Postdoctoral position in Cancer Genome Variation and Genome Regulation 2010, Belgium
Job Description: Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Laboratory of Computational Biology at the Center for Human Genetics, University of Leuven, Belgium.
Your research will focus on developing algorithms for the integrated analysis of cis-regulatory and next-generation sequence data, both RNA-Seq and DNA-Seq, with the goal of identifying coding and non-coding variations underlying oncogenesis and developmental diversity. Particular focus will be on integrating genomic variation with transcriptional modules and gene regulatory networks and on the identification of genomic regulatory variations.
Context:
* You have the opportunity to apply your methods both on patient samples and on mammalian and Drosophila model systems.
* You will work in collaboration with the MPL lab (Molecular Pathogenesis of Leukemia) for next-generation sequencing experiments and functional validations in leukemia cell lines.
* You will have contacts with the Genomics Core Facility, hosting an Illumina HiSEQ2000 and a Roche 454 sequencer.
* You will be part of the Leuven SymBioSys Center of Excellence for Computational Systems Biology, where you will be surrounded by several other postdocs and students in a stimulating environment consisting of four bioinformatics research groups and four genomics labs.
Qualification:
* We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic computational biologist, preferably with a proven track record in gene regulatory bioinformatics (e.g., prediction of enhancers, promoters, transcription factor binding sites, gene regulatory networks).
* Experience with transcriptomics and with the analysis of next-generation sequence data is a plus.
* PhD in bioinformatics or genomics; PhD in engineering or computer science provided substantial insight in genetics; PhD in biological sciences provided substantial programming experience.
* Skills: genome informatics, statistics, programming.
