Phd in Computational Biology
il y a 1 mois
We are currently looking for a talented PhD student in the context of the FWO-SBO funded project ‘MATCHMAKING: Unveiling Optimal Soybean-Rhizobia Matches in Northwestern European Environments’ (4-year position). This PhD position is a shared position between the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology and ILVO.
The institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Research (ILVO) is a multidisciplinary research institute of the Flemish government with focus on research and innovation in sustainable agriculture, horticulture, fisheries and food business. Positive, proactive, professional, working together and being an example are the 5 values that guide ILVO employees in the way they approach their work. At the Plant sciences unit we perform research in the field of genetics and breeding, agronomy of (new) crops, circularity and the efficient use of resources. We also try to understand the processes in the soil. These are key ways to optimize the eco
- and environmental system around the plant and thus reduce the environmental impact of agriculture. Sustainable cultivation systems and techniques that promote agrobiodiversity are tested and promoted. Well-equipped research greenhouses, laboratory and trial field infrastructure with extensive machinery, a unique composting site and several rain-out shelters for drought research are key assets.
**Project description**:
Soybean is not only a major source of protein for food and feed worldwide but also, by interaction with nitrogen (N)-fixing rhizobia in the root nodules, a sustainable alternative for N fertilizers. The growing global demand for plant-based protein, coupled with the need to reduce reliance on imports from deforestation-prone areas, drives expansion of soybean cultivation into higher latitudes. Indeed, to meet European demands for sustainable soybean products, production must extend to north-western regions of the continent. However, existing soybean varieties and commercial rhizobia inoculants are not adapted to these environmental conditions, resulting in insufficient nodulation and consequently inconsistent high-protein bean yields.
Our goal is to identify soybean-rhizobia matches that are suitable for Northwestern Europe, building on a set of endemic rhizobia identified in a previous project. We will achieve this through in-field screening and detailed assessment of the performance of a large set of soybean-rhizobia combinations under adverse environmental conditions. Our research will uncover the genomic regions governing efficient nodulation through GWAS analysis in soybeans and explore the potential of native plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as helper strains. Additionally, we will conduct comprehensive analyses of efficient interactions using (meta)transcriptomics in nodules. Our project will pave the way for sustainable high-protein soybean production in Northwestern Europe, with the potential to benefit high-latitude regions worldwide.
You will be involved in the setup and execution of the field trials and the analysis of the resulting data (e.g. GWAS, linear mixed models), and in the construction of machine learning models on single-plant omics data to unravel how plant, rhizobial and PGPR gene expression in soybean nodules influence the performance of the top soybean-rhizobia combination in the field.
**Profile**:
- You have a MSc degree in Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Computational Biology or Bioinformatics.
- You have a solid background in plant biology, statistical data analysis, machine learning, R and Python programming
- Experience with plant field trials is a plus
- You are fluent in English (spoken and written).
- You can work in a team as well as independently.
- You are meticulous, well-organized, responsible and self-critical.
- You take pride in delivering high-quality work.
- You have a passion for science and you can think outside the box.
**We offer**:
- An exciting work environment in both a top basic research institute (VIB) and a top applied research institute (ILVO).
- The opportunity to be part of a dynamic, interdisciplinary and international team.
- A challenging project with high societal value.
- Ample opportunity to learn new skills.
- An attractive salary.
