VIB, Center for Molecular Neurology, Antwerp, Belgium

The vision of the Center is to grow substantially in the next 5 year and to invest in a collaborative research environment focused on team-science. Together, we will aim to use innovative clinical, genetic, computational, and functional biology approaches to define the molecular causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases and their key disease-modifying pathways, and to translate neuroscience discoveries into more precise diagnoses and treatment options for patients. As part of a major investment at VIB-UAntwerp to address new challenges in the area of translational genomics and personalized medicine, we are particularly seeking a candidate with a primary interest in neurodegenerative disorders with expertise in the discovery of biomarkers and translational research projects. We look for candidates at the junior to senior level with a track record of important contributions to the field of neuroscience that have research plans and a scientific vision that complements those of the faculty at the Center, creating synergies and opportunities for collaboration.
