About the Role

Description
VIB.AI, the VIB Center for AI & Computational Biology, is a young research center dedicated to combining machine learning with in-depth knowledge of biological processes. Our mission is to study fundamental problems in biology and work towards foundation models of biological systems and innovative AI-driven biotech applications.
The Laboratory of Computational Biology in Leuven (www.aertslab.org), led by VIB.AI Scientific Director Stein Aerts, is seeking a talented postdoctoral researcher to develop next-generation sequence-to-function models for glioblastoma (GBM). Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of brain cancer, characterized by diverse and dynamic cell states that drive treatment resistance and poor prognosis.
In this project, funded by the Foundation Against Cancer, you will move beyond descriptive genomics to decipher the underlying regulatory logic of GBM. By leveraging single-cell multi-omics (scATAC-seq, scRNA-seq) and spatial omics, you will map ...
