The Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) 
<http://sils.uva.nl/>is one of the Faculty of Science's 
<http://www.uva.nl/en/about-the-uva/organisation/faculties/faculties/faculties/content/folder/faculteit-der-natuurwetenschappen-wiskunde-en-informatica/faculty-of-science.html>largest 
institutes. Its approximately 200 scientists and staff members work in 
14 research groups that perform excellent research centered on four 
themes: 1) The Living Cell, 2) Plant Signaling, 3) Neuroscience, and 4) 
Life Science Technologies.

The MAD: Dutch Genomics Service & Support Provider is the genomics 
technologies and applied bioinformatics expertise center of SILS. Since 
2000 an enthusiastic team of 15 diverse specialists focuses on the 
innovation, implementation and application of microarray technology, 
next-generation sequencing technology, and bioinformatics methods. This 
includes the use of these approaches in biological and biomedical 
research in collaboration with many other research groups. As such, the 
MAD operates as a genomics scientific collaborator in numerous research 
projects within SILS, other universities and academic hospitals, as well 
as various companies in the Netherlands.

In the context of these collaborations, we are seeking an Applied 
Bioinformatician.

*Project Description *

The MAD has a long-standing expertise in advanced transcriptomics 
analysis. Next to the well-established microarray technology, the 
MAD-IBU was granted a 'NWO middelgroot project' with which a set-up 
next-generation sequencing (IonProton) has been set up. Also the 
required ICT infrastructure, as well as the bioinformatics environment 
has been created. This offers a unique starting point for an exciting 
mixture of established and innovative genomics experimentation both for 
our own research and that of our collaborators. These experiments 
concern transcriptome research, cancer research, toxicogenomics, food 
safety, ageing, plant sciences, ecogenomics, neurosciences, etc. MAD is 
intertwined with the recently established research group "RNA Biology 
and Applied Bioinformatics (RB&AB)".

The applied bioinformatician will play a key role in the bioinformatics 
analysis of transcriptomics and genomics experiments. He/she will employ 
all necessary bioinformatics methods, tools and infrastructure in close 
cooperation with MAD and RB&AB wet-lab scientists as well as scientists 
from collaborating institutes and companies. The bioinformatician will 
be embedded in and supported by the whole MAD/RB&AB dry-lab team.

*Requirements
*HBO or MSc. in bioinformatics or expertise at a comparable professional 
level.
Experience with scripting in R, Python or Perl.
Affinity with life-science research.
Basic skills in applied biostatistics.
Good communicative skills.
