The analysis of microbial communities as done in the lab has applications in medical diagnosis, health, yield improvement in bio-reactors, the analysis of eco-systems, and many more. The Subject of project is “Development of automated model-based clustering tools for microbial cytometric data”.

Starting date: 01.04.2019

Duration of the project: 3 years

Tasks and responsibilities:

  • The development and implementation of efficient algorithms for automatic microbial cluster analysis.
  • Visualization of huge single cell data sets, and time series data.
  • Development of an integrative approach that combines information of ecosystems into microbial cytometric data.
  • The prediction of microbial community behavior over time using novel ecological models.

Requirements:

  • Applicant should hold a Master degree (or comparable) in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Applicant must have background in at least one of the following areas: algorithm development, statistics, bioinformatics, modelling and basic microbiology.
