Please find below a vacancy for Researcher Bioinformatics for Metabolomics
Wageningen University & Research Centre, Plant Research International
Wageningen (The Netherlands), 36 hours per week
Reference number: PSG-BIOS-0002
Background:
Metabolomics is a functional genomics technology that enables
comprehensive characterization of the biochemical composition of a
biological sample. With the increasing sophistication and throughput
of current high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms, metabolomics
datasets are becoming ever larger and more complex. Software is needed
to enable the data to be processed and managed prior to their
statistical analysis and biological interpretation.A dedicated
workflow management system needs to be in place with which reusable
computational pipelines can be built and exchanged between
researchers. Furthermore, metabolite information scattered over
distributed databases needs to be organized and integrated in order to
accelerate metabolite annotation. We are addressing these needs
through development of a metabolomics data support platform via
internal and national / international collaborations.
Job description: A position for an enthusiastic researcher is
available within the Business Unit Bioscience at Plant Research
International (PRI) to participate in the development of our in-house
metabolomics support platform. This development is central to all
projects related to bioinformatics for metabolomics. It is therefore
essential that the candidate has the ability to take a proactive and
coordinating role in this area. Specific tasks will further include
implementation or, where necessary, development of databases and tools
for automated metabolite annotation, mass-spectral processing,
metabolic pathway visualization, and integration of these tools in a
metabolomics workflow management environment. In addition the
candidate will support biologists with data analysis in various
ongoing projects.
Profile: We are looking for a communicative team player with:
* A recent PhD from a project focusing on chemoinformatics,
chemometrics, bioinformatics or on metabolomics involving extensive
data management / mining approaches.
* Advanced programming and database development skills (fluent in
Java, SQL, and preferably in C++, Perl, or Python)
* Knowledge of workflow management and webservice technology.
Experience in GUI development and data visualization is a plus
* Knowledge of mass spectrometry and metabolomics technology is a
requirement. Experience in LCMS and/or GCMS-based metabolic profiling
and metabolomics data processing is a pre
* Ability to work both independently and in close collaboration
with bioinformaticians, analytical chemists and biologists in an
internationally oriented research group
* The drive, ambition and skills to acquire a leading role in the
development of a metabolomics data analysis platform within PRI and to
initiate new projects in this field
Remuneration: We offer a place in an enthusiastic, dynamic and
dedicated metabolomics team. Our metabolomics facilities and
computational infrastructure are state-of-the-art; You will be
situated in one of the world’s leading labs in plant metabolomics.
The position is available for one year, with a possible extension of
two years, full time.
Maximum gross salary will be € 4438,- (scale 11) per month, depending
on qualifications and experience.
