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. For more information contact: Dr. Claesen Jürgen (SCK-CEN), jclaesen(a)sckcen.be<https://academy.sckcen.be/en/Mailform?contactid=b22040b5-cf18-496f-a82a-3bc…> Prof. Shkedy Ziv (Hasselt University), ziv.shkedy(a)uhasselt.be<https://academy.sckcen.be/en/Mailform?contactid=51ae7733-8006-4347-b211-9a4…> Link to the project in SCK-CEN: https://academy.sckcen.be/en/Your_thesis_internship/AllTopics/Integromics--… Kind Regards, Jürgen
