[BBC] PhD and Postdoc positions

[Patrick Deelen]

Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

Job Description


The *Radboud Institute of Molecular Life Sciences – department of Internal
Medicine* – (https://www.radboudumc.nl) investigates the molecular
mechanisms of human immune and infectious diseases. By integrating
fundamental and clinical research, we obtain multifaceted knowledge of
(patho) physiological processes.



The Research Group of Vinod Kumar (
https://www.radboudumc.nl/en/people/vinod-kumar-magadi-gopalaiah) invites
talented and highly motivated candidates to apply for a *PhD and
Post-Doctoral Researchers (m/f) (Immuno-genetics, bioinformatics, Systems
Biology)* starting on 1st of September 2018.



The postdoctoral position will be for two years initially with a
possibility of extension.



The successful candidates will work in the domain of bioinformatics related
to infectious diseases. Our group uses a multidisciplinary approach,
including genetic/immunologic/transcriptomic/proteomic data integration and
network biology, and GWAS to develop novel therapeutic treatments for
infectious diseases.



The successful postdoc candidate is expected to lead bioinformatics
projects related mainly to human genetic and omic data analysis and develop
bioinformatics pipelines for predicting genetic risk as well as to
understand infectious processes. The successful candidate is expected to
interact closely with clinicians and wet-lab scientists for discovering new
genetic mechanisms using big data from both patient and population-based
cohorts, followed by data analysis and data integration to determine
correlations between molecular layers and genetics, and ends with the
formulation of hypotheses that will be verified in functional experiments.

*Your profile: *A strong interest in conducting collaborative research on
the topic outlined above is paramount. Candidates are expected to be
interested in working at the boundaries of several research domains.

•   PhD degree in Systems Biology, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics,
Biophysics, Computer Science or a related discipline



•   Documented knowledge and experience in the analysis of biological
high-throughput data is a requirement



•   Knowledge in statistical methods in the context of biological systems



•   Strong experience with programming (Python, Perl, C++, R)



•   Well-developed collaborative skills





*For further information:*

Please contact Dr. Vinod Kumar

Email: v.kumar at umcg.nl



*Applications:*

Complete applications in English should include a CV, certificates,
transcripts, a brief statement of research experiences and interests and
the contact details of at least two possible referees.
