The successful candidates are expected to start during spring 2017. Please see link below for more information and to apply online (application deadline: January 20, 2017). http://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=878622 Context The lab of Robin Andersson focuses on genomics and computational/statistical modeling of transcriptional regulation based on large-scale sequencing data, including experimental data generated from within the lab. We aim to characterize and better understand the architectures and complexities of transcriptional regulation and gain insights into the mechanisms of regulation. We further focus on the fundamental properties of enhancers and promoters as well as the biogenesis and characteristics of enhancer RNAs. For more information, see http://anderssonlab.org. Projects The correct function of regulatory elements and their interplay are essential for the precisely coordinated transcriptional activities within a cell. Disrupted regulatory activities may therefore have detrimental effects leading to disease. However, most variants have no or an only weakly associated trait and, in general, the impact of genetic variants on regulation is not well understood. Therefore, using our established transcription-based method to assess activities of regulatory elements and the associations between them, we aim to systematically characterize human regulatory variation and its consequences. We further aim to infer models describing the function of a regulatory element and its importance, and thus the impact on regulation upon disruption. The successful candidates are expected to work on projects related, but not limited, to 1) computational modeling of enhancer regulation and genome-wide mapping of enhancer architectures; and 2) assessment of the extent and impact of individual variation and genetic variants in regulatory architectures in order to understand their importance, stochasticity and robustness.

Interested? Please contact me: j.deridder-4 at umcutrecht.nl Position 1 - Biomarker discovery for on-chip detection of methylated DNA sequences This will be a collaboration with Nanomed Diagnostics, a start-up company (starting in 2017) that has spun-off from the University of Twente (UT). The company is developing a chip and read-out device that can be used for the rapid detection of cancer from urine (The urine-chip). The technology is based on the on-chip detection of methylated DNA sequences enriched in the urine of cancer patients. You will be in charge of the discovery of novel methylation-based biomarkers from public data using cloud-based machine learning techniques. Position 2 - Googling the cancer genome: Identification and prioritization of relevant structural variations in whole genome sequencing data of cancer patients You will develop new analytical and computational methods that enable fast and cost-efficient detection of all structural variants in whole genome sequencing data. In addition, machine-learned ranking technologies will be employed to uncover clinically relevant structural variants among the vast numbers of irrelevant variants. The project will be carried out in collaboration with a team of eScience engineers from the Netherlands eScience Center. About the lab In the de Ridder lab we create and apply innovative data science methods to advance our understanding of disease biology. Our research efforts are always inspired by a biological question and typically deal with big data, such as large-scale genomics and epigenomics datasets. As a result, much of the research floats on machine learning and data integration algorithms. We also heavily rely on high-performance computing and statistics. Typical projects of the lab include the integration of genome conformation measurements (4C and Hi-C) with genome-wide screening data, annotation and prioritization of non-coding variations (SVs and SNVs) and interpretable classification models for patient cohort data. -- Jeroen de Ridder, PhD Associate professor / Principal Investigator | University Medical Center Utrecht - Center for Molecular Medicine | Address: Universiteitsweg 100, STR 1.305 | 3584 CG Utrecht, The Netherlands | Tel: +31 (0)88 7550406 | Mob: +31 (0)6 24288813 | Skype: j_de_ridder | Secretary: Monique van Schaik, M.A.H.vanSchaick at umcutrecht.nl, +31 (0)88 7568312 -- Jeroen de Ridder, PhD Associate professor / Principal Investigator | University Medical Center Utrecht - Center for Molecular Medicine | Address: Universiteitsweg 100, STR 1.305 | 3584 CG Utrecht, The Netherlands | Tel: +31 (0)88 7550406 | Mob: +31 (0)6 24288813 | Skype: j_de_ridder | Secretary: Monique van Schaik, M.A.H.vanSchaick at umcutrecht.nl, +31 (0)88 7568312 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ De informatie opgenomen in dit bericht kan vertrouwelijk zijn en is uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde.

Synthetic Biology aims at streamlining the design and synthesis of robust and predictable biological systems using engineering design principles and advanced algorithms. Designing biological systems requires a deep understanding of how genes and proteins are organized and interact in living cells: Systems Biology aims at elucidating the cellular organization at gene, protein and network level using computational and biochemical methods. The Synthetic and Systems Biology Summer School (SSBSS) is a full-immersion five-day residential summer school at the Robinson College, University of Cambridge, UK on cutting-edge advances in systems and synthetic biology with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The school provides a stimulating environment for students (from Master students to PhD students), Post-Docs, early career researches, academics and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results, and to interact with their peers, in a friendly and constructive environment.
