Google runs an annual summer program called Google Summer of Code (GSoC), in which Google pays students to work on open-source software. The students work remotely from wherever they live, on projects organized by various groups under the umbrella of a mentoring organization. In the past, members of the University of Tübingen have had projects accepted under the umbrella of the NRNB (National Resource for Network Biology), doing great work and starting ongoing projects. Google is running GSoC again this year. This time the NRNB ( http://www.nrnb.org/gsoc.html) and the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) (http://obf.github.io/GSoC/) are represented. The following projects will be directly mentored at the University of Tuebingen: - NRNB http://goo.gl/JrcvYv - OpenMS http://obf.github.io/GSoC/ideas/#openms If you're a student and are interested in one of the projects, you can contact Oliver Alka, Timo Sachsenberg or Dr. Andreas Dräger for more information. If you're faculty, perhaps you could suggest this opportunity to some of your students?

There is no better place to share your work and learn from others that are addressing diverse questions and facing common challenges in data intensive biology. GCC participants work across the tree of life, come from around the world, and represent universities, research organizations, industry, medical schools and research hospitals. GCC2017 will be in Montpellier, France, 26-30 June and will feature two days of presentations, discussions, poster sessions, lightning talks, computer demos, keynotes, and birds-of-a-feather meetups, all about data-intensive biology and the tools that support it. GCC2017 also includes data and coding hackathons , and two days of training covering 16 different topics. GCC2017 will be held at Le Corum Conference Centre in the heart of Montpellier , just 10km from the Mediterranean. Abstract submission is now open. If you work in or support data intensive life science research then GCC2017 is an ideal opportunity to present your work. The deadline for oral presentations is Apr 15 (23:59 Paris local time), and posters and computer demonstration submission closes on May 27 (23:59 Paris local time). The Lightning talk submission deadline is June 23 (23:59 Paris time). Early registration is also open and starts at less than 55€ / day for post-docs and students. You can also book low cost conference housing when you register. Travel fellowships are being offered by the Galaxy Community Fund for early career researchers that are travelling from afar. About Galaxy Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for data-intensive biomedical analysis used by tens of thousands of researchers around the world. It supports ad hoc exploration and analysis through scalable and repeatable data analysis pipelines for large research studies. Galaxy is available in over 90 free and publicly accessible web servers, on public and national cloud infrastructures, and is locally installed at hundreds, if not thousands, of research organisations around the world. We hope to see you this summer in Montpellier!

The Center comprises a wide range of expertise and resources including proteomics, protein production, bioinformatics and general characterization of disease mechanisms. The Programme for Disease Systems Biology consists of two research groups covering many systems level aspects of biology and medicine, including the integration of molecular-level data and healthcare data, including biomedical texts. *Responsibilities and tasks* The Cellular Network Biology group ( www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/jensen/) led by Lars Juhl Jensen focuses on network-based analysis of proteins and their posttranslational modifications in the context of cellular signaling and disease. The postdoc will work on analysis of data from electronic health records combined with molecular-level data in the context of alcoholic liver fibrosis and be part of the GALAXY consortium (http://livergalaxy.eu/ ). Projected start date: Summer 2017. *Qualifications* Candidates for the postdoctoral positions must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) within a relevant discipline and have experience with programming and large-scale data analysis. The successful candidates will have strong qualifications or experience within several of the following areas: - Bioinformatics / computational biology - Experience with medical data - Statistical data analysis - Programming in Python and/or R The cellular network biology group is highly multidisciplinary and international. Members are expected to collaborate both within the group, within the center, nationally, and internationally; strong networking and team player skills are therefore valued. *Place of employment and work* The employment is at CPR (www.cpr.ku.dk), University of Copenhagen, located in central Copenhagen. The research environment at CPR is ambitious and international, with approx. 30 different nationalities currently represented. The Center comprises modern laboratories, supercomputer resources and state-of-the-art facilities within protein science. Seminars with high-profile international speakers and regular internal research seminars are organized at the Center. The selected candidate should expect some travel activity.
