2 PhD and 1 Postdoc position at Van de Peer Lab (VIB/UGent)
by Thomas Van Parys 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

The following positions are now open in the Van de Peer Lab at VIB/Ghent University, Belgium (http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/) in relation to the ERC Advanced Grant Double-Up, on the importance of gene and genome duplications for natural and artificial organism populations. 2 PhD positions 1 Postdoc position The long-term establishment of ancient organisms that have undergone whole genome duplications has been exceedingly rare. On the other hand, tens of thousands of now-living species, both plants and animals, are polyploid, and contain multiple copies of their genome. The apparent paucity of ancient genome duplications and the existence of many species that are currently polyploid provide an interesting and fascinating enigma. A question that remains to be answered is whether these older genome duplications have survived by coincidence or whether they could survive only because they did occur, or were selected for, at very specific times, for instance during major ecological upheavals and periods of extinction. We hope to address these questions at different levels through 1) the analysis of whole plant genome sequence data and 2) the in silico modeling and evolution of artificial gene regulatory networks to mimic the genomic consequences of genome doubling and how this may affect network structure, redundancy, rewiring, and dosage balance. Furthermore, we aim at using simulated robotic models running on artificial gene regulatory networks in complex and challenging environments to evaluate how both natural and artificial organism populations can potentially benefit from gene and genome duplications for adaptation, survival, and evolution in general. DOUBLE-UP is a truly interdisciplinary proposal that will open up new horizons and perspectives for different fields of research, from bioinformatics and systems biology over comparative and evolutionary biology, to network modeling and evolutionary robotics. We are looking for 2 highly motivated PhD students and 1 highly motivated Postdoc to help us achieve these ambitious goals. A strong (bio)informatics background, good programming skills, and previous modeling/simulation experience are all required. A background in evolutionary biology and population biology is strongly preferred. Some interest in evolutionary robotics and artificial life is an advantage. Applicants should be proficient in English, both speaking and writing. The positions are available starting October 1st, 2013, with funding secured for at least four years. Contact Yves Van de Peer at yves.vandepeer(a)psb.ugent.be for more information and/or to apply. To apply, please send a detailed CV and motivation letter before August 15th. -- ================================================================== Thomas Van Parys Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM thomas.vanparys(a)psb.vib-ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================

Computational Cancer Biology Positions
by Lodewyk Wessels 12 Jul '13

12 Jul '13

COMPREHENSIVE COMPUTATIONAL MODELING FOR COMBINATION TREATMENT DESIGN PROJECT OUTLINE All cancers arise due to alterations in their genomes. Although insight into the genetic lesions in tumors by genome sequencing does already assist in selecting some drug regimens, it rarely results in disease eradication due to the emergence of drug-resistance. More sophisticated combination therapies in which several oncogenic pathways are targeted simultaneously could alleviate this problem. However, at present we are unable to extract and interpret the necessary information from tumors to predict which drug regimen will be most adequate. In this project we will collaborate with Welcome Trust Sanger Center and employ the 1000 cancer cell line data set to tackle this problem. This data set comprises large-scale molecular characterization and cancer drug screening of all cell lines for 400 anti-cancer drugs. The molecular data currently consists of gene expression, copy number (SNP-6), and whole exome sequencing data and is being expanded. The successful candidate will work closely with scientists at the Welcome Trust Sanger Center and the Netherlands Cancer Institute and employ computational approaches to mine this rich, valuable pre-clinical resource. Potential results include 1) new molecular biomarkers to identify sensitive populations 2) repositioning of existing drugs in other tumor types and 3) potential drug combinations aimed at overcoming resistance mechanisms. Hypotheses emerging from these analyses will be validated in model systems and where possible in clinical settings. CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS – EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE We are seeking highly motivated Postdoc or PhD candidates with a degree in bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics or physics and with a strong cancer biology interest. Preferably applicants should have a documented experience in analyzing high-throughput genomic data. The candidate needs to be proficient in common bioinformatics scripting and programming languages. Fluency in spoken and written English is a strong requirement. LOCATION The project involves groups at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam (Rene Bernards, Molecular Carcinogenesis, and Lodewyk Wessels, Computational Biology) and the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute (Mathew Garnet and Ultan McDermott, Cancer Genome Project). This position will be embedded in the Computational Biology Group lead by Lodewyk Wessels. CONTACT DETAILS Please contact Lodewyk Wessels, tel. +31 20 512 7987 or e-mail: l.wessels(a)nki.nl. When applying, please ensure you include a CV, list of publications and the names and addresses of at least two persons that can be approached as references. Also see bioinformatics.nki.nl for further information. CLOSING DATE 3 February 2013

EU-transPLANT Bioinformatics survey
by Jan van Oeveren 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Welcome to the trans-National Infrastructure for Plant Genomic Science's User Needs survey ! Please take the time to take part in our transPLANT's survey to tell us about your needs and what you feel is missing or not completely covered by existing bioinformatics projects, concerning data access, data query and data analysis in terms of bioinformatics tools or computer power or storage capacity. Your answer will help us to have an overview of stakeholder needs from public or private companies in terms of bioinformatics applications, to identify what is covered or not yet covered by transplant's project scope and to better coordinate bioinformatics developments in the future, by facilitating collaborations between teams at European level and international level. This survey was asked by the European commission and the results will be included in a general report that will be given to the EU this autumn. This report will also be used to fund new initiatives in the future. This survey should take around 30 minutes to complete : http://www.transplantdb.eu/survey => Do not hesitate to forward this email to your colleagues and partners in your lab at national, European or at international level ! ************************************************************************************************* On behalf of the transPLANT consortium Jan van Oeveren [http://www.keygene.com/images/maillogo.jpg]<http://www.keygene.com/> Keygene N.V.
