Position for PhD/PostDoc bioinformatics @ Utrecht University, Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Group
by Breukelen, B. van (Bas) 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

The Biomolecular Mass Spectreometry and Proteomics Group at Utrecht University the Netherlands is looking for a PhD student or PostDoc in Bioinformatics for the following; In this project we will develop novel proteomics technology to address proteome complexity in melanoma, which shows a rapid increase in incidence and is known for its aggressive nature in development of malignant metastasis and therapeutic resistance. The oncogenic BRAFV600E protein kinase, which leads to activation of the RAS–RAF–MEK–ERK signaling pathway, is frequently mutated in human cancer, including approximately 70% of malignant melanomas. In on-going collaborative efforts with the NKI we target the BRAFV600E proteome using high throughput proteomics, focusing on a variety of posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Currently we are looking for a Bioinformatician to support these efforts. He/she will develop novel software tools that allow mining of the data for biological relevant PTM-expression changes and potential ‘crosstalk’ between the different PTMs and the signaling networks involved. For questions and/or application please mail, m.altelaar(a)uu.nl<mailto:m.altelaar@uu.nl> =========================== Maarten Altelaar Assistant Professor Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Group Utrecht University Padualaan 8, 3584 CH, Utrecht The Netherlands ----------------------------------------------- E: m.altelaar(a)uu.nl<mailto:m.altelaar@uu.nl> W: http://www.hecklab.com ===========================

vacancies for 3 postdocs & 4 PhD students
by Kris Laukens 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Dear colleagues, we have job openings in Belgium for three post-doctoral researchers four PhD students in data mining, machine learning, bioinformatics, and computational proteomics These positions are available at: • Ghent University and VIB, Computational Omics and Systems Biology Group • KU Leuven, Machine Learning Group • University of Antwerp, Biomina / Department of Mathematics and Computer Science • The Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO). The job openings have been created in the context of the IWT-SBO project ‘inspector: an integrated informatics platform for mass spectrometry-based protein assays’. The goal of this project is to increase the efficiency of targeted proteomics methods such as selected reaction monitoring (SRM), enable high-throughput and semi-automatic quality control of proteomics experiments, and provide more sensitive detection of peptides carrying complex or unexpected post-translational modifications. Please see the individual job adverts of the respective groups below for full function descriptions, profiles, and application details: http://genesis.ugent.be/files/costore/inspector/inspector_vacancy.pdf Feel free to distribute these vacancies towards potential candidates! Thanks.
