A two year postdoctoral position is available in the Van de Peer lab in the Department of Plant Systems Biology (VIB), Bioinformatics Institute Ghent N2N (BIG N2N), Ghent University, starting August 1st 2016.
Our research group is considered a center of excellence in gene prediction and genome annotation, and comparative and evolutionary genomics. We are currently looking for someone to strengthen our genome annotation and genome analysis team, in particular someone to work on the comparative analysis of mites, of which many are important pests for plants. Amongst other things, we want to unravel the genetic/genomic cause for specific adaptations linked to lifestyle and herbivory. You will also be involved in the study of gene and genome duplications, another major interest of the research group.
Working environment
The successful candidate will work in the Department of Plant Systems Biology (VIB) at Ghent University. VIB and BIG N2N offer a supportive and stimulating
environment, with access to excellent computer and academic facilities. The Van de Peer lab is a computational group and consists of a mix of molecular and evolutionary biologists and computer scientists.
