Luxembourg Université du Luxembourg Temps plein

The newly recruited professor will join the LCSB - an interdisciplinary research centre within the University of Luxembourg. At LCSB we accelerate biomedical research by closing the link between systems biology and medical research. Collaborations between biologists, medical doctors, computer scientists, physicists, engineers and mathematicians offer new insights in complex systems essential for understanding principal mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and for developing new tools in diagnostics and therapy. The focus of the LCSB is on neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular interest in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, with the willingness to expand the scope of neurodegenerative diseases covered. With this position, the LCSB would like to strengthen its experimental research pillar and in particular the use of animal as well as cellular models. The LCSB is seeking to recruit a Professor who has a strong background in Neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation, and ideally the adaptive immune system. The latter will complement the existing expertise and research environment at the LCSB and ideally allow to expand our knowledge around this branch of immunity in the area of neurodegenerative disease. Very recent and rapidly increasing evidence suggests that peripheral immune cells including lymphocytes and NK cells play an important contributing role in several neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Both applicants working with animal models and those studying neuroinflammation and/or the adaptive immune systems in cellular models (or a mixture of both) will be considered.

**Your Role...**:
As an Associate Professor at the University of Luxembourg you will:

- Conduct research at the highest scientific level
- Set up and develop your own research group in the field of neuroimmunology, focusing on neuroinflammation and/or adaptive immunity
- Be responsible for establishing a competitive research programme in neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation in models of neurodegeneration
- Lead interdisciplinary research by reaching out to the experimental, computational and clinical research groups within the collaborative environment of the University and LCSB
- Interact and collaborate with other groups within the Luxembourg and the international research community
- Be engaged in teaching courses for the Bachelor and Master Programmes in Systems Biology and upcoming medical education program as well as supervising and training of PhD students and mentoring of postdocs

**What we expect from you**:

- A Ph.D. in relevant field with documented background in neuroscience and/or immunology
- An excellent research record in neuroimmunology proven by high-level publications, conference presentations, and participation in international research collaborations
- Experience in in vivo modelling of neurodegenerative disorders including e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Huntington’s disease
- Experience in animal studies as well as design and conduct of experiments - practice with different animal models is a plus
- Proven expert knowledge of the principles, regulations and professional ethics related to animal biomedical research including necessary qualification and training certificates (FELASA or equivalent)
- Experience with translational research, including working with patient samples and patient-derived iPSCs
- Experience in interdisciplinary research, systems and computational biology and/or willingness to emerge in this highly interdisciplinary environment
- Proven leadership skills, including personnel and budget management skills
- Experience in acquiring and managing research projects
- Teaching experience at the undergraduate and the postgraduate level as well as supervisory skills
- Strong interpersonal and communications skills
- The University of Luxembourg is set in a multilingual context. The person hired on this position must be proficient in English and either French or German. The University encourages its staff to learn the other language and provides access to language courses to this end

**We offer...**:

- Fully funded position with competitive remuneration and attractive group budget
- Highly engaged and motivated staff in a positive and dynamic international and interdisciplinary working environment
- Access to state-of-the-art animal facilities: New rodent facility opened in 2018 (including SOPF breeding area, SPF experimental areas and Germ-free units) and the aquatic facility opened in 2016 equipped with cutting-edge semi-automated installations
- Access to a state-of-the art platforms including imaging, metabolomics, sequencing and bioinformatics

**In Short...**:

- Contract Type: The position at the Associate Professor level follows University of Luxembourg’s promotion-track career scheme and a possibility of promotion to Full Professor will be given after 5 years upon positive evaluation
