(1) Postdoc Fellowship: Computational Biology/Bioinformatics

The Computational Biology Group seeks a highly skilled and motivated postdoctoral fellow to work on an exciting project that aims at developing a computational framework for modeling inter-cellular interactions to understand the mechanisms of inflammation in aging and disease. In particular, the successful candidate will develop cell-cell interaction models, using network-based computational approaches and single-cell transcriptomics data. Furthermore, the candidate will build data-driven computational models for cell population dynamics and designing intervention strategies. The topics of the research project include the prediction of candidate therapeutic targets for alleviating periodic, noninfectious fever episodes of unknown origin in pediatric patients in collaboration with clinicians in Germany. Finally, the candidate will participate in the project management and planning, including supervision of Ph.D. students.

(2) Research Associate (Postdoc): SDN/NFV

The successful candidate will primarily contribute to the large EU research project Lux4QCI Luxembourg Experimental Network for Quantum Communication Infrastructure). The project is part of the Digital Europe Program (DIGITAL) and aims to deliver the first experimental quantum communication infrastructure (QCI) network in Luxembourg. A distinctive feature is the by-design integration between the terrestrial and the satellite segment. Lux4QCI envisions making Luxembourg a QCI front-runner and a hub for secure key distribution across the EU. To achieve those goals, Lux4QCI will identify use cases of interest for application scenarios of quantum key-distribution (QKD)-enhanced secure communications. The intended QCI will be nationally deployed through multiple terrestrial optical fibers running hundreds of kilometers and interconnecting at least 5 points of presence. The network will rely on a hybrid configuration combining multiple QKD technologies over a range of multihop topologies (e.g., star, serial, and tree). The intended architecture contains an orchestrator collocated with a node. The orchestrator consists of a network manager with SDN/network-function virtualisation (NFV) algorithms for flow management/routing, a quantum key-distribution network (QKDN) controller, which performs routing control of key relay, and a QKDN manager, which monitors the status of the QKDN and assists the key management system (KMS) for key-management operations.

(4) Postdoc Fellowship: Neuroimmunology

The MINIALZ PEARL project aims to study the interaction of immune cells and neurons in the brain and to identify molecular mechanisms that can be harnessed for developing preventive, disease-modifying or acute therapeutic measures. MINIALZ will further identify early immune function and biomarker traits, in order to support diagnosis prior to clinical appearance. MINIALZ will be based on a new mechanism recently identified by the applicant’s group, by which microglia form a tunnelling nanotube network (TNTs) with neighboring neurons in order to free the latter from pathological proteins and ensure their function and survival. Preliminary data suggest that such microglia-neuron TNTs may contribute to neuronal survival in models of neurodegeneration and the involved mechanisms are defective in microglia carrying disease-associated AD risk mutations.

(6) Postdoc Fellowship: Microbiome research

The project is a comprehensive research framework study that aims at addressing key unanswered questions related to COVID-19, focusing specifically on the long-term health impact of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with alterations of the human gut microbiome composition that persists for at least six months after the initial infection. An imbalance in the gut microbiome can be linked to disease severity and an increased post-COVID-19 risk. Transfer of microorganisms from the oral and nasal cavities to the gut represent a direct link between the environment-exposed oral cavity and the indirectly exposed gut. In particular, Postdoctoral researcher will work on resolving alterations of the oral, nasal and gut microbiomes in relation to COVID-19 and long COVID, as well as analysing the association between emerging and existing COVID-19 variants along with other pathogens and alterations of the microbiome on breakthrough infections and re-infections.
