Computational Immunologist

We are seeking a highly skilled Computational Immunologist to join our team at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO). As a key member of our research team, you will be responsible for developing and applying cutting-edge computational technologies to design novel vaccines and therapeutic approaches.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in life science or computer science with a minimum of 3 years of experience in molecular immunology and medicinal chemistry. You will be expected to work in close collaboration with our Principal Scientists and external research sponsors to design and model novel vaccine antigens and epitopes binding to MHCs in humans and/or swine and cattle.

• Develop and apply advanced computational models and algorithms for vaccine design and development
• Collaborate with research teams to design and implement large-scale computational simulations
• Conduct sound numerical experiments and interpret findings in a trans-disciplinary team-based environment
• Develop and lead training programs in computational immunology for technical staff, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in computational immunology, medicinal pharmacology, and algorithm design. You will also have experience in high-performance computing and proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or C++. Excellent organizational, time management, and communication skills are essential for this role.

As a Research Scientist I at VIDO, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects and collaborate with a diverse team of scientists. You will also have access to state-of-the-art computational resources and training opportunities.

Interested candidates are asked to submit their application as a single PDF document including a cover letter, resume, and contact information for three references. Applications will be accepted until the position is awarded.
