The NanoBiophysics Lab at UCLouvain is seeking a dynamic and motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a multidisciplinary team investigating tumor-immune system interactions through a biophysical lens. This project aims to understand how properties of the tumor microenvironment influence immune cell behavior, with a focus on immune receptor and downstream signalling protein recruitment in different biophysical contexts. The ultimate goal is to identify new therapeutic strategies to counteract tumor-induced immunosuppression. 

The successful candidate will combine molecular biology, immunological assays, and cutting-edge biophysical techniques to explore how immune cells sense and respond to tumor-associated signals. The research will involve fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), confocal imaging and various biophysical techniques, to characterize immune phenotypes and their mechanical, structural, and molecular interactions within the tumor microenvironment.

Qualifications
• A PhD in molecular biology, immunology, cancer biology or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with FACS and standard molecular biology techniques (e.g., PCR, ELISA, RNA sequencing).
• A strong background in immunological assays and immune cell phenotyping.
• Interest in biophysical methods 
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills.

Application
To apply, please send the following documents as a single PDF file to Prof. David Alsteens:
• A cover letter describing your research interests and qualifications.
• A detailed CV, including a list of publications.
• Contact details of at least three references.

Important: Please include "Application to Postdoc in Tumor-Immune Crosstalk" in the subject line of your email.
