[BBC] PhD Position at Wageningen UR

[Dijk, Aalt-Jan van]

We are looking for a PhD student for a project on prediction and identification of key determinants of protein-protein interaction specificity. You will develop novel bioinformatics methods, based on machine learning, to predict which domains and amino acids specify protein-protein interaction potential. You will apply these methods in particular to study MADS domain transcription factors, which regulate transcription patterns underlying major plant developmental processes.

You will be part of a team that includes wet lab scientists from the Immink group with ample experience on plant developmental biology and computational scientists from the Bioinformatics group, experts in machine learning and data integration. The Immink group investigates the transcriptional regulation of plant developmental processes, such as flowering time control, floral organ development and leaf and floral organ growth, with special interest in the role of protein-protein interactions. The Bioinformatics group focuses on fundamental and applied bioinformatics research in the green life sciences. The group has a strong track record in genomics, algorithm development and tool construction.

For more information, see: http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/Jobs/Vacancies/Show/PhD-position-Prediction-and-identification-of-key-determinants-of-proteinprotein-interaction-specificity.htm
The deadline for application is April 15, 2015.

Best regards,
Aalt-Jan van Dijk
