[Gtpb] IBSTATB15 Biostatistics for Biologists
by Pedro Fernandes 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Dear GTPB This is too short notice, I know and apologise. However it is still a great opportunity to learn or relearn statistics with lots of practicals using R. IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: June 12th 2015 Course dates: June 15th - June 19th 2015 http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/IBSTATB15/ Description: "This is one of our "Foundations" type courses, providing a systematic and detailed review of fundamental concepts and techniques in Biostatistics. Participants can expect to go through a set of exercises that are based on biomedical problems. These exercises are preceded by short lectures that are simple to follow. The lectures are designed to provide the conceptual framework that is needed to release the training power of the exercises, not to flood the participants with formality, which will be kept to a minimum. We will make use of a highly interactive methodology, taking advantage of our well equipped Bioinformatics training room. With this approach, we expect to bring the participants to a high degree of usage independence in using the methods that we cover. Main topics: Descriptive Statistics; Probability; Statistical Inference; Design of Experiments. See the Detailed Program."

BioSB Course Quantitative and Predictive Modelling Date: 22-26 June, 2015 Location: Wageningen Course Coordinators: Jaap Molenaar (WUR), Natal van Riel (TUE) Website: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/course-quantitative-and-predic… Registration: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/course-quantitative-and-predic…. Note: This course is a BioSB Core Course<http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/> and as such this course is free of charge for all PhDs who are member of BioSB, and with a reduced fee for researchers (non-PhD) who are member of BioSB. You can find more information about the BioSB Membership here<http://biosb.nl/about/members/biosb-membership-information/>. On June 22-26 2015, BioSB organises the first edition of the course Quantitative and Predictive Modelling. The main theme of the Quantitative and Predictive Modelling course is how to describe the dynamic behaviour of biological systems and integrate experimental data. Concepts of modelling are introduced via a great variety of examples taken from diverse practices. The emphasis is on providing an overview of modelling approaches rather than an in-depth treatment of a few techniques. After classification of biological systems (metabolic, regulatory, signalling, population, multi-scale, statistical models), the concepts of top-down versus bottom-up modelling will be introduced, with emphasis on bottom-up approaches. Parameter estimation is an important modelling tool and will receive adequate attention. In the course Matlab will be used as software tool for the practicals. Participants not familiar with Matlab will get a short introduction. This course is primarily targeted at academic researchers such as PhD students and Postdocs in Life Sciences, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology or Biomedical Engineering. Participants from private sector are also welcome. Participants are expected to have some experience in modelling with differential equations or to have followed Introductory courses from the BiosB Course Portfolio<http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/>, e.g. E-course modelling , E-course calculus, Discovering Systems Biology Principles or Applications for Systems Biology and Bioinformatics in the Medical Sciences. The course will start with a session to refresh the basic elements of modelling with differential equations. This course is part of the Education Programme of BioSB, the Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research School, which offers training and education for in bioinformatics and systems biology.

