6 PhD Positions, LIH Luxembourg Institute of Health, Luxembourg (2017)

NEXTIMMUNE, standing for “Next Generation ImmunoScience: Advanced Concepts for Deciphering Acute and Chronic Inflammation”, is a competitive PhD training program, supported by the doctoral research funding scheme PRIDE of the Luxembourg National Research Fund FNR. It aims to bridge classical immunology and big-data analysis science in a structured doctoral training environment. NEXTIMMUNE is opening:

2 PhD Student Positions in Computational Immunology

4 PhD Student Positions in Molecular Immunology

with up to 4 years fixed-term contract, full-time. Start dates for the PhD students will be from autumn 2017 on.

The research-intensive program aims to respond to the unmet need of training the next generation of competent immunologists by tackling next generation immunology challenges from wet lab procedures to big data analyses. We offer an interdisciplinary environment that covers analysis of “omics” and clinical data, as well as basic and translational biomedical knowledge combined with its practical application to diagnosis and ultimately therapy. The program includes transferable skills training, support in career development, scientific lectures by international speakers and annual PhD retreats.
