(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title:  Postdoctoral scientist neuroimmune organoid platform for fundamental and translational dementia research

Over the last decade, organoids emerged as an attractive middle ground between 2D cell cultures, which do not fully recapitulate the 3D environment and animal models, which pose technical and ethical limits. In particular, cerebral organoids are emerging as the next step in patient-derived in vitro models for both neurodevelopmental as well as neurodegenerative diseases. However, cerebral organoids have mostly been based on neuronal cells alone, while evidence increases that the role of non-neuronal types (microglia, astrocytes, endothelial cells) is critical in these conditions. Integration of these cell types will more closely mimic the in vivo cellular environment in health and disease and constitutes the major challenge of this project. The established neuroimmune organoid technology will find a wide range of applications as models for studying fundamental mechanisms underlying cellular biology and genetic pathophysiology as well as for efficient drug screening. The recruited postdoc would lead on this challenge and would be offered an opportunity to shape the application scope of the developed technology to advance the science of all research groups at the Center.

(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc summary/title: Postdoctoral researcher development of approaches for the assessment of endocrine disruptors

  • Your main task will consist of supporting the development of Integrated Approaches for Testing and Assessment (IATAs) for thyroid hormone system disruption (THSD) in the context of the European PARC project (Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals, https://www.eu-parc.eu), aimed at protecting both human health and the environment. This involves organizing, evaluating and integrating in silicoin vitro and in vivo methods for assessing THSD properties of chemicals using adverse outcome pathway (AOP)-based approaches in a way that allows addressing specific regulatory questions. Tasks include, amongst others, setting up and performing dedicated case studies to demonstrate regulatory relavance, AOP development for supporting the IATAs, performing literature searches, and writing reports and review papers.
  • The amount of personal lab work will be very limited. You will occasionally assist in the supervision of PhD and master thesis students who are working in these areas.
  • You will help writing new project proposals and contribute to attracting external funding.
  • You will participate in the general management and maintenance of the lab, and fish housekeeping duties including weekend duty.

About University of Antwerp, Belgium –Official Website

The University of Antwerp (Dutch: Universiteit Antwerpen) is a major Belgian university located in the city of Antwerp. The official abbreviation is UAntwerp. The University of Antwerp has about 20,000 students, which makes it the third-largest university in Flanders. The University of Antwerp is characterised by its high standards in education, internationally competitive research and entrepreneurial approach. It was founded in 2003 after the merger of three smaller universities.

The university’s roots go back to Sint-Ignatius Handelshogeschool (Saint-Ignatius School for Higher Education in Commerce) founded by the Jesuits (Society of Jesus) in Antwerp in 1852. This was one of the first European business schools to offer formal university degrees. It later opened a Faculty of Literature and Philosophy (including Law) and a Faculty of Political and Social Sciences. It was renamed Universitaire Faculteiten Sint-Ignatius Antwerpen (UFSIA) in the 1960s when the Belgian government granted it university status. In the early 1970s UFSIA joined into a confederation with “Rijksuniversitair Centrum Antwerpen” (RUCA) and “Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen” (UIA), public institutions.
