Data Scientist–Agentic Bioinformatics

The Bioinformatics and AI Expertise Unit at VIB–KU Leuven’s Center for Cancer Biology seeks a data scientist to develop and evaluate LLM-based tools for research. The role connects agents to analysis pipelines, high-performance computing, databases and research protocols, supporting multi-omics and spatial-data work. Responsibilities include assessing correctness, reproducibility and privacy on realistic tasks, deploying useful tools and helping researchers use them.

The researcher joins Masoomeh Rahimpour’s team and collaborates with Jonas Demeulemeester’s Integrative Cancer Genomics laboratory and VIB.AI.