vacancy PhD student
by Willem Waegeman 29 May '15

29 May '15

Fully funded PhD studentship in constructive machine learning for the life sciences at Ghent University --- Duration of studentship: 4 years Studentship start date: September 2015 Application closing date: July 1st (will be extended if no suitable candidate is found). Apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment! --- Project description: Constructive machine learning describes a class of related machine learning problems where the ultimate goal of learning is not to find a good model of the data but instead to find one or more particular instances of the domain which are likely to exhibit desired properties. While traditional approaches choose these domain instances from a given set/databases of unlabeled domain instances, constructive machine learning is typically iterative and searches an infinite or exponentially large instance space. Interesting applications in the life sciences are in the domains of chemistry (e.g. de novo drug design), biology (e.g. gene design, metabolic path design, RNA polymer design), food sciences (e.g. generation of novel food recipes or cocktails) and spatio-temporal modelling (e.g. prediction of spatio-temporal maps that evolve in time, as in climate analysis and ecology). This project will focus on the development of novel constructive machine learning methods with a particular emphasis on large output spaces, streaming data and decomposition techniques for output spaces. Background information: The studentship is available in the research unit KERMIT of Ghent University (acronym for Knowledge Extraction and Representation Management by means of Intelligent techniques) under supervision of Prof. Willem Waegeman. KERMIT is a young interdisciplinary team of mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists, and it draws upon intelligent techniques resulting from the cross-fertilization between the fields of computational intelligence and operations research. The main focus is on mathematical and computational aspects of relational structures as knowledge instruments, with emphasis on the fields of fuzzy set theory and machine learning. KERMIT serves as an attraction pole for applications in the applied biological sciences, and serves colleagues in hydrology, ecology, bacterial taxonomy, genome analysis, integrated water management, geographical information systems, forest management, metabolic engineering, soil science, bioinformatics, systems biology, etc. The ideal candidate for the position has the following profile: - An MSc degree in (Bio-)Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Bio-informatics, Physics, or equivalent – candidates from outside Belgium are welcome. - An interest in fundamental machine learning research, as well as practical applications in the life sciences - In-depth experience with at least one programming language (Matlab, R, Python, Java, etc.) - An interest for applied mathematics, data management and data analysis in general - Good knowledge of machine learning and statistical methods is a strong asset - Fluent in English (speaking and writing, as demonstrated by personal texts) - Knowledge of Dutch is an asset, but not a must - Team player with good communication skills How to apply: Send your c.v., a motivation letter and a copy of your MSc.-thesis and/or any relevant publications to Mrs. Ruth Van Den Driessche (ruth.vandendriessche(a)ugent.be) -- Prof. dr.

