Description:

The VIB Center for Cancer Biology (CCB) and the KU Leuven department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (CMM), are recruiting a group leader in Functional Cancer Genomics at located at the Campus Gasthuisberg in Leuven, Belgium.
VIB is an entrepreneurial and vibrant non-profit research institute in Flanders-Belgium with a clear focus on groundbreaking research in life sciences. More than 1500 scientists and technologists from over 60 countries are working in 10 thematic research centers located at the 5 Flemish Universities of Ghent, Leuven, Antwerp, Hasselt & Brussels and are studying the broad spectrum of molecular mechanisms that regulate the functions of the human body. VIB encourages and supports risk-taking, and enables collaborations with top scientists and institutes worldwide. By maintaining the highest standards of research, VIB creates an innovative atmosphere and provides a supportive and collegial environment that allows the scientists to launch novel and ambitious research programs and encourages them to translate results into novel therapeutics, diagnostics, applications and technologies.
The VIB Center for Cancer Biology (CCB) currently hosts more than 240 scientists in 14 independent research groups and units who work on various hallmarks of tumors and their microenvironment including angiogenesis, inflammation, metabolism, genetic, epigenetic regulating circuits and cancer immunology. Together we share the ambition to contribute to a better understanding of the biology that underlies cancer initiation, progression and metastatic dissemination with the ultimate goal to develop more effective and specific anti-cancer (combination) therapies.
The KU Leuven Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (CMM) encompasses 18 research groups that explore the molecular mechanisms of disease: basic cellular and molecular processes and their (patho)physiological effects, as well as their implications in various human diseases. CMM combines expertise in techniques of biochemistry, electrophysiology, molecular biology, cell imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics and animal-model development to acquire novel insights into cellular signaling and communication processes. Major areas of research include signaling by ions, lipids and protein phosphorylation, chromatin structure and function, protein structure, (mis)folding and transport and cell metabolism, death, autophagy and differentiation.
