About this position
The University of Luxembourg, a leading international research university, is offering a postdoctoral position in molecular biology at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB). The LCSB is renowned for its interdisciplinary research in systems biology and biomedicine, with a particular focus on neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, as well as epilepsy. The successful candidate will join the Integrative Cell Signalling Group, led by Professor Alexander Skupin, which specializes in multiscale analysis of brain disorders using both experimental and computational approaches.
This postdoctoral role centers on research into Parkinson's disease, utilizing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to characterize molecular impairments associated with the condition. The position offers the opportunity to become an active member of a dynamic and collaborative lab environment, working alongside scientists from diverse disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. The LCSB fosters a truly interdisciplinary culture, contributing to both scientific advancement and societal impact.
The University of Luxembourg provides a modern, multilingual, and international setting, with staff from over 90 countries and strong connections to the business world, local government, and European institutions. The position is based at Campus Belval, offering excellent infrastructure and high-quality equipment. The university is committed to inclusivity and encourages applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
Applicants must hold a PhD in molecular biology, systems biomedicine, or a related field, with demonstrated expertise in iPSC biology. Experience with Parkinson's disease research is advantageous. Candidates should possess strong collaborative skills and be able to work effectively in an interdisciplinary team. The contract is for a fixed term of 8 months, with a yearly gross salary of EUR 83,099 for full-time postdoctoral researchers.
To apply, candidates should submit their application online via the University of Luxembourg HR system, including a CV, cover letter, and contact information and recommendation letters from at least two referees. Early applications are encouraged, as review will begin upon receipt. Email applications will not be considered.
