Helis Academy Training on deep learning for Life Sciences & Health
by Dupuis, Lauren (BIGCAT) 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Good afternoon colleague, On the 13th of October 2020, Helis Academy and TU/e will organize an online course on Deep Learning. This online program provides the opportunity to get insights on theory, current practice in industry and expected possible future practice in industry within just one day, right from behind your own PC. At the end of the training, you should be able to understand: how to develop a Machine Learning problem formulation, how to design and train Machine Learning models for high dimensional data (Signals with spatial correlation such as images, and temporal correlation such as sequences) and how to develop applications using deep neural network models for classification, regression, and retrieval of high dimensional data. More information and registration is available here: https://helisacademy-trainingondeeplearning.eventbrite.nl<https://helisacademy-trainingondeeplearning.eventbrite.nl/> ?Best regards, The Helis Academy?

PhD position: Investigation of biodegradation pathways in Daphnia and freshwater microbiomes
by Karoline Faust 28 Aug '20

28 Aug '20

PhD position: Investigation of biodegradation pathways in Daphnia and freshwater microbiomes The PlasticDaphnia consortium is looking for a motivated PhD student who is interested in the analysis of microbial 16S rRNA and whole genome sequencing data. The PhD student will be supervised by: Prof. Faust<http://tinyurl.com/MicrobialSysBio> (Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation), Prof. Springael<https://www.kuleuven.be/wieiswie/en/person/00037739> (Division of Soil and Water Management) and Prof. Decaestecker<https://www.kuleuven-kulak.be/nl/onderzoek/Onderzoeksdomeinen/aquatische-bi…> (Department of Biology). Project The overall goal of the PlasticDaphnia project is the development of new plastics that are more biodegradable and thus pose lower environmental risks than conventional plastics. The filter feeder Daphnia is a crucial species in freshwater ecosystems and is traditionally used as a bioindicator for water quality. Its diverse microbiome is known to harbour biodegradation capabilities, which will be further explored in this project. The task of the PhD student is to analyse 16S rRNA sequencing data of Daphnia and freshwater microbiomes and to build and apply a new metagenomics/metatranscriptomics analysis pipeline to quantify the abundance/transcription of biodegradation pathways in complex communities. Profile Two types of profiles are acceptable: Background in informatics/applied mathematics ● good knowledge of an object-oriented and/or a statistical programming language, modern IDEs, version control and/or experience with computer clusters ● basic knowledge of biochemistry and of microbiology or ecology ● strong interest in microbial ecology and sequencing data analysis Background in biology/computational biology/bioinformatics ● good knowledge of biochemistry and of microbiology or ecology ● basic knowledge of an object-oriented and/or statistical programming language ● strong motivation to improve programming skills The PhD candidate is expected to apply for an FWO PhD fellowship and should therefore meet the eligibility criteria. Proficiency in English is required, experience with NGS analysis tools and/or knowledge of metabolic network theory is a plus. Offer ● funding available for 4 years ● enrolment at one of the top universities in Europe ● part of an interdisciplinary research team ● competitive salary Interested? Please submit your application consisting of your CV, motivation letter and contact details for at least 2 references via the online application tool (https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/55796938) The closing date for applications is the 1st of October 2020. The intended starting date is the 16th of November 2020 but can be negotiated. Interviews will be held in October. For more information, please contact Prof. Karoline Faust (karoline.faust(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:karoline.faust@kuleuven.be>), Prof. Dirk Springael (dirk.springael(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:dirk.springael@kuleuven.be>) or Prof. Ellen Decaestecker (ellen.decaestecker(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:ellen.decaestecker@kuleuven.be>).
