Applications:Please contact Bernard Henrissat or Pedro Coutinho at cazy@afmb.univ-mrs.fr with a detailed curriculum vitae with list of publications and communications. Send also via email a cover letter stating your research accomplishments, interests and specific skills and competence for the particular postdoctoral position, a summary of work previously done, mentioning the date of PhD defense and at least two references. 2- Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Bioinformatics of Next-Generation Sequencing at The Johns Hopkins University This position offers an exciting opportunity to join a newly established multidisciplinary research team inside a thriving and successful Comprehensive Cancer Center. The main task will be the analysis of data produced using multiple experimental protocols on an Applied Biosystems SOLiD sequencing instrument. The successful candidate will have a PhD in molecular biology, computer science, bioinformatics, or a related field, and ideally will be familiar with and have expertise in the management and analysis of large-scale genomics datasets. Basic skills with the UNIX/Linux operating system are essential and a strong background in at least one scripting or programming language (e.g. C++, R, Perl or Python) will be considered an advantage. The instruments are part of a core resource serving the cancer center and the entire university; projects are expected to be innovative and challenging and will come from many different areas. The successful candidate will join the bioinformatics and biostatistics team within the group, whose members include many at the forefront of high-throughput analysis research.
3-A research associate is required to work in the group of Dr Geoff Faulkner to analyse and organize data derived from massively parallel transcriptome and epigenome sequencing projects. The ideal candidate will either have completed an undergraduate degree in bioinformatics or will have a track record of excellence in the computational analysis of biological data. Skills in software development, database administration or bioinformatics associated with massively parallel sequencing would be advantageous. The successful applicant will be expected to communicate complex information clearly, both orally and in writing, and will be given the opportunity to complete high quality original research. The initial contract will be for 12 months, with extension subject to annual review. 1- The laboratory of Francois Nedelec is seeking to recruit a PhD student to expand its efforts to model the internal skeleton of living cells. The laboratory combines experimental and theoretical approaches to study important processes associated with the cytoskeleton. In dividing cells, we study how the mitotic spindle segregates chromosomes. In non-dividing cells, we study the mechanims by which the shape of cells is determined. The laboratory has expertise in micro-fabrication, light microscopy, mathematical modeling and numerical simulations. The new PhD student will join the development team of cytosim, a versatile simulation of the cytoskeleton ( www.cytosim.org). She/He will use simulations to initiate a new project, in collaboration with experimentalists. Applicants with prior training in Physics, Mathematics, I.T. or engineering, and a willingness to explore the opportunities offered in Biology are encouraged to apply. EMBL is a leading international research laboratory located in the university town of Heidelberg, Germany. The working language is English. Applications should be sent online, before July 15, 2009.
