Informasi singkat Foothill and De Anza College:
Foothill and De Anza are two community colleges offering the first two years of a university Bachelor’s degree on two campuses located in the heart of Silicon Valley. We are one system with two locations that are five minutes apart. De Anza has a total enrollment of 24,000, and Foothill has 18,000 students. Together, we enroll 2,500 international students from almost 100 countries and are very popular with students coming from Indonesia. Both of our colleges rank among the top community colleges in the U.S., and we are charter members of the prestigious League for Innovation in Community Colleges. Students study with us for two years, and then transfer into their third year at the university to complete their Bachelor’s degree. Currently, 47% of all students in the United States who begin higher education do so at a community college.

There are four primary reasons so many do this. First, it costs a lot less.. The annual tuition is around $5,500US per year. Second, admission is a lot more flexible. We’re looking for students with at least a 61 (Next Generation) or 173 (computer-based) or 500 (paper-based) TOEFL and average or better results from secondary school. For Indonesians educated in the British system, we will accept “O” level students. Third, the class sizes are small, and are all taught by regular professors, not teaching assistants like in universities. There is considerably more individualized attention both within the classroom and through the extra support that we offer just for international students. And fourth, and most important, it’s easier to get into the third year of a highly selective university than it is to get into the first year, especially if a student is transferring with good grades from a highly regarded community college like Foothill or De Anza. We are #1 in transfer to the University of California and California State University systems and will be sending 70 international students this fall to Berkeley. That’s far more than any other community college! In addition, last year we sent almost 40 to UCLA, almost 20 to USC, and others to Stanford, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown and Northwestern! So, Foothill or De Anza end up being a great way to complete the first two undergraduate years at less expense, and transfer to earn a Bachelor’s degree from competitive American university!

PhD Systems Biology on Flowering Network

Wageningen Universiteit & Research Centre, Plant Research International, Bioinformatics
Wageningen (The Netherlands), 38 hours per week
Reference number: 09.Biosc.08.

Background: Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR) is an internationally renowned knowledge institute in the fields of life sciences and sustainability. It makes an essential contribution to the quality of life through pioneering research and education. One of its research focal points is Systems Biology, and the Bioinformatics group has a strategic position within several of these systems biology approaches, with extensive collaborations both with experimental biology and mathematical groups within Wageningen UR.
Recently, we obtained funding for an EU-funded Marie Curie PhD project, which applies systems biology to plant reproductive development. This project is highly complem entary to ongoing projects in our group, which include bioinformatics analyses of protein-protein interactions of key players in this biological process, analysis of protein-DNA interactions, and application of modelling techniques to related systems such as floral organ development and the flowering transition.

Job description: A position for a PhD is available in the Bioinformatics group at Plant Research International (WUR) to work on the Marie Curie project “SYSFLO” (Training in Systems Biology Applied to Flowering). This project involves collaboration with various European partners (9 PhDs in total, both experimental and computational), linking the capture of large-scale datasets to advanced computational analysis and modelling. The aim of the project is to apply systems biology to reproductive development in Arabidopsis. Laboratory-based groups will generate datasets covering e.g. spatial and temporal gene expression, network relations and chromatin accessibility. Together with other computational groups, the PhD will apply statistics, data mining and modelling in order to generate a network model. This will specifically involve 1) prediction and analysis of network interactions; and 2) computational modelling of network dynamics. Both tasks will be tightly linked to experimental data collection and will suggest validation experiments for the laboratory teams.

Profile: We are looking for a communicative team player with:
* A background (MsC) in computational biology, bioinformatics or related area (either biologically oriented with knowledge of mathematics or mathematics oriented with interest in biology) * Some knowledge of programming (e.g. Perl, Python or R) * The drive and skills to collaborate with both experimental and computational biologists to obtain a systems-level understanding of plant reproductive development * Good written and spoken command of English
According to Marie Curie ITN rules, this position is open to all nationalities except Dutch nationals (for detailed eligibility criteria for recruitment see: ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/fp7-mga-annex3intramulti_en.pdf ).

Remuneration: a young, dynamic and driven bioinformatics group, focusing on computational challenges in a range of genomics and systems biology related topics; a state-of-the art computational infrastructure; close collaboration with laboratory biologists who have expert knowledge of the biological system, and with computational and mathematical experts, embedded in an international project. The position is available for 4 years, full time; this period should be finished with a PhD examination. After 12 months, the performance of the candidate will be evaluated to decide whether there is sufficient progress to expect a successful completion of the PhD thesis within the remaining period.
Preferred starting date: 1 October 2009.
Estimated maximum salary per month: EUR 2000 in the first year rising to EUR 2558 in the fourth year
