*Postdoc position Machine Learning for network-based analysis*
*Job description*: The DBN group headed by K. Marchal has a vacancy for
a postdoctoral researcher interested in a combination of research and
teaching (3 year Dr Assistant position). The research will focus on the
development and application of systems genetics approaches to identify
driver pathways underlying adaptive clonal phenotypes. Innovative
methods based on state-of-the-art datamining techniques need to be
developed in order to integrate genomic information derived from cohorts
of samples with phenotypic information. Methods will be applied to study
the evolvability of network rewiring and interclonal interactions during
adaptive responses in cancer and/or microbial systems. Next to research
also an active involvement in teaching and student supervision is required.
*Context*: The DBN group headed by K. Marchal is located at the
engineering faculty of Ghent University (IDLab/IMEC). The group’ s
research focus is on bioinformatics method development. The group is
specialized in combining advanced datamining techniques with biological
principles (http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/DBN/) and has major
expertise in network inference and network-based data-integration.
*Key words:*data sciences, machine learning, cancer genomics, clonal systems
*Expertise*
•You hold a PhD degree in Sciences; in Bioinformatics, in Applied
Biological Sciences (Bioengineering); in Engineering
•Strong interest in research and teachingbioinfomatics related courses
•Strong interest in method development and data mining
•Strong interest in interdisciplinary research
•Knowledge in molecular biology or genomics is a plus
•Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Perl or Python, as
well as Linux systems.
•Fluency in spoken and written English is a strong requirement
