Job summary

Amsterdam UMC Research BV invites applications for a postdoctoral position in computational immunology focused on building a mechanistic multiscale model of the lymph node. The role merges agent-based modelling with differential equations to study adaptive immune responses and requires strong programming in Julia or Python and experience with single-cell omics datasets.

You will work with principal investigators and researchers across Amsterdam UMC and partner institutes, presenting results in

Qualifications

• PhD in computational science or a related field.
• Experience with agent-based modelling and differential equations.
• Strong programming skills in Julia or Python.
• Experience with Git, Visual Studio Code and Copilot or Claude Code.
• Strong communication, presentation and scientific writing skills in English.
• Knowledge of R, immunology and single-cell omics is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Develop a mechanistic, spatio-temporal multiscale computational model of the lymph node.
• Integrate agent-based modelling with differential equation-based approaches.
• Use single-cell omics and other datasets to parameterize the model.
• Ensure the model is well documented within the ENCORE framework.
