Research software engineer supporting open-source bioinformatics software and services (0.6fte) at Department of BioInformatics-BiGCaT - FHML/NUTRIM

The Department of Bioinformatics (https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/research/bioinformatics ) has a dedicated, young, interdisciplinary team working closely with other scientists and institutions. Founded by Prof. dr. Chris Evelo in 2001, the research group is part of the NUTRIM School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism at the Faculty of Health, Medicine, and Life Sciences at Maastricht University.

The department is involved in (inter)national initiatives to analyse, collect, share and integrate biological data. It uses a range of new methods and tools. These include:

• high-throughput data analysis workflows
• bioinformatics and cheminformatics software
• structuring and collecting biological processes in WikiPathways
• pathway analysis in PathVisio
• network analysis in Cytoscape
• semantic web tools using RDF, ontologies, and SPARQL
• FAIR data solutions
• web services for all the above

NUTRIM School for Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism

NUTRIM School for Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism is part of the Faculty of Health Medicine and Life Sciences of the Maastricht University. NUTRIM catalyses translational research into metabolic and chronic inflammatory disorders (i.e. metabolic syndrome/diabetes, IBD/intestinal failure and COPD) that will contribute to innovative personalized lifestyle and medicine approaches with a focus on nutrition, toxicology and metabolism. Within NUTRIM, approximately 400 scientists including 245 PhD students, and an additional 70 support staff members work interdisciplinary together in 16 Biomedical, clinical, and behavioral-science departments. Through its research master and PhD programme NUTRIM aims to educate investigators of high scientific excellence and ambassadors to support and develop this research field.
