Vacancies
Postdoc in the field of cell death and inflammation, VIB Inflammation Research Center, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium
The research group on Cell Death and Inflammation in the skin is studying different aspects of skin biology, including keratinocyte differentiation, and molecules involved in homeostasis and pathology of the skin. The research group is part of the Inflammation Research Center at the VIB and Ghent University.
Currently we have a job opening for a Postdoctoral fellow to investigate the involvement of peroxisomes and peroxisomal mediators in different models of skin inflammation. This knowledge may lead to the development of new experimental treatment strategies for skin inflammatory diseases.
The work will involve making use of cutting edge methods, including recombinant DNA technology, cell culture, analysis of gene and protein expression, use of transgenic and knockout mice, skin inflammation models.
Principal Investigator positions, VIB Inflammation Research Center, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium
The IRC seeks applicants for two positions of principal investigator. The principal investigators are expected to establish an autonomous, internationally recognized research program in the broad field of inflammation, complementary and interacting with the other research groups at the IRC. They are also expected to apply for external support (e.g. ERC grant). Candidates (MD, PhD) with an interest in medical or industrial applications of their research are particularly welcome. The IRC seeks to increase the number of female scientists at a leading level, and encourages female candidates to apply.
Applications should be sent by July 1st, 2014 to Prof. Bart Lambrecht, Director (coordination@irc.vib-UGent.be)
PhD student in the field of cell death and inflammation, VIB Inflammation Research Center, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium
The Molecular Signaling and Cell Death Unit, headed by Prof. Dr. Peter Vandenabeele at the Inflammation Research Center at the VIB and Ghent University, has currently a job opening for a PhD student to investigate the interaction of cells undergoing apoptosis, immunogenic apoptosis and regulated necrosis with the innate and adaptive immune system. This knowledge will lead to the development of new experimental treatment strategies for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The research unit of Prof. Dr. Peter Vandenabeele consists of more than 30 enthusiastic people working in the field of cell death and inflammation. You will be working in a subgroup, led by a senior postdoctoral scientist, Dr. Dmitri Krysko. The work will involve making use of cutting edge methods, including recombinant DNA technology, cell culture, analysis of gene and protein expression, anti-tumor vaccination, use of transgenic and knockout mice, flow cytometry, in vitro phagocytosis assay, and chemotaxis assays.
