Postdoctoral scientist – computational biology Single-cell genomics and transcriptomics and two other positions open @ SymbioSys, Belgium

SymbioSys is a team of computational biologists, molecular biologists and (cyto)geneticists at the University of Leuven (Belgium) focusing on the detection of individual genomic variation, how it arises and leads to specific types of constitutional disorders and cancer. 

The candidates will be key players in managing single-cell array and sequencing work and will actively engage in the EU FP7 funded projectSARM, a Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnership between researchers from the Competence Center on Reproductive Medicine and Biology (coordinator, Estonia), University of Leuven (Belgium), the University of Tartu (Estonia), The Karolinska Institute (Sweden) and Iviomics (Spain). The project aims on the development and application of massive parallel sequencing-based methodology to detect genetic variants in single-cell genomes as well as to capture transcriptomes derived from individual cells of human preimplantation stage embryos to unravel the mechanisms of genomic instability during the first cell cycles of human life. Technology will be developed to combine time-laps microscopy of human preimplantation embryo development with state-of-the-art single-cell analyses. Additionally, the candidates will be involved in the development of novel approaches for preimplantation genetic diagnosis guided by single-cell genomics assays, genome-wide single-cell haplotyping in particular. We are embedded in the Center for Human genetics with a strong background in cytogenetics and embryo preimplantation genetic research.
