About VIB

VIB is an excellence-based research institute dedicated to high-impact life sciences research and world-class technology transfer. VIB Scientists pursue basic molecular life-science research with a strong focus on translating scientific breakthroughs into novel technologies, new diagnostics, innovative medicines and improved crops and nutritional products, through close cooperation with industry. Our institute greatly values diverse standpoints and promotes an inclusive environment in which everyone is respected.

VIB is currently looking for a qualified and motivated Single Cell Technology Specialist.

The Technology Watch Team at VIB is continuously analyzing the potential of emerging and disruptive technologies to advance research at VIB.

In early 2018, VIB Tech Watch launched the Single Cell Accelerator (SCA), an institutional program to ensure that VIB remains at the forefront of the cutting-edge Single Cell field. The SCA focuses on the evaluation, implementation and development of breakthrough single-cell technologies. Areas of great interest include scCRISPR screens, spatial omics and emerging single cell sequencing technologies.

To this end, we are looking for a motivated Single Cell Technology Specialist to work with the VIB PIs.
