at the PI level, develop your own research line and supervise your own 
PhD students. Your background could be in biology provided you have a 
solid expertise in bioinformatics, or your background could be in 
computer science or physics provided you have a genuine biological 
research line.

You are expected to develop your own research line in the life sciences

to perform fundamental biological research in a variety of biological 
disciplines. Currently it is seeking to strengthen its bioinformatics 
research. The bioinformatics group develops novel bioinformatics 
approaches in the areas of comparative genomics and data integration to 
pursue research into evolution, signalling networks and plant 
bioinformatics. The group is part of the Institute of Biodynamics and 
Biocomplexity (IBB), embedded in one of the largest Biology departments 
in the Netherlands (>200 new students per year). The group teaches 
bioinformatics to biology students at the bachelor and master level. PhD
