The Immune-Endocrine-Epigenetics Research Group in the Department of Infection and Immunity investigates how epigenetic processes such as DNA methylation integrate the environment and inherited traits to predispose individuals to diseases. In the context of the FNR funded CORE grant “Age Acceleration and the Life Course (ALAC)” the team is now seeking a dedicated PhD Student.

Immune evasion is a hallmark of cancer progression and represents a major hurdle to the design of effective therapeutic strategies. We recently uncovered a widely conserved mechanism by which resistant tumor cells respond to immune effector cell attack. The ACTIVASION project aims at exploring how this mechanism (i.e. fast remodeling of the tumor cell actin cytoskeleton) alters the structure and the function of the immunological synapse, the cell-cell interaction interface used by immune cells to recognize and kill target cancer cells.

The Data Manager & BI Specialist, under the direction of the IT BISManager, will ensure data organization, storage and analysis while always upholding agreed-upon security standards.  He/she will be responsible for overseeing the development and use of data systems, in order to deliver high quality solutions that span multiple technologies/platforms.

Transversal Translational Medicine (TTM) at the LIHcreates a translational bridge between fundamental research and the clinic sothat improved/advanced diagnosis, therapy and prevention may help patients inLuxembourg and beyond.  TTM wishes torecruit a Project Manager. The incumbent will be project lead for EATRIS-plusproject (50%) and other TTM research programs (50%). The aim of EATRIS-Plusis to help pooling and exploiting the translational academic capacities of theinfrastructure in omic technologies to enable researchers to better address thescientific and societal challenge of personalized medicine. Additionally, thecoordination office and 13 existing national nodes of the infrastructure willparticipate in implementing joint outreach, training, industry engagement andinternational collaboration activities to further build national capacity,increase users’ trust and strengthen EATRIS and the ERA global scientificleadership.

The Project Manager coordinates a number of projects involving externalparties, ensuring that they are set up according to procedures, deliverablesachieved, and budgets met. Preparing quotations and project plans with budgetsare an important part of the PM’s job.

The Science Office represents the central element in themanagement of the LIH research projects and the Research Project PortfolioManager (PPM) will be key in the coordination of the workloads/tasks betweenthe PI, project managers and various administrative services. The PPM will thusensure the appropriate support to the PIs all along the Project Life Cycle. ThePPM will organize the flow of information between PIs, SSC members,Departmental Project Managers and administrative services to ensure smoothprogression of research projects within the PLC Management processes of the LIH
