PhD position in Integrating of multiple -omics datasets
by Claesen Jürgen 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

Dear all, SCK CEN and UHasselt are looking for candidates for a PhD project with the title: "Integromics - Towards integration of big biomolecular data to enable systems biology" Description The last decades, development of high-throughput technologies such as next-generation sequencing, microarrays and mass spectrometry has led to a paradigm shift in biology and life sciences. Where previously one biomolecule (for example, a gene, or a protein) was studied as a single entity, these experimental techniques allow to study a set of biomolecules (for example, the genome or the proteome) in one go and in a limited amount of time. While, at first, experiments were analyzed independently from each other, combining information of several experimental techniques, and correlating them with environmental and/or clinical parameters, is, nowadays, of great interest. As a consequence, novel statistical and computational methodologies for the analysis of multi-omics datasets have to be developed, allowing a multi-dimensional view on complex biological processes. In this PhD project, we aim at the development of computational methods for the analysis of multi-omics datasets, that are commonly generated by the three biology units of SCK*CEN, which will improve the understanding and valorization of the data, and which will keep the biology units up to date with current developments in biology and bioinformatics. Profile and diploma As a doctorate researcher you will join the dynamic bioinformatics team at SCK CEN and CenStat (UHasselt). A successful candidate should have : * A master degree in biostatistics/applied statistics/bioinformatics/statistical bioinformatics. * You are acquainted with statistical methodologies and had exposure to computer programming in SAS/R/Winbugs/Python. * You can work independently and within a team. * You have excellent communication skills. * You are interested to develop new methodology from both theoretical and applied aspects. * You enjoy working in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment. * You are willing to closely collaborate with biologists/biostatisticians. * You speak and write English fluently. * You have work experience with at least two different "omics" platforms.

PhD position: Investigation of biodegradation pathways in Daphnia and freshwater microbiomes
by Karoline Faust 28 Aug '20

28 Aug '20

PhD position: Investigation of biodegradation pathways in Daphnia and freshwater microbiomes The PlasticDaphnia consortium is looking for a motivated PhD student who is interested in the analysis of microbial 16S rRNA and whole genome sequencing data. The PhD student will be supervised by: Prof. Faust<http://tinyurl.com/MicrobialSysBio> (Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation), Prof. Springael<https://www.kuleuven.be/wieiswie/en/person/00037739> (Division of Soil and Water Management) and Prof. Decaestecker<https://www.kuleuven-kulak.be/nl/onderzoek/Onderzoeksdomeinen/aquatische-bi…> (Department of Biology). Project The overall goal of the PlasticDaphnia project is the development of new plastics that are more biodegradable and thus pose lower environmental risks than conventional plastics. The filter feeder Daphnia is a crucial species in freshwater ecosystems and is traditionally used as a bioindicator for water quality. Its diverse microbiome is known to harbour biodegradation capabilities, which will be further explored in this project. The task of the PhD student is to analyse 16S rRNA sequencing data of Daphnia and freshwater microbiomes and to build and apply a new metagenomics/metatranscriptomics analysis pipeline to quantify the abundance/transcription of biodegradation pathways in complex communities. Profile Two types of profiles are acceptable: Background in informatics/applied mathematics ● good knowledge of an object-oriented and/or a statistical programming language, modern IDEs, version control and/or experience with computer clusters ● basic knowledge of biochemistry and of microbiology or ecology ● strong interest in microbial ecology and sequencing data analysis Background in biology/computational biology/bioinformatics ● good knowledge of biochemistry and of microbiology or ecology ● basic knowledge of an object-oriented and/or statistical programming language ● strong motivation to improve programming skills The PhD candidate is expected to apply for an FWO PhD fellowship and should therefore meet the eligibility criteria. Proficiency in English is required, experience with NGS analysis tools and/or knowledge of metabolic network theory is a plus. Offer ● funding available for 4 years ● enrolment at one of the top universities in Europe ● part of an interdisciplinary research team ● competitive salary Interested? Please submit your application consisting of your CV, motivation letter and contact details for at least 2 references via the online application tool (https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/55796938) The closing date for applications is the 1st of October 2020. The intended starting date is the 16th of November 2020 but can be negotiated. Interviews will be held in October. For more information, please contact Prof. Karoline Faust (karoline.faust(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:karoline.faust@kuleuven.be>), Prof. Dirk Springael (dirk.springael(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:dirk.springael@kuleuven.be>) or Prof. Ellen Decaestecker (ellen.decaestecker(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:ellen.decaestecker@kuleuven.be>).
