[BBC] PhD student position in Proteomics related Bioinformatics: Quantitation, processing and classification algorithms for mass spectrometry

[Peter Horvatovich]

THE UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN AS PARTNER OF THE NETHERLANDS PROTEOMICS CENTER
OFFERS

a PhD student position in the Department of Analytical Biochemistry (Dr.
Péter Horvatovich, Prof. Rainer Bischoff) to work on a project entitled:

Proteomics related Bioinformatics: Quantitation, processing and
classification algorithms for mass spectrometry

This PhD position is embedded within the larger collaborative network of the
Netherlands Proteomics Center (NPC, www.netherlandsproteomicscentre.nl/), a
national center of excellence. The PhD project will focus on developing new
bioinformatics tools and algorithms for processing and statistical analysis
of proteomics LC-MS data. The work will consist in participating in the
development of an integrated data processing framework interconnecting
multiple open source data processing pipelines, quality control tools to
assess the global and individual quality of LC-MS data processing modules,
development tools for integration of multidimensional chromatography data
and development of specific time alignment solutions for charge state- and
isotope-shifted LC-MS data. This work will be performed in close
collaboration with groups at the University of Utrecht (Prof. Heck and Dr.
van Breukelen) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (Dr. Hermjakob).
The candidate will collaborate closely with other research group forming the
Netherlands Bioinformatics for Proteomics Platform initiated by the NPC and
the Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre (NBIC) and his/her developed tools
will become part of the national proteomics bioinformatics framework using a
grid environment.


The successful candidate will work in a team (PhD students and postdoctoral
fellows) focusing on bioinformatics and analytical chemistry. The Department
of Analytical Biochemistry (www.biomac.nl) has extensive experience in
proteomics and proteomics-related bioinformatics with a focus on algorithms
and methodological developments.

Requirements:
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong background in
mathematics, statistics, or bioinformatics. Experience in multivariate
statistical analysis, algorithm development, multiple programming languages
(c++, java, Matlab, Perl), database development and programming experience
in parallel computing would be a distinctive advantage. Experience in
proteomics and analytical techniques will be considered a plus. The
candidate should enjoy working in an international and interdisciplinary
environment.

Conditions of employment:
The University of Groningen offers employment for a period of 4 years to be
concluded with a PhD thesis.

Additional information and sending in of applications:
Applications with curriculum vitae and the names of three former or present
supervisors that can be contacted as references should be sent to Dr. Péter
Horvatovich; E-mail: p.l.horvatovich at rug.nl. Phone: +31-50-363-3341 (3336
secr.); Fax: +31-50-363-7582, www.biomac.nl, who is also available for
further inquiries about this position. Date limit for application: 16
November 2008.
