PhD position (4 years) in Functional Bioinformatics of Ageing (Oerebro, Sweden)

Oerebro University encourages applications of highly motivated candidates for a PhD position in Bioinformatics of Ageing, fully financed for four years

(https://www.oru.se/jobba-hos-oss/lediga-jobb/jobbannons/?jid=20170285).

 

Within the part "The biology of ageing"

(https://www.oru.se/english/about-us/our-focus-areas/successful-ageing/newbreed-main/the-biology-of-ageing/),

 

the group of Functional Bioinformatics at "Orebro University

(https://www.oru.se/english/research/research-teams/rt/?rdb=g206)

cooperates with the Institute for Biostatistics and Informatics in

Medicine and Ageing Research at Rostock University

(https://ibima.med.uni-rostock.de/, contact: Prof. Georg Fuellen).

 

The PhD project will be devoted to further developing a curated network

of ageing-related molecular pathways (see also the associated

EU-project: http://www.h2020awe.eu/)

and to apply this specific perspective for network-informed biosignature search in a number of (multi-)Omics datasets available at the major research environments of biomedical and sport research at "Orebro University:

 

Nutrition-Gut-Brain Interactions Centre (NGBI:

https://www.oru.se/english/research/research-environments/mh/nutrition-gut-brain-interactions-research-centre-ngbi/),

 

Inflammatory Response and Infection Susceptibility Centre (iRiSC:

https://www.oru.se/english/research/research-environments/mh/inflammatory-response-and-infection-susceptibility-centre-irisc/),

 

Cardiovascular Research Centre (CVRC:

https://www.oru.se/english/research/research-environments/mh/cardiovascular-research-centre-cvrc/),

 

Research in Sport and Physical Activity (RISPA:

https://www.oru.se/english/research/research-environments/mh/research-in-sport-and-physical-activity-rispa/).

 

Eligible candidates have a Bioinformatics master, or related education

with a strong programming, biostatistics, and data modelling focus, as

well as experience with data analysis in datasets of high-throughput molecular or biomedical data.
