Postdoctoral Position in the Computational Neurobiology Lab

The Computational Neurobiology Lab at the VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology is seeking a postdoctoral scientist to study the regulatory mechanisms underlying cell-type specific switching of alternative gene isoforms in different types of dementia. The role involves investigating the role of spatial chromatin organization in cell fate acquisition and maintenance, using targeted and genome-wide profiling technologies, and developing statistical and machine learning approaches for multimodal data integration and cis-regulatory network reconstruction. The project is generously supported by the Alzheimer’s Association and aims to bridge the gap in understanding the mechanisms regulating alternative transcription start and termination site choice across neurodegenerative diseases.
