Available: Research position Biological Data Visualization and Visual Analytics

Keywords: biological data visualization; visual analytics; data integration; genomics; postdoc

Are you well-versed in the language of Tufte? Do you believe that visualization plays a key role in understanding data? Do you like to work in close collaboration with domain experts using short iterations? And do you want to use your visualization skills to help us understand what makes a cancer a cancer, and what distinguishes a healthy embryo from one that is not?

We're looking for a motivated data visualization specialist to help biological researchers understand variation within the human genome.

SymBioSys is a consortium of computational scientists and molecular biologists at the University of Leuven, Belgium focusing on how individual genomic variation leads to disease through cascading effects across biological networks (in specific types of constitutional disorders and cancers). We develop innovative computational strategies for next-generation sequencing and biological network analysis, with demonstrated impact on actual biological breakthroughs.
