VIB group: Department of Medical Protein Research,UGent
Job description:
The Functional Proteomics unit of our department developsand applies peptide-centric or gel-free techniques for detailed analyses of avariety of proteomes. These analyses yield an enormous amount of massspectrometry derived data needing interrogation, intelligent storage anddissemination. Ongoing bioinformatics efforts are focused on the qualityassessment of suggested peptide and protein identifications, the streamliningof data flow and the public dissemination of proteomics data (more info can befound at http://www.proteomi cs.be/-> bioinformatics link).
We aim at expanding our bioinformatics capacity in order to
increase our competence in data mining and in linking proteomics data with
biologically and medically relevant questions. For this purpose we seek a
person who is successful in bridging biology and mass spectrometry. She/he will
not only operate in association with the mass spectrometry driven proteomics
lab, but will also take up challenges to independently employ and develop
bioinformatics tools for describing and predicting at the protein structural
level the different features (processing, modifications, interactions)
discovered during our proteome-wide analyses when analyzing cell death and
oxidative stress.
Profile:
-
Junior postdoctoral researcher
-
Experience with bioinformatics and programming inproteome research
-
Experience with structural protein modeling isan asset
-
Experience with biostatistics is an asset
-
Excellent writing, reporting and communicativeskills
-
Good publication track record
-
Willing to supervise PhD students
-
Willing to apply for research grants
We offer a two year contract renewable for two more years.
The selected candidate will have full access to all data derived from the
proteomics lab and will be able to independently perform her/his research
activities.
