The Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), in collaboration with the Universiteit Gent (UG), is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in structural bioinformatics. The research project will investigate how sequence-based predictions of protein characteristics can be fully exploited on a large statistical scale to better understand their experimentally observed behavior, especially in relation to folding events, protein stability and post-translational modifications. It connects structural bioinformatics (Wim Vranken at the Structural Biology Brussels (SBB), VUB), machine learning (Tom Lenaerts at the Artificial Intelligence group (AI), VUB) and proteomics (Lennart Martens at the Computational Omics and Systems Biology Group, UG). The successful candidate will be mainly located at the (IB)2 Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels (http://ibsquare.be), an institute that brings together the science, engineering and medical faculties of VUB and the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in a collaborative and open atmosphere. The focus of the (IB)2 is on interdisciplinary research, with expertise in machine learning, big data, rare diseases, oligenic disorders, network analysis, genome analysis, metagenomics and structural bioinformatics. Research context: The interactions and function of proteins are determined by their dynamics and conformations. Proteins can adopt context-dependent and interchanging conformations, as illustrated by allosteric changes induced by binding events or by post-translational modifications. Local sequence-based interactions between amino acids have a large influence on these preferential conformations, even when long-range stabilizing interactions are present. In this project, we investigate the influence of such local interactions on the behavior of proteins, from folded to intrinsically disordered. These analyses are possible through novel and unique tools and databases developed by our groups, such as DynaMine (http://dynamine.ibsquare.be), Start2Fold (http://start2fold.eu) and PepShell (http://compomics.github.io/projects/pepshell.html). The successful candidate will gather further relevant experimental data from public databases and literature and connect these data to results from sequence- and structure-based predictions in order to construct innovative computational approaches that can guide new experimental work in protein folding, stability and post-translational modifications. Offer: A full time postdoctoral position for the duration of 3 years funded by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO), pending a review after the first 6 months. [More]
The Helmholtz Zentrum München in Munich, Germany, is member of one of the leading research associations in Europe - the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. The aim of our research is to proactively detect health risks involving humans and the environment, decoding the mechanisms of pathogenesis and developing concepts for prevention and therapy. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by altered cell composition and homeostasis leading to loss of function (Fernandez et al, Lancet 2012;380:680-88). To find anti-fibrotic strategies understanding cellular processes of disease development is crucial. Recently, we started this by identifying dynamics of biological processes and networks on the proteomic level (Schiller et al, Molecular Systems Biology 2015;11:819). Based on our recent works on the analysis of single cell transcriptomics to correct for latent confounders such as cell cycle (Buettner et al, Nature Biotechnology 2015;33:155-160) and to visualize developmental processes (Haghverdi et al, Bioinformatics 2015; 31:2989-2998), we want to model and analyze the transcriptional heterogeneity linked to disease pathomechanisms and disease classification by single-cell analysis. The Institute of Computational Biology (ICB) offers in cooperation with the Institute for Lung Biology and Disease (Comprehensive Pneumology Center, CPC) a position at the earliest possible date for a PostDoc in Single-cell Bioinformatics/ Computational Biology (2015/2935) Job Description: - single-cell-analysis - quantitative description and modeling of disease-related networks - modeling and analysis of heterogeneous gene expression Our Offer: - Working in an innovative, well-equipped and scientifically stimulating surrounding - Further training opportunities - Initial short-term employment contract for two years with a standard public service salary (TV EntgO Bund EG 13) [More]
