Postdoctoral Fellow in Luxembourg, University of Luxembourg
Designation/Position- Postdoctoral Fellow in Luxembourg
University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg invites application for Postdoctoral Fellow in Luxembourg from eligible and interested candidates
About- The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) was created within the Health Technologies Initiative from the Government of Luxembourg as one of the research priorities of the University of Luxembourg. The LCSB is an Interdisciplinary Centre of the University, independent of the faculties and it combines experimental and computational approaches to analyze complex biological systems and disease processes from a systems biology perspective. The Computational Biology Group (CBG) provides the LCSB with a solid infrastructure in developing theoretical framework for computational modeling on biomedical problems, especially in the area of network biology. The CBG group includes researchers with theoretical, computational and wet lab backgrounds, thereby providing an unusual interdisciplinary environment. Postdoctoral Fellow in Luxembourg
