There are a couple of opportunities to join the CBIO lab in 2022.

## Applied multi-omics integration

The [HYGIEIA project](https://www.saintluc.be/fr/hygieia) is a large
collaboration on the biomedical campus in Brussels. The PIs on the
project are Prof [<NAME>](https://uclouvain.be/en/directories/laure.elens) from the
[Louvain Drug Research Institute
(LDRI)](https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/ldri), Prof
[<NAME>](https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/irec/fath/jean-luc-balligand.html)
from the [Institute of Clinical and Experimental Research
(IREC)](https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/irec), myself from
the [de Duve
Institute](https://www.deduveinstitute.be/computational-biology), Prof
<NAME> and Prof <NAME>, both clinicians at the
infectious disease department at the [university
hospital](https://www.saintluc.be/fr/medecine-interne) and Prof
[<NAME>](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodogne/) from the
[Louvain Engineering School
(EPL)](https://uclouvain.be/en/faculties/epl). The goal is to
implement a complete multi-omics [network systems
medicine](https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsbm.1489)
facilty, from patient samples, sample tracking, data production,
analysis and interpretation. The data production is handled by our
local core facilities and include proteomics, metabolomics and
genomics. This applied project is both technically challenging and
exciting and provides a unique opportunity to build such a facility
from grounds up. There are two positions bound to my research group
here:

- A computer scientist position that will, in collaboration with
  <NAME> and the wet lab team, model and build the IT
  infrastructure to track patients, samples and data.

- A bioinformatics scientist to implement the multi-omics data
  processing and integration pipelines.

Both of these positions are initially funded for 1 year, renewable
once, thanks to the 2.7M euros seed fund of the Sofina solidarity
fund. We are anticipating additional funding to extend these
positions.

## Spatial proteomics and post-translational modifications

- As part of the Protein Contours project, I am also looking for an
  early career researcher focusing on spatial proteomics,
  post-translational modification and machine learning (see the
  [pRoloc](https://bioconductor.org/packages/pRoloc) package and
  [these](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24413670/)
  [papers](https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006516)
  for some background). The Protein Contours project is funded by the
  [FWO](https://www.fwo.be/en/) and is in collaboration with [<NAME>](https://we.vub.ac.be/en/wim-vranken) from the VUB and
  [<NAME>](https://www.compomics.com/people/lennart-martens/)
  from Gent University. The funding is for 1 to 2 years. Depending on
  the candidate's goals and background, there exist opportunities to
  extend the funding beyond.
