Applications are invited for a full-time postdoctoral / PhD research position at the Functional Genomic Unit, Institut Jules Bordet, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium.
The vacancy available to be filled soon offers tenure of three years. The researcher is expected to carry out fundamental research in Bioinformatics and to take an active role in the applied research project which is funding the position.
The Functional Genomic Unit (FGU) is a research group that carries out basic and clinical research on breast cancer genetics. We use cutting-edge technologies, such that gene expression profiling and comparative genomic hybridization, in order to bring new insights in breast cancer biology and to develop new tools for clinical practice. We have strong collaborations with the Machine Learning Group, headed by Pr. Gianluca Bontempi in the Computer Science Department of ULB, and the NCCR Molecular Oncology Bioinformatics Group of the Institut Suisse de Recherche Experimentale sur le Cancer, headed by Pr. Mauro Delorenzi.
