Description
We are looking for two talented researchers to join our research centre to create a new Research Group in the fields of Bioinformatics/Informatics, Computational Biology and NGS data analysis. Work will involve next-generation sequencing data analysis, meta-genomics, population genetics, phylogenetics and phylogeography. Successful candidates will be deeply involved in the analysis of whole genomes, both through re-sequencing of multiple individuals of species for which there is a reference genome (e.g. humans, rabbits, dogs), and the assembly of de-novo genomes (e.g. anthelopes, lizards). They are expected to deploy and maintain analytic and data management pipelines, set up standard pipelines for quality control, assembly, and assembly validation as well as to generate custom bioinformatics solutions.

A strong knowledge in scripting and automation of procedures in a Linux environment is a must for a successful applicant. A good publication record in SCI journals and a record of funded research will be extra beneficial. As the candidate will be invited to participate in teaching at the MSc and PhD levels, a history of lecturing will be considered valuable. Preference will be given to candidates with a demonstrated record of developing software and other computational approaches to study biological questions in the areas of comparative genomics and transcriptomics, evolutionary genomics, phylogenomics, genetics/population genetics, and systems biology and with experience in leadership roles. Good communication and writing skills are essential, and complete fluency in English is an absolute requirement. Salary corresponds approximately to a gross annual income of 45000 euros (before taxes). Applications to any of these positions will include a detailed CV, a research statement and a motivation letter, as well as the email contact of three referees. Applications will be open until the positions are filled. Incoming applications will be reviewed immediately and there is no obligatiBenefits
