Job offer for a postdoctoral researcher in genomics / bioinformatics (2 years)

Fri, 22 Oct 2021 04:44:33 -0500

Ongoing research in the group of Karine Van Doninck involves topics at the core of
evolutionary biology, including the evolution of sex, genome maintenance,
recombination and extreme stress resistance on different eukaryotic systems,
including rotifers, amoeba and Corbicula clams. We are employing different tools
(including experimental ecology, population genetics, phylogeny, comparative
genomics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, molecular and cellular biology) to study
evolutionary processes at the level of populations, both experimental and natural, and
genomes.

Offer
We offer a full-time contract for two years. The contract starts between October 2021
and December 2021. The position involves no or extremely light teaching load, if the
candidate is interested. Salaries are competitive at the European level. The recruited
person will benefit from the Belgian social insurance scheme (health care, etc.) without
additional expenses.

Profile
Applicants are expected to show outstanding commitment to research and must have
obtained a PhD by the start of the position. A strong expertise in genomics is required.
More specifically, solid competences in bioinformatics (e.g. scripting pipelines) and in
genome evolution are needed. Knowledge or interest regarding recombination,
metazoan evolution, phylogenomics and population genomics is an added-value.

Application
Applications should be submitted via email to karine.van.doninck@ulb.be. The
application package should contain the following documents:
- A curriculum vitae with the complete list of publications
- A cover letter mentioning why the candidate is interested in the position
- Minimum 2 recommendation letters
Interviews: Interviews will be conducted with the selected candidates. Selected
candidates could also be invited to give a seminar to MBE ULB.

PhD positions on integrative omics and phylogenomics

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 05:11:11 -0500

Would you like to participate in an exciting interdisciplinary research project to discover the hidden chemistry of plants and its evolution using computational omics approaches? Do you enjoy collaboration and teamwork while being at the cutting edge of scientific progress? We are looking for two PhD candidates with complementary skills to pioneer new technologies to analyze, explore and leverage the diversity of plant chemistry hidden in plant genomes.

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.

1. Ktrim: An extra-fast, accurate adapter trimmer for sequencing data. It processes FASTQ files from multiple lanes with minimal mismatching and over-trimming of adapters.

2. BWA MEM: A reliable alignment tool (particularly for mapping ALT contigs and HLA genes, which are not fully addressed in BWA-MEM2).

3. Sambamba markdup: Quickly marks or removes duplicate reads using Picard's criteria.

4. ichorCNA: Estimates the tumor DNA fraction in cell-free DNA from ultra-low-pass whole genome sequencing (0.1x coverage) based on copy number alterations (CNA).

5. Fragle: A deep learning method for quantifying ctDNA levels from cell-free DNA fragmentomic profiles. It detects TF as low as ~1% ctDNA and works with targeted genomic panel sequencing data.

6. AlfredQC: A quality control tool for high-throughput sequencing data. It assesses metrics like read quality scores, GC content, and duplication rates, visualized through detailed plots and summary statistics.

7. Mosdepth: A fast tool for calculating sequencing coverage depth, offering a quicker alternative to samtools/sambamba depth by processing BAM and CRAM files.

8. Bedtools: A versatile toolkit for genomics, enabling operations like intersect, merge, count, and shuffle on genomic intervals across formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, and VCF.
