Postdoctoral researcher in Neurodegeneration

at  Universit du Luxembourg

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character. The University was founded in 2003 and counts more than 6,700 students and more than 2,000 employees from around the world. The University focuses among others on cross-disciplinary research in the areas of Data Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine. Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its “international outlook,” #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.
Within the University, the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is a highly interdisciplinary research centre (IC), integrating experimental biology and computational biology approaches in order to develop the foundation of a future predictive, preventive and personalized medicine.

The LCSB is strategically extending its international collaboration network and has in this context allocated funding to further develop bridges with internationally renowned centres of excellence in neurodegeneration research. It is funding several bridging post-doc positions between a research group at the LCSB and a research group at a partner institution in Europe.
The selected post-doctoral researcher will perform research both at the LCSB and at the partner institution and will thus have regular stays at the partner laboratory. He/she will act as a bridge to foster the collaboration as well as regular exchanges between the researchers on both sites. The selected project will focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and/or in developing new avenues for diagnostic or therapeutic interventions in neurodegenerative diseases.
