[BBC] Postdoc: position Computational Network Biology in Plants - VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology

[Klaas Vandepoele]

The Comparative Network Biology lab (Klaas Vandepoele) of the VIB Center 
for Plant Systems Biology is looking for a Postdoc Computational Network 
Biology in Plants.


    Our mission

Our objective is to extract and validate biological knowledge from 
large-scale experimental data sets using data integration, comparative 
sequence and expression analysis, and network analysis. In our lab, we 
combine computational methods with experimental data to generate new 
insights about gene function, gene regulation and comparative genome 
biology.

In this project, our objective is to

  * *delineate high-quality biological  networks*in different plant species
  * *develop new methods to accurately translate biological
    networks*between different species (model species & crops) with
    different levels of genome complexity


    Job description

  * Fully funded Postdoc position for 2 years (start date March 2018 or
    later).
  * You get the freedom to design and execute a personal research
    project addressing some of the objectives listed above.
  * Through (inter)national collaborations with wetlab scientists,
    computational results can be experimentally validated!
  * Perform co-supervision of research projects of PhD students in the lab.
  * Access to a diverse set of training programs at VIB (both scientific
    & soft skills)
  * Reporting of results through publications in peer-reviewed
    international journals.
  * Attending and presenting your results at international scientific
    events.


    Your profile

  * You have PhD degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology or related.
  * You are enthusiastic about scientific research and have a strong
    interest in studying plant biology using genomics and systems
    biology approaches.
  * Through international peer-reviewed publications, you have a track
    record in plant genomics or systems biology research
    (people_only_having publications describing experimental/wetlab work
    will not be retained).
  * You are fluent with Linux/Unix and have good knowledge of Python or
    another programming/scripting language.
  * You have good communication and writing skills.
  * You are proficient in English.


    How to apply?

Motivated candidates are asked to apply online 
(https://vibvzw.jobsoid.com/j/10785/postdoc-computational-network-biology-in-plants). 
Please make sure your application includes a letter of motivation, a 
detailed CV and the contact information of 2 references (including 
e-mail addresses and phone numbers). Applications will be accepted until 
31 January 2018.
