Job description
Large-scale hydrogen storage is an important objective in the clean energy transition, because it can be used to store renewable energy: hydrogen can be generated at times of surplus in solar or wind energy, to be stored and used when the energy demand exceeds the renewable production. One of the most promising techniques to do this at a large scale is to inject hydrogen into pores or fractures that are naturally present in rock layers in the deep subsurface (typically deeper than 1000 m). However, actual experience of storing hydrogen in this type of geological reservoirs is very limited, and still requires fundamental scientific research. This PhD project fits within a research collaboration between Ghent University and Fluxys, the company which operates a.o. the Belgian natural gas transmission system. Currently, Fluxys stores natural gas in a karst aquifer (a fractured carbonate rock layer) at more than 1000 m depth in the North of Belgium, and now wants to investigate if this site can be transitioned to a hydrogen storage. To contribute to this, you will investigate the flow properties of hydrogen in the pores/fractures of carbonate rock samples, its reactivity with the (saline) water and minerals present in the underground reservoir, and the risk that microbial processes consume the stored hydrogen and change the hydraulic properties by biofilm clogging. This will be done by laboratory studies at UGent (Dept. Geology, Center for X-ray Tomography and Center for Microbial Ecology and Technology), using advanced experimental techniques such as X-ray micro-computed tomography, core floodings on fractured rock samples, high-pressure batch reaction tests, microbial community quantification and fingerprinting by flow cytometry and microbial community characterization by second generation sequencing.

The successful postdoctoral candidate will explore novel strategies to reprograme Tumor-Associate Macrophage (TAM) tumor-driving phenotypes in experimental tumor models and patient samples in the research group headed by Charlotte Rolny. The research group has longstanding experience in the field of the tumor microenvironment field, and is a member of the Swedish Tumor Microenvironment Program and the Breast Cancer Theme Center.
The research is conducted within an interdisciplinary framework at the Department of Oncology-Pathology, fostering an environment that encourages collaboration and innovation. Moreover, the research group maintains robust partnerships with clinical counterparts, as well as national and international research collectives.
TAMs are plastic cells exhibiting states and phenotypes spanning from anti-tumor/immunostimulating (sometimes referred to as M1-like) to pro-tumor/immunosuppressive (also denoted M2-like). We previously showed that TAMs located in the vicinity of tumor vessels (perivascular TAMs) promote vessel abnormalization and fuel metastatic dissemination. Our published and preliminary data suggest the relevance of such TAMs also in human cancers as their accumulation correlates with increased malignancy and metastasis. Furthermore, pro-tumor TAMs drive tumor growth by suppressing tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) that target tumor cells. Therefore, TAMs can play diverse and critical roles in cancer. Yet, current knowledge of how such distinct TAM phenotypes manifest is limited. Over the years, Rolny and co-workers, have showed that reprograming of TAM pro-tumor phenotype into an anti-tumor phenotype is a valid anti-cancer strategy. We have now pinpointed a unique pathway that regulates TAM pro-tumor functions that may pave way for development of novel anti-cancer targets.The postdoctoral project will explore candidate targets for reprogramming TAMs in experimental models as well as patient samples.

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
The research group of Professor Maria Eriksson at the department of Biosciences and Nutrition is looking for 1-2 highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to study somatic mutations in age-associated disease. The research aims at understanding the role of somatic mutations and their functional relevance in the development of age-associated diseases. We use both patient material and animal models combined with modern genomic technologies that allow for detailed analysis down to single-cell resolution to try to answer disease-relevant fundamental questions. https://ki.se/en/bionut/genetic-mechanisms-of-ageing-maria-eriksson
The division
The research group of Professor Maria Eriksson aims to identify novel genetic mechanisms of aging with a special focus on somatic mutations and their functional contribution to aging and age-associated diseases. The group also has a long-standing interest in the study of the premature aging disorder Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, trying to identify novel targets for treatment. The group consists of 2 postdocs and 2 PhD students, and has recently obtained an ERC Advanced grant to study somatic mutations in vascular wall function and is therefore looking to expand with 1-2 additional postdocs.
The research group is part of a larger “Aging and Cancer” space that consists of 6 other research groups located next to each other within a modern research building. Such stimulating environment allows for several arrangements of joint events and promotes daily interactions, collaborations and sharing of expertise.
Your mission
Somatic cells accumulate thousands of mutations during development and aging. However, detailed analysis and insight into the extent of somatic variance in the vascular tissue is lacking. The postdoc will study the clonality of the vascular wall in human tissue samples and generate advanced mouse models based on lineage tracing to follow the fate of mutated cells. The aim is to define functional implications of somatic mutations in relation to aging and age-associated cardiovascular disease. The research work includes standard molecular biological techniques, mouse phenotyping and modern omics-approaches. The postdoc is expected to be part of the group and to develop in accordance with the common group goals and research interests.
Your profile
Applications are invited from highly motivated individuals with a PhD and a strong background in molecular biology or genetics. Previous experience from work with human samples, mouse models and modern genomics technologies is required. Experience from work on the vascular system and lineage tracing, using confetti or similar strains, and rare event detection, is advantageous. Successful candidates are enthusiastic, responsible, able to perform their own experiments and analysis. They can provide suggestions and support in experimental design and experimentation to other members of the group. Fluency in written and spoken English is a requirement.
To be eligible for employment as a postdoctor a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree is required. This eligibility requirement must be fulfilled at the latest at the time of the employment decision. It is considered as an advantage if you have completed your doctoral degree within the last three years, if there are special reasons, your degree may have been completed earlier.

