The Computational Biology group, led by ICREA professor Alfonso Valencia, is looking for a Master's student to work on a protein coevolution project, and more specifically, on the identification of species-specific protein interactions in bacteria using phylogenetics and coevolution. The project will involve the analysis and interpretation of differences in diverse bacteria protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks., to detect functional differences in specific metabolic pathways for an ultimately better understanding of different species of bacteria and their role in the ecosystem.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group within the Life Sciences department, which integrates independent senior scientists that work on various aspects of computational biology, ranging from bioinformatics for genomics and proteomics to computational biochemistry and text mining. The Researcher will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, have access to systems and computational infrastructures, and establish collaborations with experts in different areas.
Key Duties
- Test and develop protocols to fine-tune and apply pLMs for studying relevant biological problems involving proteins.
- Perform sequence and structural-based analyses of proteins.
- Collaborate in the preparation and presentation of research projects.
- Participate in internal group meetings and other scientific discussions.
