                        <description><![CDATA[All high-throughput approaches require the management and organization of the data produced and the integration of the manifold existing resources for the identication of variations with respect to environment or genetics. The project will include the development of an integrated database with metabolomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data associated to information related to the many gene and gene families involved. 
The objectives are 
<ul><li>development of an efficient data management system, </li><li>integration of proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics data derived from different experimental efforts, </li><li>modelling of the regulatory network implied in the HSR, and </li><li>comparative analysis among heat sensitive and tolerant genotypes to provide support for the functional analysis of major gene families included in the response. </li></ul>
The project requires data management, data mining and advanced bioinformatics.

                        <description><![CDATA[The Bioinformatics Lab at the University of Leuven is searching for an exceptional postdoctoral fellow who will work under the supervision of Prof. Yves Moreau to develop a novel platform for candidate gene prioritization by genomic data fusion. The lab has developed Endeavour for the prioritization of candidate diseases genes using heterogeneous genomic data (Aerts et al., 2006). This platform is now broadly established within the human genetics community as an effective tool to support disease gene discovery (Thienpont et al., 2010).&nbsp;They have also extended their original methodology using network analysis (Lage et al., 2007) and kernel methods (De Bie et al., 2007; Yu et al., 2010). The goal of the postdoctoral fellow will be to develop a platform for gene prioritization that implements such strategies and is broadly usable by wet-bench biologists (web interface) and bioinformaticians (API or web service).]]></description>

The project is financially supported by the European Commission through its FP7 [KBBE.2011.3.6-01] programme.
The BioPreDyn project aims at improving accessibility of the data, and developing novel algorithms and tools implemented in such a general framework, which will enable the efficient transfer of cutting-edge modelling and optimisation methods from an academic research setting to private biotechnology partners. Representative biological and biotechnological applications are used as benchmark problems to develop robust and generally applicable methodology. The subproject at CWI focusses at Workpackage 3, the model-building cycle - modelling, system dentification, validation, experimental design, and uncertainty quantification -; the specific research subjects will be decided in consultation with the candidate and the other participants in WP3. The project will be performed in close collaboration with the other - mathematical and biological - partners.

                        <description><![CDATA[The Department of Mathematics at VU University Amsterdam is inviting applications for a PhD position in applied mathematics funded by the NDNS+ cluster of the National Research Foundation NWO. Glycolysis is the major energy-producing metabolic pathway in living cells. Yeast is possibly the best-known organism in the world, and our knowledge of the details of metabolism and its genetic architecture is second to none. As a result, yeast glycolysis has been one of the benchmarks for biological oscillatory behaviour, metabolic regulation, and the interplay between the two. This PhD position focuses on two aspects of yeast glycolysis which both tie in with regulation, synchronized oscillations among populations of yeast cells, and metabolic explosions inside single cells.<br /><br />This research will be carried out in collaboration with the systems biology group headed by Bas Teusink at the VU University Amsterdam. This group has been working both experimentally and theoretically on yeast glycolysis for several decades, and is one of the leading groups of its kind in the world. One of the most exciting prospects is that, through collaboration with Teusink's group, there are unique opportunities to design experiments to critically test their hypotheses. In particular, Teusink's lab is one of the very few labs in the world in which ATP and NADH concentrations can be measured inside single cells in yeast populations. This creates the possibility to understand how individual cell dynamics captured in a single glycolysis model couple with dynamics of neighbouring cells.]]></description>

It comprises nine leading researchers from the private sector, universities and research centres and two associated partners from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Portugal and UK cf. <link http://www.walltrac-itn.eu>www.walltrac-itn.eu</link>. 
WallTraC is devoted to plant cell walls which are the earth's most abundant source of terrestrial biomass. WallTraC has two major interlinked strategic objectives: First, to develop new molecular tools and techniques for the analysis of plant cell walls and their component polymers with direct applicability to industrial end-users in the functional food ingredients and plant fibre sectors and second, to provide high quality, intersectorial and trans-disciplinary training in plant cell wall analysis and complementary skills with the aim of enabling young scientists to respond to future demands in both academic and private sectors. 
The WallTraC bioinformatics PhD project at the University of Potsdam will be devoted to the integrative analysis of plant cell walls related complex and heterogeneous data generated by modern analytical techniques but also to the analysis of biological sequence data. 
The bioinformatics group of the University of Potsdam was established in 2005. The group consists of several Post-docs and PhD students. It strongly co-operates with the bioinformatics infra structure group at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam-Golm. The group receives a lot of third party funding and belongs to the initiators of the GoFORSYS &quot;Systems Biology project on Photosynthesis and Growth” one of the four centers for systems biology financed by the German Ministry of Research and Education.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[The Machine Learning group at Radboud University Nijmegen is looking for two PhD students. Both PhD students will be working on the development and application of machine learning algorithms for improved analysis of data related to neurological disorders.
First, a PhD position is available within the NWO project MacBrain. The goal of MacBrain is to mine data from the Netherlands Brain Bank (NBB) describing clinical and pathological information collected from thousands of donors who are either healthy or affected by neuro-degenerative diseases (including Alzheimer's). Your task will be to develop machine learning methods for discovering computational disease profiles characterized by few features, which may be used by domain experts to perform targeted studies aimed at improving the prognosis, diagnosis and treatment of neuro-degenerative diseases.
Second, a PhD position is available within the EU FP7 project TACTICS.<br />The goal of TACTICS is to better understand the neural, genetic and molecular bases of compulsivity disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Your task will be to design machine learning methods that can integrate the different sources of data gathered by the various partners within the consortium.&nbsp;]]></description>