With recent advances in treatment, patients with primary brain tumors can be more effectively treated through a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. With increasing long-term survival of these patients, it has become increasingly important to safeguard long-term quality of life by limiting treatment-related side-effects.
Radiotherapy in particular has been shown to affect long-term neurocognitive functioning. Novel radiotherapy techniques, such as proton beam therapy, are able to reduce the irradiation of healthy brain tissue, potentially limiting neurocognitive sequelae.
However, the radiation susceptibility of different brain regions as well as their functional importance in brain tumor survivors is still largely unknown today. Therefore, we aim to better characterize and predict neurocognitive decline using Advanced MRI techniques looking at the brain anatomy (T1w, T2 and FLAIR), structural and functional connectivity (multishell diffusion imaging and resting-state functional imaging), metabolites (spectroscopy) and vasculature (SWI, ASL and perfusion) imaging.
The ability to understand and predict neurocognitive decline in both pediatric and adult brain tumor patients, will allow us to optimize treatment and improve patient-tailored support.
You will be working in a multidisciplinary environment that includes the expertise of three expert groups. First, the research group on translational MRI, specialized in the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques such as multishell diffusion weighted and functional MRI. Second, the laboratory of experimental radiotherapy and the Particle Therapy Interuniversity Center Leuven (PARTICLE) (Prof. Dr. Maarten Lambrecht). PARTICLE is the first, and so far only, clinical proton therapy center in Belgium. Third, the researcher will be part of the pediatric oncology unit (Prof. Dr. Sandra Jacobs and Prof. Dr. Jurgen Lemiere). Since 2010, this group has been documenting the neurocognitive trajectories of all pediatric brain tumor patients, using neuropsychological test batteries at regular intervals, building a unique database. Since 2020, this research has been expanded with the use of advanced MRI.
Responsibilities
We offer a job position to a postdoctoral researcher who is knowledgeable in the combination of:
Structural, diffusion, and functional MRI
Brain tumor lesions and/or Radiotherapy
Cognitive neuroscience
Your role is to combine multimodal MRI in adult and pediatric brain tumor treated patients with neurocognitive outcome measures to evaluate the impact of different treatment options on cognitive decline and translate this towards improved treatment strategies for optimal survival and quality of life.
You will supervise at least two PhD students working on this topic.
You will be able to bring guidance in MRI analysis, interpretation of results and in writing manuscripts.
You will aid in setting out new projects within the combined research groups and acquire funding.
It is mandatory to have sufficient experience in the above mentioned 3 domains to apply for this position.
Profile
You possess a PhD or are currently in the final stages of finishing your PhD.
You have experience in setting-up, conducting and analyzing advanced neuroimaging data, preferably including studies performed in clinical populations with brain pathology.
You have (partial) knowledge of
Functional and diffusion MRI analysis
Graph theory
Brain lesion segmentation
Neuropsychological testing
You have a strong interest to apply state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques to solve current clinical challenges
You are a team player and like to guide master and PhD students
With your multidisciplinary vision, you will oversee current neuroimaging projects and set-out new projects, including multicenter studies.
You are pro-active in acquiring additional funding in order to expand the current research lines.
(Research) experience in the fields of oncology, radiotherapy or medical physics is considered an advantage
Offer
We offer a fulltime postdoc appointment for the first year, which can be renewed for at least 2 additional years based on yearly evaluation.
You will receive a salary according to KU Leuven Barema 44 (https://admin.kuleuven.be/personeel/wedde/graadbarema/ap/barema44.pdf).
