Vacancy: Postdoc Bio-informatics
We are a microbiology and infectious diseases group in The Netherlands, investigating microbial flora in health and disease in relation to prevention of bacterial infections.
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow bioinformatics/-statistics who will help us to analyze complex metagenomic data in relation to epidemiological parameters. Besides the complex problem of interpreting phylogenetic data of microbiota, we find there are currently no generally accepted statistical methods available to analyze complex communities in relation to epidemiological determinants, especially not in multivariate ways.

PhD Student Position
DERI Institute
Galway, Ireland
Sensor Middleware Unit
The Sensor Middleware Unit
The advent of sensor technologies and the Semantic Web provide the unique opportunity to unify the real and the virtual worlds. It enables the building of very large infrastructures which for the first time facilitate the information- driven real-time integration of the physical world and computers on a global scale. Flexible middleware technology which abstracts from heterogeneous sensor network technologies to higher-level functionalities to enable interconnected sensor networks and processing of sensor data (Sensor Internet) is a cornerstone of enabling Semantic Reality. The sheer size and dynamic of this system poses quite novel and unique challenges, which we plan to investigate in the following years.
We are looking for a PhD student to work in the area of Sensor Data Management, in particular we want to address the challenges of building and maintaining a sensor data repository which is distributed, heterogenous, and constantly updated, and how to efficiently make the data accessible.
