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.

- Plan more efficient experiments
- Correctly interpret results
- Communicate results in publications more effectively

The course focus is on methodologies, not on particular software tools. After the course participants should be able to apply the methods in their respective environment. However, during the course, hands-on sessions will be performed using the Genedata Expressionist® software, which enables participants to quickly apply the discussed methods and visualize results. No previous knowledge on Expressionist® is required; access to the software is free of charge during the course.

For some reason best known to itself, my PDF creator doesn't like the slide with the substitution matrix on.  Therefore this has been removed from Lectures 3 and 7 for the PDF copy only - however, more information on these matrices can be found here.

Professor/Senior Lecturer of Comparative Genomics
Vacancy Ref: 153610
Salary: Professor, Grade 10 will be within the Professorial range and
subject to negotiation
Senior Lecturer, Grade 9, 57,696 - 64,914 per annum

The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine has an
exciting opportunity to appoint a Professor/Senior Lecturer in Comparative
Genomics. You will make a substantial and positive contribution to the
strategic direction of the School/College through leading and contributing
to research of international standard, high quality teaching at both
undergraduate and postgraduate level, securing research funding, and
providing academic leadership and management within the School/College.

Applications are invited from candidates of international standing with
an appropriate record of academic achievement in comparative genomics
and associated omics technologies. We are looking for a candidate who
will complement our existing strengths in clinical veterinary medicine,
evolutionary biology, and animal physiology, with a demonstrable interest
in using domestic mammals among their study systems. We are particularly
interested in applications from candidates with a track record of
studying health related traits and their underlying genomic basis in
companion animals. Traits of specific interest include those related
to metabolism, ageing, and disease (e.g. cancer, autoimmune diseases,
neuromuscular disorders).

The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine is home to
researchers studying organismal biology and animal health across a diverse
range of systems, approaches and disciplines with existing strengths
in infectious disease, physiology, ageing, veterinary epidemiology, and
evolution among others. You will be based on the University of Glasgow's
Garscube campus, where the majority of veterinary teaching and research
infrastructure is located. This includes the Small Animal Hospital (a
recent 15M investment) and our Veterinary Diagnostic Services, offering
excellent opportunities for collaborative research at the clinical and
translational interface, especially with respect to companion animals.

We welcome applications from candidates with a Scottish Credit and
Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) in animal biology, genomics and
health or related discipline with an extensive and established reputation
in research and significant teaching experience within the subject area.
