[BBC] Post-doc position 'Machine Learning for network-based analysis' (UGent)

[Kathleen Marchal]

*Postdoc position Machine Learning for network-based analysis*

*Job description*: The DBN group headed by K. Marchal has a vacancy for 
a postdoctoral researcher interested in a combination of research and 
teaching (3 year Dr Assistant position). The research will focus on the 
development and application of systems genetics approaches to identify 
driver pathways underlying adaptive clonal phenotypes. Innovative 
methods based on state-of-the-art datamining techniques need to be 
developed in order to integrate genomic information derived from cohorts 
of samples with phenotypic information. Methods will be applied to study 
the evolvability of network rewiring and interclonal interactions during 
adaptive responses in cancer and/or microbial systems. Next to research 
also an active involvement in teaching and student supervision is required.

*Context*: The DBN group headed by K. Marchal is located at the 
engineering faculty of Ghent University (IDLab/IMEC). The group’ s 
research focus is on bioinformatics method development. The group is 
specialized in combining advanced datamining techniques with biological 
principles (http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/DBN/) and has major 
expertise in network inference and network-based data-integration.

*Key words:*data sciences, machine learning, cancer genomics, clonal systems

*Expertise*

•You hold a PhD degree in Sciences; in Bioinformatics, in Applied 
Biological Sciences (Bioengineering); in Engineering

•Strong interest in research and teachingbioinfomatics related courses

•Strong interest in method development and data mining

•Strong interest in interdisciplinary research

•Knowledge in molecular biology or genomics is a plus

•Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Perl or Python, as 
well as Linux systems.
