Course on how to make “FAIR Training Material By Design” – 18-19 September 2024 - Uppsala, Sweden
by BeNeLux bioinformaticians forum 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Hi all, For the ELIXIR Community and beyond: a course on how to make “FAIR Training Material By Design<https://training.scilifelab.se/events/fair-training-material-by-design>” – 18-19 September 2024 - Uppsala, Sweden. This is a 2 day course based on the FAIR training handbook<https://elixir-europe-training.github.io/ELIXIR-TrP-FAIR-training-handbook/> and the 10 simple rules to make material FAIR<https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007854> publication. Sessions are structured in a way that complement each other aiming to introduce participants with a theoretical & hands-on approach of how to create FAIR material by design. Activities are intended to increase the technical skills and critical thinking during the development of a new training course. From A to Z participants are going to be challenged to work in a group to build a FAIR lesson on a topic to be presented at the end of the course. Apply now via this link<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjEBdmmxDsnzPQEIq3ShRsuSuS3ARxqcT…> The course will also come to Belgium at a later moment. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Alex

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.
