Dear all, We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate with a good background in statistics/bioinformatics/data science. You can find more details further down this email. Best wishes, Olivier *Data Integration Methods for Single Cell CyTof Experiments* At the Data Science Institute of Hasselt University, we are looking for a PhD student to work on statistical / bioinformatics methods for single cell CyTof data, and the integration of this data source with other high-dimensional (-omics) datasets. We aim to develop new methods for CyTof data dimension reduction and visualisation, and to integrate the CyTof data with baseline patient characteristics and with other high-dimensional data sources (e.g. SNP, RNASeq). This must allow for studying the relationship between the SNP or RNASeq data and the cell populations as characterised by CyTof. We also aim to develop methods for biomarker discovery using the single cell Cytof data. The project is funded for four years by a pharmaceutical company. The anticipated starting date is January 1, 2020, but this is negotiable. We are looking for a motivated candidate with a master in statistics, bioinformatics or similar.
