ABOUT US…

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University of Luxembourg. We conduct fundamental and translational research in the field of Systems Biology and Biomedicine - in the lab, in the clinic and in silico. We focus on neurodegeneration and are especially interested in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and their contributing factors.
The LCSB recruits talented scientists from various disciplines. Computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists and clinicians from more than 50 countries currently work at the LCSB. We excel because we are truly interdisciplinary and together, we contribute to science and society.
Successful candidates will join the Bioinformatics Core, led by Prof. Reinhard Schneider, which focuses on managing and analysing complex biomedical and clinical data. We are internationally recognized for our cutting-edge data handling, analysis and mining including GDPR compliant data hosting solutions, data management systems and high performance and throughput approaches. We develop innovative methodologies for data mining, federated data analysis, and data FAIRification. We strongly advocate following responsible and reproducible research (R3) principles and best practices in software development. For more information, please visit our website.
We are looking for a Bioinformatician to analyse high throughput single and bulk cell RNA sequencing datasets, spatial transcriptomics and multi-omics (metabolomics and proteomics) datasets. The Bioinformatician will interact with scientific researchers, post-doctoral fellows and research technicians of the different groups at the LCSB to explore and analyze large and heterogenous datasets in the area of neurogenerative diseases, especially Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases.

• Participate in research activities involved in the analysis of multiomics data sets including next-generation sequencing, single cell/nuclear transcriptomics, bulk RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics datasets
• Coordinate data handling and analysis for multi-omics data
• Participate as a team member in experimental design and data analysis
• Coordinate publications related to the project and scientific results
• Work in close collaboration with LCSB members on scientific projects
