We develop and apply computational methods for structure prediction based on sequence such as fold recognition, threading and homology based structural modelling. To study functional aspect of individual proteins our methods of choice are ligand docking, protein-protein docking, electrostatic calculations and molecular dynamics. Protein targets are often chosen in collaboration with experimentally working colleagues. A further major interest of the group is in comparative genomics, in particular in the development of methods for high-throughput data analysis and automated functional annotation of sequence datasets.

Examples for ongoing projects are:
- Improving protein-protein docking by implementing evolutionary and theoretically derived restraints
- Structure based inhibitor design for CDK-4
- Structure and function prediction for the ASP protein family
- dbESTmine and annot8r, bioinformatics resources for sequence annotation based on EST data

PhD projects are available in any of the mentioned research areas. Informal inquiries should be made by email to rs206[at]le.ac.uk

Topic: Evolvable Software Architectures

Keywords: Software architecture, software evolution, sydstem complexity, interface evolution, change-impact analysis, embedded systems

Industrial practice shows that it is extremely difficult to keep improving devices by adapting and extending the embedded software. Small changes often lead to unexpected consequences, due to unknown interactions and dependencies between parts of the system. Allegio aims at defining an integrating a set of methods and techniques to support a systematic “Right by Design” component-based software design approach for complex embedded systems. This ensures that incremental changes become predictable and meet the required system qualities such as performance and safety.

The contribution of SERG/TU-Delft is on investigating means to enable “Evolvable Software Architectures” for embedded systems in the healthcare domain. This research comprises (but is not limited to):

• Evolution of large, complex embedded systems
• Interface complexity and quality anlysis
• Change impact analysis and prediction
• Executable architectural models

The research will mainly be carried out at SERG/TU Delft in close collaboration with Philips Healthcare (iXR R&D) and the Embedded Systems Institute (ESI). The research will follow an industry-as-laboratory style: actual research problems are drawn from industry and solutions are evaluated in the industrial context, here Philips Healthcare.

These positions are full-time paid research positions, 4 years fixed term (with 1 year probationary period), according to the collective labor agreement of the Dutch universities (which can be downloaded from www.vsnu.nl). TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home, and the option of assembling a customized compensation and benefits package (the ‘IKA’). TU Delft is an equal opportunity employer.

Requirements for candidates

• Master’s degree in computer science or informatics
• Excellent knowledge in software engineering and programming
• Good communicator, strong social skills, team player
• Independent working style
• An excellent command of the English language is an absolute must
• Not afraid to learn

Knowledge in software architecture, software evolution, reverse engineering and software analysis is a plus.

When applying, make sure to include the following documents (pdf) in English:

• A motivational letter specifically referring to the open positions (maximum 3 pages)
• A detailed resume (with publications, if you have any)
• Copies of marks and degrees/certificates
• A list of 3 references that we can contact
• Your MSc thesis in English (or alternative if your MSc thesis is not in English, a 5-page summary of your MSc thesis in English).
