The application of new or second generation sequencing > technologies (e.g. Illumina HiSeq2000) are generating WG data on > organisms, such as pathogens, thereby revolutionising genomic > epidemiology and biomedical research. An understanding of the genomic > diversity of pathogens, such as malaria parasites and > hospital-acquired infections (e.g. Clostridium difficile virulent > stomach bug and MRSA 'superbug'), could ultimately lead to new > diagnostics, treatments and reduce disease burden. The WG sequencing > of many pathogen isolates (domestically or worldwide) will facilitate > the development of genomic variation maps that include point mutations > and larger structural genomic variants, which may be used to detect > new forms of drug resistance and barcode infections. One roadblock is > that the new technologies generate extremely high volumes of raw data > that can be difficult to manage and complex to analyse. Therefore to > take full advantage of the large datasets and their potential for > understanding outbreaks of infectious disease requires the development > of methods and software in bioinformatics and statistics -- the focus > of this studentship. In particular, we seek a candidate with an > interest in bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics or > statistics to develop new approaches for identifying genomic variants > associated with geography, drug resistance or other pathogen-specific > outcomes. It is expected that the methods developed will be > implemented in a high-level programming language, and the resulting > software shared with the research community and public health > policymakers. WG sequence data are immediately available from malaria > and tuberculosis studies. > > *Requirements* > This studentship would suit a candidate with a strong quantitative and > computing background, possibly with graduate qualifications in > biology, bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics/statistics or > some other relevant subject. This is a unique opportunity to train in > fields such as bioinformatics and genomic epidemiology, through > participation on courses and conferences, and interactions within the > colleges. The candidate will be exposed to the world-class research in > the genetic epidemiology of infectious disease conducted at the LSHTM. > Clinical, laboratory and statistical teams support this > epidemiological research, and there will be many opportunities for the > PhD candidate to develop or advance their skills in the > epidemiological field. Birkbeck Computer Science is a leading centre > of expertise in information and knowledge management, intelligent > systems and computational intelligence and their application to the > life sciences. Exposure to the research at Birkbeck College will lead > to advanced skills in the technologies of these fields. Upon > completion of the PhD it is anticipated that the candidate will have > good depth of skills across multiple disciplines, including genetics, > epidemiology, statistics, bioinformatics and computer science, making > them an attractive prospect for post-doctoral research funding. > > *Further details about the project may be obtained from:* > > Lead Supervisor: Dr Taane Clark, taane.clark@lshtm.ac.uk > <mailto:taane.clark@lshtm.ac.uk>, > http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/people/clark.taane > > Co-Supervisor: Dr Nigel Martin, nigel@dcs.bbk.ac.uk > <mailto:nigel@dcs.bbk.ac.uk>, http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~nigel > <http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/%7Enigel> > > *Further information about PhDs at London School of Hygiene and > Tropical Medicine is available from:* > > http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/prospectus/howto/applforstudy.html > <http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/prospectus/howto/applforstudy.html> > > *How to apply:* > > Applications must be in writing and must clearly state which > studentship you are applying for. > > *Applications should consist of:* > > 1.
