Multidisciplinary PhD position for an engineer/physicist on the
characterization and modeling of cellular migration


The Laboratory of Tumor and Development Biology at the University of
Liège, Belgium (Prof. Agnès Noël, Giga-Cancer) has an opening for a
quantitatively-minded PhD candidate to work on the characterization of
cellular patterns and on the modeling of cell migration. The laboratory
focuses on the fundamental and therapeutic research about the manifold
cellular processes involved in cancer development.

This PhD project entails the development of 2D and 3D microscopy
protocols as well as of specific image and data analysis for
characterizing cellular patterns observed in biological in vivo and in
vitro models. The modeling of the physicochemical aspects of the
underlying phenomena will also be considered. 

The ideal candidate will have a Master in Physics or Engineering, with a
taste for creative scientific programming. The candidate will be
supervised by senior scientific staff with a background in physics and
engineering (Dr. Silvia Blacher and Dr. Cedric Gommes), but she/he
should also have the drive and social skills required to interacting
daily with the experimental biologists in the lab.

Although this is a four-year position, the successful completion of a
PhD could lead to longer-term career prospects in a world-renown
research group.

The position starts in October 1st 2016. Interested candidates should
send their résumé and application letter to Prof. Agnès Noël
(agnes.noel at ulg.ac.be) no later than September 15th.
