Excited to launch our recruitment campaign for VIB.AI. We are looking for 3 group leaders (for now) to join us in exploring the fundamental questions of life using AI and computational biology and to help shape the future of our brand new research center.

The newly-funded VIB.AI Center in Leuven (Belgium) is recruiting 3 (!) group leaders focusing on answering fundamental biological questions with AI/ML. Great opportunity to join a dynamic community, with competitive conditions.

Thank you VIB PostDocs! Happy postdocs VIB_StructuralBiologyBrussels :) VIB VUB
