€ 3.345 - € 5.278 per maandTijdelijk
Wageningen University & Research
Are you a bioinformatician with an interest in spatial and single cell transcriptomics? Would you like to apply your knowledge to contribute to investigating gene expression and translational profiles in germinating seeds? Then we are looking for you. In this project you will work together with a postdoc who generates Spatial and Single-Cell RNA Sequencing data of seeds at different stages during seed germination. Your role will be to leverage these cutting-edge techniques to map gene expression profiles in Arabidopsis seeds, providing high-resolution insights into the regulatory networks that control seed germination properties. More specifically the project will involve the characterization of spatial gene expression profiles using tomo-seq; mapping single cell transcriptomics to reveal the cellular heterogeneity; perform translational profiling at the cellular level, making use of 5Pseq (degradome sequencing). For all this we will ask you to develop and implement novel bioinformatics methodologies, which will allow the integration of the mentioned data sets.
The position is shared between the Wageningen Seed Science Centre (WSSC) (), led by Prof Leónie Bentsink and Bioinformatics chair group under supervision of Dr Harm Nijveen. The WSSC is embedded at the Laboratory of Plant Physiology ().
