Are you interested in developing more informative computational models? Do you see the challenge in how to reconcile mechanism-based mathematical modelling and machine learning in the era of big, multi-omics data? Then you are the PhD candidate we are looking for! Current sequencing technologies provide unprecedented resolution into cellular processes at the scale of individual cells. Yet, the size and availability of this data pose novel theoretical and computational challenges. As a PhD candidate, you will contribute to the expansion of this knowledge, broadening our understanding of the molecular bases driving development and disease, working at the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS). You will have the opportunity to apply a wide range of computational techniques, learn state-of-the-art omics technologies, and develop novel computational approaches to integrate multi-omics big data with a specific focus on the topics of gene regulation, cell differentiation and cell-cell communication. As part of your PhD training, you will assist in teaching one or two courses per year, typically in the BSc and/or MSc programme in Biology, and supervise BSc and MSc students within the context of your project. Profile
We areAs a PhD candidate, you will work in an interactive and multidisciplinary environment in the Molecular Developmental Biology department at RIMLS, where Dr Federico Bocci will be your supervisor. In our lab, we integrate tools from various fields of science including physics, mathematics and bioinformatics. We employ a question-oriented approach whereby we try to study biological phenomena by selecting the best suited computational tool. Additionally, we collaborate with wet-lab biologists, both within and outside RIMLS, to apply and validate these computational methods in collaborative projects.
