We are pleased to invite you to the 3rd AsiaEvo Conference, set to
take place at the National University of Singapore, Singapore, 16-18
December 2023.

The AsiaEvo conference is a biennial event that seeks to promote
evolutionary research by facilitating international collaboration,
research, and education on evolutionary biology in Asia and beyond.

At a time when many in the Northern Hemisphere are already shoveling snow,
this exciting venue features warm tropical weather, tall skyscrapers,
rich rainforests, and fantastic food. Singapore is also centrally located
in Southeast Asia with inexpensive short flights to places like Bali,
Phuket, and Angkor Wat.

We are open to registration and proposals for symposia. For
moreinformation, please navigate to: https://phylorf.org

Some target dates:

Symposium Proposal Deadline: 1 April 2023
Abstract Submission Deadline: 1September 2023
Early Paid Registration Closes: 15 October 2023

Plants represent an untapped resource of natural bioactive compounds that significantly contribute to plant resilience to pathogens, herbivores, and abiotic stresses, and may be applied for medicine or crop protection. In this project, you will design and/or apply innovative omics integration strategies for genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics data, to discover plant specialized metabolite biosynthetic pathways and study their evolution. You will work together with the other PhD candidate in this project, which will entail a combination of algorithm development, greenhouse experiments, integrative omics analysis, and evolutionary genomics. Extensive local and international collaboration is foreseen, including possibilities for a foreign research visit as part of your PhD project.

The research is embedded within the chairs of Bioinformatics and Biosystematics. The projects will be (co-)supervised by Dr. Marnix Medema, Dr. Justin van der Hooft, Dr. Klaas Bouwmeester and Prof. Dr. Eric Schranz.

We ask

We are looking for two enthusiastic and complementary team players with all or a subset of the following skills:

a solid academic record (MSc) in bioinformatics, biology, or biotechnology
experience in computational omics analysis and proficiency in programming (in, e.g., Python)
at least basic to intermediate statistical and mathematical skills
demonstrable experience in working with next-generation sequencing data or with greenhouse experiments with plants
affinity with plant science, metabolism and/or biosynthetic pathways
you meet all the entry requirements of the WUR PhD programme.
More information

For more information about this position, please contact Marnix Medema, Associate Professor Bioinformatics, by email (marnix.medema@wur.nl).
For more information about the procedure, please contact vacaturemeldingen.psg@wur.nl.

Your tasks will consist of:

Advanced bioinformatics analyses within research projects across Sweden, including key involvement in a major research effort in conifer genomics.
Development of bioinformatics tools and workflows.
Educating other scientists in bioinformatics through collaboration within supported projects, teaching at national courses, and through participating in various networks.
Taking part in the continuous development of NBIS/SciLifeLab at a national level
