Dear all, Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine in collaboration with Center for Neurogenomics in Amsterdam is currently seeking a postdoctoral research assistant or PhD student to work in the group of prof. Antonio del Sol. The aim of the project is to investigate novel statistical and data mining techniques to analyze high-throughput high-content functional image data of neuronal proteins implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells are used as an in vitro cell model to study the effects of candidate PD susceptibility genes on dopamine neuron differentiation and viability. Successful candidate will be responsible for the development of scientific methodologies and computational solutions for the interpretation of high-throughput imaging data. Experience in network analysis will be an important asset. QUALIFICATIONS • PhD (or Msc) in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer sciences, statistics or molecular biology; • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; • Experience in the large-scale data analysis and software programming skills; • Experience with machine-learning, feature-selection techniques and network analysis is a definite asset; • Good background in statistics; • Experience with Unix/Linux environment The position is for 3 years for postdoc or 4 years for PhD student and is funded by an FNR Luxembourg grant. The successful candidate will actively participate in grant preparation process. For further information, please contact: prof. dr.
