Dear all,
SCK CEN and UHasselt are looking for candidates for a PhD project with the
title: “Integromics - Towards integration of big biomolecular data to
enable systems biology”
*Description*
The last decades, the development of high-throughput technologies such as
next-generation sequencing, microarrays and mass spectrometry has led to a
paradigm shift in biology and life sciences. Where previously one
biomolecule (for example, a gene, or a protein) was studied as a single
entity, these experimental techniques allow to study a set of biomolecules
(for example, the genome or the proteome) in one go and in a limited amount
of time. While, at first, experiments were analyzed independently from each
other, combining information of several experimental techniques, and
correlating them with environmental and/or clinical parameters, is,
nowadays, of great interest. As a consequence, *novel statistical and
computational methodologies for the analysis of multi-omics datasets have
to be developed*, allowing a multi-dimensional view on complex biological
processes.
In this PhD project, we aim at the development of computational methods for
the analysis of multi-omics datasets, that are commonly generated by the
three *biology units of SCK•CEN*, which will improve the understanding and
valorization of the data, and which will keep the biology units up to date
with current developments in biology and bioinformatics.
*Profile and diploma*
As a doctorate researcher you will join the dynamic bioinformatics team at SCK
CEN and CenStat (UHasselt). A successful candidate should have :
- A master's degree in biostatistics/applied
statistics/bioinformatics/statistical bioinformatics.
- You are acquainted with statistical methodologies and had exposure to
computer programming in SAS/R/Winbugs/Python.
- You can work independently and within a team.
- You have excellent communication skills.
- You are interested to develop new methodology from both theoretical
and applied aspects.
- You enjoy working in a multidisciplinary and multicultural
environment.
- You are willing to closely collaborate with
biologists/biostatisticians.
- You speak and write English fluently.
- You have work experience with at least two different “omics” platforms.
