This workshop is aimed at bringing together ~40 diverse speciation researchers:

- to collaborate on populating a database of published reproductive barriers based on a standardized RIO framework (https://ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/10083/). This will involve working through papers during the workshop to extract RI measures and other metadata and entering them into a draft database (some preparatory work before the workshop may be requested to facilitate these steps during the workshop)

- to start working towards a manuscript using this database to answer an outstanding question in speciation

- to network, learn about reproductive isolation, and have fun!

If you are interested in applying to participate in the workshop, please fill out the form in the link below by ** May 20th **. Room & board will be covered by the organizers; all other travel costs are the responsibility of the attendee.

The following 5 questions are those that I have heard many times during the job-search process. There is no reason for not planning responses in such situations.

1. Tell Us About Yourself
This is a very typical opener in interviews. It's a perfect question to ask, and getting something planned will really help you concentrate and ease in the conversation. However, you need to make sure that your response is applicable to the job you're interviewing.
It's probably better to keep your answer professional. Try to include these in the answer as well: where did your love of science and bioinformatics come from? How the heck did you end up in this field? Why programming and scripting ?

2. What is your plan for your bioinformatics career? / How do you look at yourself in five years? / How are your personal objectives to accomplish these goals / What are the plan for your research fundings ?

Your CV/resume has already impressed the selection panel if you have been invited for an interview. The questions from the bioinformatics interview team provide an incentive for you to market yourself and illustrate the work in question with the most appropriate knowledge.

3. What do you understand about the job description/What would your suggested research path be if you were a successful candidate?
Summarize the specifics of the advertised bioinformatics position in your own words. Follow on with some suggestions of how you want to extend your research and create your own projects within the community.

4. Will you work as a group or do you want to work on your own?
This requirement can vary from jobs to job, so when addressing, be alert. A company/research PI may need a bioinformatician that is able to work on a single project autonomously, or they may need a person who can help direct and organize a team. In your response, refer to the job description.

5. What particular methods have you used to date with your experiments?
You might have experience with all the laboratory techniques described in the job description, but stress the ones you highly experienced with. Highlight your professional abilities and stress that you are extremely capable of mastering new techniques with others ...

At the end of the day, remember that you're questioning the jury as well as they're interviewing you. You will ought to think of any questions you would like the interview panel to pose. This indicates that you have done your homework and serious about the position.

All the best for your future job interview.

We currently access an unprecedented knowledge on the basic components making up living systems. An ever growing number of new technologies are being developed with the capacity to systematically measure the behaviour of multiple cellular components, such as biochemical activities, biophysical properties, subcellular localization and interaction. These technologies produce large amounts of raw data that can be transformed into information by software and tools developed both in academia and industry. However, this biological information does not equal biological knowledge. As biology becomes large-scale, new methods have to be developed to integrate, visualize and query the large amounts of information available. This is usually beyond the expertise of experimental labs. The goal of this young computational systems biology group is to generate biological sense from the growing amount of biological data becoming available and turn biological information into biological knowledge. http://www.biw.kuleuven.be/m2s/cmpg/research/CSB

We seek a PhD student who will work as a computational biologist in the interdisciplinary project NATAR. Understanding the relationship between an organism’s genotype and phenotype remains one of biology’s fundamental challenges. In the project two model organisms, budding yeast and E. coli, will be exploited to better understand two complex genetic traits: ethanol and high temperature tolerance. For both organisms both natural variation and the outcomes of experimental evolution will be correlated with phenotypes. The first challenge in the project will be to identify which of the many variants in these genomes have functional effects. Then we will try to facilitate unravelling complex interactions between alleles, for example through functional gene networks that are based on a combination of published data. An important part of the generated data that underlies this project consists of high-throughput sequencing of DNA and mRNA of populations and isolates. For answering specific questions data integration with other data sources will be needed as well as the application of specific machine learning techniques. Basic molecular biology knowledge and basic programming skills are a prerequisite for this position. Experience with high throughput sequencing analysis methods, machine learning, protein interaction databases, perl/python scripting or BioconductoR are preferred. For more information contact prof. Rob Jelier (r.jelier@gmail.com) or prof. Vera van Noort (vera.vannoort@gmail.com). In your application please include a CV describing coursework, grades and previous research experience as well as a minimum of two letters of recommendation.

Starting date: from 1st of October 2013
