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.

Vacature Adviseur Informatie bij Regieorgaan SIA
by BeNeLux bioinformaticians forum 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Dear readers, There is a new vacancy (in Dutch) for Advisor Information. Fluent Dutch is required, hence the information below is in Dutch only. Bijgaand de vacaturetekst voor adviseur informatie. De vacature stond t/m 8 januari open, maar heeft nog niet tot een nieuwe collega geleid, dus nu een poging via deze route. Bij interesse graag contact opnemen met Erik Greven (zie vacature), hij staat open voor informele kennismakingsgesprekken met geïnteresseerden. Wat uit de vacature minder goed naar voren komt is dat het werk aan de ene kant database-onderhoud is, en dat er daarnaast een ontwikkelvraag ligt, zowel wat betreft welke informatie er in de database moet als ook hoe je dat dan goed presenteert en inzichtelijk maakt. Kind regards, Annejet Spierenburg Programmamanager Energietransitie & Duurzaamheid +31 (0) 6 57 29 02 63 annejet.spierenburg(a)regieorgaan-sia.nl<mailto:annejet.spierenburg@regieorgaan-sia.nl> [Logo SIA_20jaar_blauw-mint_RGB-2] Bezoekadres Winthontlaan 2 3526KV Utrecht www.regieorgaan-sia.nl<http://www.regieorgaan-sia.nl/>

Summer School 2023 “Multi-Omics Data Analysis and Integration”
by BeNeLux bioinformaticians forum 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Dear colleagues, Although each omics data is usually analyzed individually, combining complementary data can yield a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in biological processes. Learning integrative bioinformatics methods and tools is thus a major challenge for research groups and bioinformatics platforms. In this context, the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) and the French Institute of Bioinformatics (IFB) offer a Summer School about “Multi-Omics Data Analysis and Integration” for life scientists wishing to acquire theoretical and practical skills in integrative bioinformatics. This School will take place from Sunday 3 September 2023 ~18h00 to Friday 8 September 2023 ~14h00 at the Centre CAES-CNRS Paul Langevin <https://www.caes.cnrs.fr/sejours/centre-paul-langevin-3-2/> in Aussois, France. This School will be in English. During the School, several methods will be used and significant time will be devoted to hands-on sessions. The program will be divided into three phases / topics: Multivariate statistical analyses (Instructors: Arnaud Gloaguen & Jimmy Vandel) Network-based approaches (Instructors: Morgane Térézol & Marie-Galadriel Brière) Results contextualisation: an introduction to metabolic models, web semantic and knowledge graphs (Instructors: Jean-Clément Gallardo, Maxime Delmas & Marco Pagni) The participants will work in groups and shortly present the application of what they have learned to their own project. Registration is open from today and until the end of May. If the number of applications is quite higher than capacity, we may close registration early, so don’t wait to apply. Please find more information about this School on the SIB website (https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20230903_MODAI <https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20230903_MODAI>). In this page, click on the registration form link. In addition to admin questions, the form includes questions about your profile and previous experience in the field. This will be useful to form groups and to do a selection in the event of massive registration. A confirmation of your registration will be sent by email in a few weeks, so please double check that your email address is correct and be patient. The standard registration fee is EUR 650 including full accommodation, and for the members of the SIB PhD Training Network and of the IFB, the fee is lowered to EUR 400.

PhD position on the genetic regulation of gene expression in the human brain
by BeNeLux bioinformaticians forum 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

Dear Bioinformatics colleagues, The human brain is one of the most complex organs in the body and much is still unknown about the genetic basis of psychiatric and neurological diseases. How do genetic variants associated with neurological disease change gene expression levels, and how are these changes eventually lead to disease? We are looking for a PhD student to help us get insight into these questions. We have recently finished a large scale project where we combined over 8,000 bulk RNA-seq samples in human brain, after which we determined which genetic variants change gene expression levels in different brain tissues and in different ancestry groups. We also investigated whether the association signals we identified on gene expression could also be overlapped with disease association signals. We are currently planning to further expand this dataset, to look into disease specific effects, and long-distance genetic asociations on gene expression levels. The tasks of the PhD student include creating and running bioinformatics pipelines for genotype calling, RNA-seq analysis, and eQTL analysis, and method development for large scale statitical analysis, writing papers, and presenting at (international) conferences. If you, or someone you know is interested in learning about genetics, gene regulation and complex disease in the human brain, loves to work with large datasets, and is interested in a PhD position, please apply using the link below. https://werkenbijumcg.nl/-/vacatures/phd-student-to-study-gene-expression-v… With kind regards, Harm-Jan Westra, PhD University Medical Center Groningen ________________________________ De inhoud van dit bericht is vertrouwelijk en alleen bestemd voor de geadresseerde(n).
