Postdoctoral technologist Single-Cell Multi-Omics

We are looking for an engineer or interdisciplinary scientist with expertise in single-cell (multi-)omics method development to join a multi-disciplinary team headed by Prof. Thierry Voet at the KU Leuven Institute for Single Cell Omics (LISCO). As a postdoctoral technologist, you will lead and drive single-cell multi-omics method development and play a crucial role in technology innovation, data generation and analysis.

About us:
The landscape of biology and medicine is undergoing a transformation through single-cell and spatial omics (SCS-omics) technologies. LISCO stands at the forefront of this revolution, actively reshaping our understanding of the biology of cells in health and disease. Our aim is to pioneer innovation, application and clinical translation of SCS-omics technologies, together with the University Hospitals (UZ Leuven) as well as industry. Using cutting-edge SCS-omics, we are committed to unravelling the complexities of human development, ageing, and disease biology, with therapeutic potential in the clinic.
