    Job description

    We are looking for a Bioinformatics Research Assistant.

    The bioinformatics assistant will join a small team that supports EU framework 7 projects in which the development of new biobased production systems is a central theme. In these projects we focus on genome reconstruction, annotation, comparative genomics and transcriptome analysis. Of specific interest is the identification and characterization of micro-algal genes that underly the biosynthesis of large chain hydrocarbons and lipids which can be used for the production of biofuels and green chemicals.

    Requirements

    The position requires a researcher with expertise in and/or interest for applied bioinformatics, holding at least a Bachelor degree in Bioinformatics (HBO). We aim for an enthusiastic collaborator, who is strong in communication with wet-lab biologists and has a project-oriented attitude directed towards solutions.
    • Knowledge of and demonstrable experience in a UNIX environment
    • Good programming and databasing skills (SQL, Python or Perl) and some knowledge of applied statistics (R)
    • Appropriate knowledge of molecular biology and related ‘omics’ fields
    • Keen eye for new technological developments, both in silico and at the bench
    • Knowledge of (plant) genomics would be an asset

    Conditions of employment

    We offer a young, dynamic and driven bioinformatics group, focusing on computational challenges in a range of comparative and functional genomics related topics; a state-of-the art computational infrastructure; close collaboration with laboratory experts in metabolomics, proteomics and DNA sequencing.

    The position is available for two year, full time, with a possible extension. Maximum gross salary will be € 3220,00 (scale 8) per month, depending on qualifications and experience.

    Information: For more information about this position, please contact dr. ir. Sander Peters, senior scientist Applied Bioinformatics department of Bioscience, Plant Research International, +31-317-481123 , [email protected], or dr. Gabino Sanchez-Perez, Cluster leader Applied Bioinformatics, Plant Research International, +31-317-481742, [email protected].

    Don't email directly to the people mentioned above but use the website to apply.
    Contract type: Temporary, Tijdelijk dienstverband

    Organisation

    Wageningen UR (University & Research centre)

    The cluster Applied Bioinformatics (Bioscience, Plant Research International) participates in 2 EU frame-work 7 projects in which development of biotechnology for microalgal productions systems for the purpose of sustainable production of polymers and energy-rich molecules is a central theme. Its bioinformatics research activities contribute to unravelling and application of plant genomes for the improvement of target species such as Botrycoccus braunii and Phaeodactylum via breeding or biotechnology. Our research attention focuses on genome data (HTP sequencing, assembly and annotation, transcriptomics and functional genomics). Strong interaction with wet-lab researchers is key to the success of the activities.

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
