Are you an enthusiastic statistician or bioinformatician who is looking for a new project into statistical bioinformatics? Then contribute to the development and implementation of statistical models for gene-based networks as a postdoc. You will work in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, where you can put your ideas to the test and push your boundaries as a scientist.
Gene-based networks can be extracted from genomic or bioinformatics data bases or can be estimated using omics datasets such as proteomics and transcriptomics. The availability of information from various sources raises the question whether the information in these datasets is complementary or wholly or partly redundant and how to summarize it. To overcome these challenges, researchers on the project will introduce a statistical model for gene-based networks, design an estimation procedure, and investigate its properties.Profile
- You hold a PhD degree in statistics or bioinformatics with a strong statistical background, or you are on track to obtain one before the start of the project.
- You may have experience in omics research and network methods.
- You are an enthusiastic statistician or bioinformatician and are eager to contribute to the research project.
- You have experience in scientific programming in R or a similar language.
- You are able to work as part of a team as well as independently.
- You are able to collaborate on international, cross-disciplinary projects.
- You have a good proficiency in English.
We are
The Department of Mathematics at Radboud University (Nijmegen, Netherlands) is part of the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics, and Particle Physics in the Faculty of Science . The Department represents a broad range of research fields, including pure and applied analysis, mathematical physics, probabilities and statistics.