GCB 2015 invites the submission of papers on all aspects of bioinformatics. The conference language is English. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Methods for genomics and metagenomics * Methods for transcriptomics and metatranscriptomics * Methods for metabolomics * Poly-omics analyses * Personalized medicine * Network and pathway analysis * Bioimage informatics * Structural modeling * Visualization of large biological datasets * Workflow management for big data GCB invites contributions of the following types, with detailed information below: * Workshops and tutorials (31.05.2015) * Proceedings papers (30.06.2015), published at PeerJ PrePrints * Highlight abstracts (30.06.2015) * Junior research group presentations (30.06.2015), new! * Poster abstracts (31.07.2015) See also http://www.gcb2015.de <http://www.gcb2015.de/> Call for Workshops and Tutorials by May 31, 2015 ================================================ A whole day of GCB (Sunday, September 27, 2015) is devoted to tutorials and workshops on current hot topics of bioinformatics. This is an excellent opportunity for new PhD students (or more experienced scientists entering a new research area) to get up to speed with new methods, techniques and tools. While tutorials provide an in-depth introduction to a particular method, technique or tool (e.g., a collection of R/BioConductor packages, or multiple testing in bioinformatics), workshops should provide a broad overview of a current hot topic, where the workshop organizers invite or call for contributions from experts in the field. Both workshop and tutorials can be half-day (3 hrs, morning or afternoon), or full-day (2x 3hrs). Please clearly indicate the duration in the proposal. Prospective workshop or tutorial organizers are encouraged to contact the GCB program chairs and submit a workshop proposal until 31.05.2015. Please submit your proposal electronically as a pdf file to tutorial-@-gcb2015-dot-de with the subject line "GCB workshop proposal: yourworkshoptitle". Workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, inviting and selecting the contributions and guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the conference. Workshop papers will not be published in the GCB conference proceedings, but may be published in other formats chosen by the workshop organizers. Both tutorial and workshop submissions must include * name and affiliations of the organizers, * a one-page description of the topic and its relevance and value to the GCB community, * a brief description of the submitters' qualification/experience with the topic. Workshop submission must further include * a draft time schedule for the workshop (CFP, deadlines, etc.), * a list of potential members of the workshop's program committee, * an estimation of the number of attendees, * a draft list of potential authors / presenters. Tutorial submissions must include * proof of the submitters' pedagogical qualifications Important: Workshop organizers and speakers must pay their expenses, including GCB registration, to participate in the meeting. The GCB organizers will help in the administrative aspects of assigning the rooms, announcements and adding the detailed schedule to the conference program. Note that the GCB cannot financially support the speakers or the workshop organizers. (Exceptions due to unusual circumstances can be discussed with the program chairs.) Call for Proceedings Papers (Extended Abstracts) by June 30, 2015 ================================================================= Proceedings papers are like regular computer science conference papers. These submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee and judged by quality, originality and relevance. Accepted papers will be published as a special collection at PeerJ PrePrints with a unique "GCB 2015" label. Authors of accepted papers will have the additional option to submit them (or an extended version) to the regular PeerJ journal (either PeerJ Computer Science, or PeerJ the biology journal, depending on which journal is more appropriate) immediately or later, together with the conference reviews to facilitate speedier review at the journal. Accepted papers which are published at PeerJ will also appear in the "GCB 2015" Collection (a virtual collection of all the "GCB 2015" output which is published at PeerJ). Of course, authors may alternatively submit their work to any other journal of their choice that allows existing preprints. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference, and at least one author of each accepted paper must register before the early registration deadline. Proceedings papers must be submitted via EasyChair and should be 8-10 pages long using the provided template (see the submissions page). Call for Highlight Abstracts by June 30, 2015 ============================================= Highlight abstracts should refer to one or two of the authors' recent papers that report on work of high importance and were published during the present or past year. Typical topics might include biological findings with bioinformatics methods, new computational methods or new software tools. The general topics of interest correspond to those for proceedings papers. The abstracts should summarize the findings of the referenced paper(s), explain their importance and mention which areas of the paper(s) the talk will focus on, as opposed to presenting the whole paper(s). Highlight abstract submissions will be reviewed by the program committee and judged by the importance and novelty of the findings and by relevance to the conference audience. Accepted highlight abstracts will collected into one document "Highlight Abstracts of GCB 2015" that will be published at PeerJ Preprints in the "GCB 2015" Collection. Accepted highlight abstracts must be presented at the conference, and at least one author of each accepted abstract must register before the early registration deadline. Highlight abstracts must be submitted via EasyChair, should be at most 4 pages long and use the provided abstract template. Call for Junior Research Group Presentations (New!) by June 30, 2015 ==================================================================== This new track calls for abstracts from junior group leaders (definition: have their own (small) group, do not have a permanent position) to present their area of research and to highlight recent findings from their group. These abstracts should be similar to highlight abstracts, but may reference more of the group's papers, giving a good and complete picture of the group's research focus as a whole. Accepted highlight abstracts will collected into one document "Junior Research Group Presentations of GCB 2015" that will be published at PeerJ Preprints in the "GCB 2015" Collection. Accepted junior research group presentations must be given at the conference, and the group leader must register before the early registration deadline. Junior research group abstracts must be submitted via EasyChair, should be at most 4 pages long and use the provided abstract template. Call for Posters by July 31, 2015 ================================= Posters should present recent scientific work in any area of bioinformatics. Poster abstracts will be reviewed by the organizing committee for clarity and novelty. Accepted poster abstracts will collected into one document "Poster Abstracts of GCB 2015" that will be published at PeerJ Preprints in the "GCB 2015" Collection. Accepted posters must be brought to and presented at the conference. The designated poster presenter must register before the early registration deadline and indicate whether she or he wants to give a flash presentation (1 slide, 1 minute). Poster abstracts must be submitted via EasyChair, can be at most a single page long (including references) and use the provided abstract template. Detailed Information ==================== Please visit http://www.gcb2015.de <http://www.gcb2015.de/> for details and submission information. At this time, LaTeX templates for submissions are online, but EasyChair submission is not yet open.
