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.

Two Exciting PhD Positions in Pharmacogenomics and Cancer Screening at our Group
by BeNeLux bioinformaticians forum 31 Jul '23

31 Jul '23

Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce two new PhD positions available within our group, which will be held in partnership with VITO, the University of Hasselt, Jessa Hospital (Hasselt), and the University of Antwerp. We seek talented and motivated individuals with an interest in Pharmacogenomics and Cancer Screening to join us in these groundbreaking research projects. *PhD Position in Next-Generation Pharmacogenomics*This project focuses on facilitating genomics medicine and including the PGx information layer in the clinical decision process. The candidate will engage in developing a toolkit for implementing PGx workflows, and assessing and applying WGS PGx profiles in clinical practice, using data generated at the Jessa Hospital. We welcome applications from candidates with a background in genomics/bioinformatics, demonstrating strong analytical problem-solving skills, programming experience, and a strong interest in genomics and pharmacogenomics applications. This project is a strategical collaboration with VITO, Jessa Hospital (Hasselt) & University of Hasselt, and the candidate will be a member of all institutions. The full job description and requirements can be found here <https://jobs.vito.be/o/phd-position-nextgeneration-pharmacogenomics>. *PhD Position in Pioneering Evidence-Based Policy Advice for Colorectal Cancer Screening and Public Health Impact*This position focuses on the transformation of scientific discoveries into actionable policy recommendations in the fields of cancer screening and environmental health. The candidate will work with biomedical screening data, morbidity and mortality data on CRC, and geospatial data on environmental pollutants, socio-economic status, and lifestyle to provide policy makers with targeted, science-based advice. We are looking for a candidate with a background in biostatistics/bioinformatics, prior experience in (bio)statistical data analysis, familiarity with GIS, and a keen interest in translating scientific findings into policy advice. This is a joint project between VITO and the University of Antwerp, and the candidate will be a member of both institutions. For more information on the position and how to apply, please click here <https://jobs.vito.be/o/phd-position-pioneering-evidencebased-policy-advice-…> . Both positions offer a fully-funded 4-year research project, a competitive remuneration package, a hybrid working schema, participation in exciting projects, and career development opportunities in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary research team. Applications will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis, so we encourage you to apply early. If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to contact us. Please share this opportunity within your networks and with any colleagues who might be interested. Best Regards, -- Gökhan Ertaylan, PhD VITO Research Lead Precision Health
