[SocBiN] Postdoc ‘Comparative Network Biology in Plants’ - VIB Ghent-Belgium

[Torgeir Rhoden Hvidsten]

The _Comparative & Integrative Genomics lab_ (Klaas Vandepoele) and the 
_Systems Biology of Yield la_b (Dirk Inzé) of the VIB Department of 
Plant Systems Biology, is currently looking for a

**

*Postdoc in ‘Comparative Network Biology in Plants’*

**

**

*_Our mission_*

Our objective is to extract and validate biological knowledge related to 
plant growth and yield from large-scale experimental data sets using 
data integration, comparative sequence and expression analysis, and 
network exploration. In this international project, including academic 
and industrial partners, we aim to identify novel regulators of growth 
using the cross-species analysis of gene regulatory networks and gene 
function prediction.

*_Job description_*

·Fully funded Postdoc position for 2 years in the framework of an 
international research project.

·Tackle specific research questions about plant growth and yield in 
different plant species through the integration of experimental omics 
data types (e.g. RNA-Seq, phenotypes, GO functions) and computational 
biology methods (e.g. comparative genomics, network analysis).

·Interpretation of network biology results using scientific literature, 
unpublished experimental datasets and current working hypotheses.

·Work in close collaboration with computational and experimental 
colleagues, both in Ghent and abroad (through short-term visits within 
Europe).

·Reporting of results to international partners and publish in 
peer-reviewed international journals.

*_Your profile_*

·You have PhD degree in Bioinformatics, Plant Biotechnology or related.

·You are enthusiastic about scientific research and have a strong 
interest in studying plant biology using genomics and systems biology 
approaches.

·Through international peer-reviewed publications, you have a track 
record in plant genomics or systems biology research.

·You are familiar with Linux/Unix and have knowledge of Python/Perl or 
another programming/scripting language.

·You have good communication and writing skills.

·You are proficient in English.
