We are looking for candidates with:

a Master’s degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, biomedical sciences, or bioengineering;

hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture and standard molecular biology techniques;

strong scientific curiosity and motivation for fundamental cancer research;

excellent communication and organisational skills.

Experience with epigenomics, omics data analysis, cancer models, or metabolic assays is considered an asset.The project will combine molecular and cellular biology, metabolic approaches, and functional genomics to study how tumour hypoxia reshapes nuclear metabolic pathways and epigenetic regulation.We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join a joint KU Leuven – UCLouvain doctoral programme investigating compartmentalised metabolism in tumour hypoxia, at the interface between nuclear metabolism, chromatin regulation, and single-cell epigenomics in cancer.
The candidate will be co-supervised by Dr. R...
