The successful candidate will be proactive, reliable, diplomatic, and a team player. The ability to work in a fast-paced international academic environment with strong attention to detail is essential.
