While the Advanced Course and Symposium on Artificial Intelligence & Neuroscience (ACAIN) is a full-immersion residential (or online) Course and Symposium at the Certosa di Pontignano (Tuscany - Italy) on cutting-edge advances in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating environment for academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results with oral talks or posters, and to interact with their peers, in a friendly and constructive environment. Two days of keynote talks and oral presentations, the ACAIN Symposium, (September 21-22), will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists, the ACAIN Course, (September 19-20). Bringing together AI and neuroscience promises to yield benefits for both fields. The future impact and progress in both AI and Neuroscience will strongly depend on continuous synergy and efficient cooperation between the two research communities. These are the goals of the International Course and Symposium – ACAIN 2022, which is aimed both at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI. ACAIN 2022 accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and neuroscience. For four days you will work alongside faculty that are undisputed leaders in their own field. The result is a profound experience that fosters professional and personal development. In a proven, unique format you will be exposed to a high-impact learning experience, taking you outside the comfort zone of your own technical expertise, that will empower you with new analytical and strategic skills across areas of Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience. Through an increased awareness of the challenges in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience, you will gain a place within an elite global network of experts from both fields and learn how their skills apply to your own discipline. The Advanced Course is suited for younger scholars, academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. Moreover, a significant proportion of seasoned investigators are regularly present among the attendees, often senior faculty at their own institutions. The balanced audience that we strive to maintain in each Advanced Course greatly contributes to the development of intense cross-disciplinary debates among faculty and participants that typically address the most advanced and emerging areas of each topic. For four days, the faculty members will present lectures, and discuss with participants in a smaller, more focused setting. This longer interaction, with an exclusive course size, provides the best opportunity to explore the unique expertise of each distinguished faculty mentor, often through one-on-one mentoring. This is unparalleled and priceless. The Event (Course and Symposium) will involve a total of 36-40 hours of lectures. Academically, this will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students and the Master Students attending the Event. The Certosa di Pontignano provides the perfect learning atmosphere that is both relaxing, and intellectually stimulating, with a stunning backdrop of the Tuscany landscapes. Arts, Landscapes, world-class wines and traditional foods will make the Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience the experience of a lifetime!

The starting point is a pangenomic variant calling tool PanVC+founders (https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btab516). The idea is to further develop its indexing and alignment techniques and make the full workflow work in a distributed cluster environment. This project is part of a large consortium focusing on distributed computing for pangenomics and metagenomics, so there will be networking opportunities on related topics as well. In particular, extension of the initial contract (X/2022-12/2022) to two years is possible with the consortium partner, Academy Professor Lauri Aaltonen, head of the Centre of Excellence in Tumor Genetics Research. If you are interested, please contact veli.makinen at helsinki.fi for further information. Application details can be found following the link above. -- Veli Mäkinen, Professor Department of Computer Science University of Helsinki www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/vmakinen From chen.meng at tum.de Mon Jan 31 10:37:07 2022 From: chen.meng at tum.de (Meng, Chen) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2022 09:37:07 +0000 Subject: [SocBiN] 12 Doctoral Candidates f/m/d Plant Proteomics, Bioinformatics and Biology Message-ID: The opportunity: Plants are the nutritional basis of life on earth and protein-rich foods from plants are a global megatrend essential for sustaining an increasing human population and counteracting climate change. However, little is known about crop proteomes – the entirety of proteins that execute and control nearly every aspect of life. Therefore, TUM has launched a visionary initiative with high socio-economic relevance on the topic of “The Proteomes that Feed the World”. This international doctoral program peruses the following major aims: 1. To train and develop future leaders in science, industry and society who excel in research, management and communication. This will be achieved by implementing a professional training and project management structure in which doctoral candidates (DCs) master challenging roles, take on substantial responsibility and acquire important transferable skills. 2. To create a proteome atlas of the 100 most important crop plants for human nutrition. This project brings together an interdisciplinary team with leading expertise in plant science, proteomics and bioinformatics. Added value comes from a large international network of excellent academic and industry partners as well as a vibrant local scientific community. 3. To perform internationally competitive crop plant research for which DCs will obtain their academic degrees. Topics cover improving yield, quantity and quality, exploiting interactions with insects, microbes, the soil, the climate, protecting plants from pests and pathogens and building molecular and digital research tools. Requirements: Candidates must hold an internationally recognized MSc degree in a life science discipline or in (bio-)informatics. We aim to recruit individuals of the highest potential typically from the top 10% of an academic year. Candidates and must have a good command of the English language and very good interpersonal and intercultural skills. We are looking for selfmotivated and broadly interested individuals with a strong sense of responsibility. Our offer: The positions are available for four years. You will join an interdisciplinary team of life scientists and bioinformaticians who use the latest proteomic approaches and equipment to better understand plant biology. The TUM is one of the best academic institutions in Germany, a well worked out international program, offers a stimulating work environment and excellent future perspectives. Application process: Applicants should send a dossier containing a motivational statement (max. one page), a curriculum vitae summarizing qualifications and experience, copies of degrees and transcripts of study records, names and the email addresses of at least one referee as a single PDF document and no later than March 31st 2022 to info.proteomics at ls.tum.de. Online interviews will be conducted with selected candidates and remaining shortlisted candidates will be invited to the TUM campus in Freising, Germany for one full week of face-to-face meetings with representatives of the faculty of life sciences, the TUM Graduate School and individual research groups. All successful candidates are required to start October 1st, 2022 -------------------- Dr. Chen Meng BayBioMS Zentrum Bayerisches Zentrum für Biomolekulare Massenspektrometrie / Bavarian Center for Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry Technische Universität München Gregor-Mendel-Straße 4 85354 Freising DEUTSCHLAND / GERMANY Tel. / Phone: +49 8161 71-6129 E-Mail:chen.meng at tum.de www.baybioms.tum.de -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
