Computational mass spectrometry
Biochemistry of Plant Specialized Metabolites
Abstract
Our lab combines experimental (mass spectrometry, metabolomics and RNA-seq) and computational (bioinformatics and machine learning) approaches for the discovery of novel bioactive molecules derived from plants. The aim of this project will be the development of new computational methods for processing and interpreting small molecule mass spectrometry data, in particular for automated mass spectra interpretation, molecule annotation, and generation and visualization of molecular networks. Candidates for this position should be able to independently program in Java and Python.
Field of study: Bioinformatics
Universities
PhD students must be enrolled in a partner university and will be employed by the IOCB Prague at the same time (part-time or full time), which results in a competitive salary (a scholarship from the university + a salary from the IOCB). Each university has its own process, terms, and deadlines for PhD applications, which is separate from the IOCB recruitment process. You may discuss the details with the respective PI.
How to apply
