About us

The VIB-KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience is part of the VIB Life Sciences Institute and embedded within the University of Leuven. We are now recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Flemish Cognitive Compass Project, a multidisciplinary collaboration between VIB and the Universities of Leuven, Ghent and Antwerp. The project aims to improve early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and to identify novel pathways and targets for disease‑modifying therapies.

About the role

We are seeking to recruit a postdoctoral researcher to establish an iPSC biobank for Alzheimer’s disease research and to drive in vitro drug target and mechanistic discovery efforts using 3D triple culture system based on iPSCs. The cell lines will be derived from participants of the Flemish Cognitive Compass who show genotypes and biomarker phenotypes relevant to Alzheimer’s disease.
