Postdoc Opportunity in Marine Genomics, IFREMER, France
by BeNeLux bioinformaticians forum 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

Postdoctoral Opportunity in Genomics and Bioinformatics at IFREMER Brest (French Research Institute for the Exploration of the Sea) Marine organisms living on intertidal habitats are exposed to highly variable environments to which they must respond rapidly. Understanding the mechanisms that allow intertidal organisms to respond to environmental change is an important step to better understanding species responses to climate change. Protein kinases are a family of molecules that are involved in signal transduction and stress response, and that are often involved in detecting and modulating cellular responses to environmental change. Increasing genomic resources allow us to examine the full complement of protein kinases in organisms (the kinome), providing an unique opportunity to better understand the role of kinases in the adaptation of organisms to climate change. We are currently seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on the kinome of the honeycomb worm (Sabellaria alveolata), a reef-building species which commonly builds bioconstructions across Europe, and has been estimated to be the largest temperate reef-builder on European shores. We have recently sequenced and annotated the S. alveolata genome, and we have further developed a bioinformatics pipeline which searches for conserved motifs in protein kinases, allowing us to retrieve the kinome for any organism (KiNext). In order to better understand local adaptation to temperature in the honeycomb worm, we have transplanted reef blocks from 5 locations in Europe (Scotland, English Channel, southern Bay of Biscay, Portugal and Morocco), exposed them to 5 temperature treatments, and sequenced transcriptomes to examine heat stress and local adaptation to heat. We are looking for a postdoc who will conduct the transcriptomic analyses, examining all genes that are differentially expressed, but with a particular focus on the protein kinases. The postdoc will use the KiNext pipeline to annotate protein kinases, and further examine kinase response to heat stress. Candidates should have experience with bioinformatics (preferably command-line). Experience with transcriptomics or ecotoxicology are desired but not mandatory. Our funding source has eligibility criteria which stipulates that the position be open to all nationalities except French (unless currently residing outside of France). Please send an email and CV to flavia.nunes(a)ifremer.fr by June 30, 2023. -- Flavia Nunes Laboratory of Coastal Benthic Ecology Ifremer Centre de Bretagne 1625 route de Sainte-Anne, CS 10070 29280 Plouzané, France phone: +33 2 98 22 49 27 wwz.ifremer.fr/dyneco/Lab.-Lebco

Train-the-Trainer | Integration of the sex and gender dimension in life sciences research
by BeNeLux bioinformaticians forum 13 Jun '23

13 Jun '23

Dear BBC list, On behalf of the Bioinfo4Women programme, we are delighted to share this train the trainer course to equip research infrastructures, research centers and training providers on how to introduce the sex and gender dimension in life sciences training portfolios. The inclusion of the sex and gender dimension in life sciences is increasingly promoted by the European Union to rethink standards and reference models for sex and gender representation in research projects. Thus, training biomedical researchers in this topic will increase their capacity to integrate the sex and gender dimension into their work, leading to more inclusive and impactful science. We invite you to this train-the-trainer course aimed at developing participants’ skills on how to introduce the sex and gender dimension into their training related to the life sciences. Learning objectives At the end of this course, participants are expected to: * LO1: Understand the appropriate applications of the terms “sex” and “gender” in biomedical research in training actions * LO2: Identify, understand, and think critically about different perspectives on the complexity of sex and gender dimension in biomedical research and how to communicate them in training activities. * LO3: Identify how the categories of sex and gender affect the life sciences and training in this domain, in particular regarding the generation, collection and utilisation of data in research. * LO4: Select, compile, and synthesise information on the inclusion of the sex and gender dimension in research and integrate it into their training portfolio. *Course details* * What? Train-the-Trainer | Integration of the sex and gender dimension in life sciences research * When?Wednesday, June 28, 2023 from 14h to 18h and Thursday, June 29, 2023 from 9h to 13h * Where?Face to face at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) premises, Barcelona, Spain * Target audience:Training coordinators, training organisers and trainers willing to introduce the sex and gender dimension in their training portfolio, and researchers with an interest in the topic and prospects of organising training about the topic. * More details and registration:https://www.eosc-life.eu/news/how-to-integrate-the-sex-and-gender-dimension-in-life-sciences-research/ <https://www.eosc-life.eu/news/how-to-integrate-the-sex-and-gender-dimension…> This course is organised by the Bioinfo4Women programme of the Life Sciences Department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), BBMRI-ERIC, INB/ELIXIR-ES, EATRIS, and it has been funded by the 3rd EOSC-Life Training Open Call. Please share as you see fit in order to benefit as much RI and institutions as possible.
