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.

Dear list members There is a postdoctoral position available in my group at IB2 : https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/697360 We would like to have someone who can start in January. Kind regards Tom Description : We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to develop, in collaboration with the Oligogenic Team at (IB)2, novel machine learning methods to predict the effect of combinations of variants in disease phenotypes, and more precisely discerning pathogenic modifications associated with known disease-causing genes. This research builds on the Variant Combinations Pathogenicity Predictor work (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1815601116) as well as its associated developments like ORVAL (http://orval.ibsquare.be<http://orval.ibsquare.be/>). Specific research directions in this context can be discussed yet certain deliverables need to be reached within the context of the project on which this position is opened. One of the responsibilities is to collaborate with technical support staff on the transfer of the ORVAL platform to a professional cloud environment hosted by the company FairGX and the Foundation 101 Genomes (http://f101g.org<http://f101g.org/>). The position would be in the context of the Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels (http://www.ibsquare.be<http://www.ibsquare.be/>) and the ULB Machine Learning group (http://mlg.ulb.ac.be<http://mlg.ulb.ac.be/>) under the supervision of professor Tom Lenaerts and in collaboration with Dr. Sofia Papadimitriou (Université Libre de Bruxelles), the PhDs working on this topic and the other partners of the G4BXL project. This position is available for 2 years. The position will be closed as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
