Postdoc + PhD semantic integration/ontologies + Postdoc coordinator vacancies @Groningen
by Morris Swertz 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Dear bioinformatics colleagues and friends, I am happy to announce three open positions at UMCG Groningen, Genomics Coordination Center (and we always are looking for scientific programmers so welcome open applications as well): *Postdoc semantic integration / ontologies* to lead our ‘FAIR’ research line towards integrated analysis of large biobanks and multi-center studies in (rare)disease. Big data holds huge promise to accelerate research in human health and disease, but biomedical data is very heterogeneous and fragmented impeding integrated analysis. You will research ontologies and linked data models and methods and develop smart data integration tools for large scale retrospective data integration and ‘federated’ analysis, considering the fact that health data is often privacy sensitive and involve security/anonymity constraints. https://t.co/8998FZ3e5D *PhD student in team of Postdoc above* https://t.co/Y7eCpHHYkf *Postdoc with scientific coordinator ambitions* to promote smooth operation of large European and National data science projects in the area of cohorts, (rare) disease, and multi-omics. You will facilitate collaboration between principle investigators, PhD students, data scientists, engineers and managers, highlight (research) opportunities, promote collaboration and coordinate project deliverables in a timely manner, drive internal and external communication including organisation and preparation of semi-annual and specific project meetings to ensure a smooth progress of the research. You will be part of a social, multi-site, multi-disciplinary team of project coordinators, researchers and team leaders who together coordinate all things happening between GCC and our partners. Depending on your background and ambitions you can also take the lead in scientific publications. https://t.co/0dLlLRhYKp Best wishes, Prof.Dr. Morris A.

FW: [bioinfo] 2nd call : 1-week course single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics in Roscoff (France)
by Alexander Botzki 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Subject: [bioinfo] 2nd call : 1-week course single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics in Roscoff (France) Date : 3rd February 2019 – 8th February 2019 Place : Roscoff, France Deadline registration: 15th November (no extension possible) This one-week class focuses on the large-scale study of heterogeneity across individual cells from the genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic points of view. New technological developments enable the characterization of molecular information at a single cell resolution for large numbers of cells. The high dimensional omics data that these technologies produce comes with novel methodological challenges for the analysis. In this regard, specific bioinformatics and statistical methods have been developed in order to extract robust information. This course is directed towards engineers and researchers who regularly need to undertake single-cell data analysis as well as PhD Student and Post Doc in computational biology or bioinformatics that are interested in the development of methods and pipelines for highly dimensional single-cell data analysis. A wide range of single-cell topics will be covered in lectures, demonstrations and practical classes. Among others, the areas and issues to be addressed will include the choice of the most appropriate single-cell sequencing technology, the experimental design and the bioinformatics and statistical methods and pipelines. It is not necessary to have personal single-cell data to analyse. Deadline registration: 15th November (no extension possible) http://www.france-bioinformatique.fr/en/evenements/sincellTE_2019 -- The organizing committee: Erwan Corre, Marc Deloger, Marie-Agnès Dillies, Agnès Paquet, Antonio Rausell, Nicolas Servant, Morgane Thomas-Chollier
