The de Ridder lab is focussed on creating and applying advanced computational techniques to high-throughput molecular datasets and develops novel data integration strategies to further disease biology. You will participate in a research project funded by the Gieskes-Strijbis fund. The project is part of a collaboration between the research groups of Dr. W. Kloosterman (Genetics), Prof. H. Clevers, PhD, MD (Hubrecht Institute) and Prof. dr. E. Witteveen (Medical Oncology). Dr. Kloosterman has a strong background in (cancer) genomics and extensive expertise in the analysis of genome and transcriptome sequencing data. Prof. H. Clevers is director of the Princess Maxima Center for pediatric oncology and key scientist behind the organoid culture system. Prof. dr. E. Witteveen is an expert on ovarian cancer biology and focuses on testing of novel cancer drugs in clinical trials. The primary focus of the PhD project is the identification and computational characterization of novel mechanisms of drug sensitivity and resistance in ovarian cancer. This will be achieved by establishing and characterizing a “living” organoid biobank for ovarian cancer using organoid technology, thus capturing to a certain extent the genetic variability of this tumour type. A major part of this project will concern the analysis and interpretation of large-scale genome and transcriptome data and the selection and molecular characterization of novel genetic variations that are associated with response to chemotherapy or targeted drugs. The latter part involves experimental models, such as mouse, cell lines and organoids, followed by functional assays. If you are (or know someone who is) educated as a bioinformatician or computational biologist with a data analysis mindset, please get in touch! The ideal candidate should have affinity with machine learning, statistics and computational science in general and demonstrable knowledge of molecular biology and/or cancer biology.

Post doc in bioinformatics at the Centre for Personalised Medicine, Linköping University, Sweden The overall aim of the Centre for Personalised Medicine (CePMed) is clinical implementation of personalised medicine, based on combining omics, computational, functional and clinical studies (Bruhn et al. Science Translational Med 2014, Gustafsson et al. Science Translational Medicine 2015). We focus on T cells because they are involved in multiple diseases and are readily obtained from peripheral blood, and optimal for functional studies. Tasks: Bioinformatics analyses of T cells, public data and electronic medical records, in close collaboration with other bioinformaticians, experimental and clinical researchers. The position is a scholarship for two years with a monthly compensation of 2500 euro (tax free). Health insurance is covered by the university. Start as soon as possible. Career prospects: A career plan is made in collaboration with each CePMed member. Close collaborations between group members is encouraged and results in publication records. This has resulted in national and international grants, as well as faculty positions for young researchers. Note that theoretical/mathematical post docs have leading roles at CePMed, if they want (=first author positions in journals like Science Transl Med, attached) Previous experiences: PhD in bioinformatics, ideally based on network or omics related research.

Background Cell factories are based on organisms, which have been carefully optimized to produce protein-based products such as enzymes and pharmaceutical proteins with the highest possible yield. However, current technology is saturated with respect to yield improvement although the theoretical maximum has not been reached yet. Within the NextProd project, the goal is to improve the yield by manipulating ncRNAs. See more at http://nextprod.dk Specific Job description Comprehensive annotation for noncoding and structured RNA on the bacillus gene is to be made from transcriptome data as well as from genomic data. In addition the include RNA interaction predictions and data when relevant. Pipeline that encompass known tools will be made. The pipeline will further include developing tools for integrating RNA structure probing data in the RNA structure annotation. Furthermore, the work will involve transcriptome and expression analyses. ncRNA RNA annotation and transcriptome analysis.
