We are seeking an outstanding bioinformatics Postdoctoral Scientist to join our interdisciplinary team of system biologists. Bioinformatics research projects at the University of Louisville currently underway fall into the broad categories of developing algortihmic methodologies for high throughput sequence data; microarray and miRNA analysis; and computational and statistical approaches to understanding RNA regulatory networks. The successful candidate will be expected to integrate into a larger workgroup of bioinformatics researchers and potentially collaborate across departments, schools, and universities affiliated with the statewide Kentucky Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (KBRIN). The University of Louisville is seeking to build upon an area of expertise by building a team of interdisciplinary researchers for a Systems Biology and Bioinformatics research core. The core will be supported by and have a presence in KBRIN. Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the position are filled. [More]

The Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (MPIPZ) in Cologne, Germany, invites applications for a PhD position in the field of bioinformatics, genome assembly and plant genomics. The position is available in the Genome Plasticity and Computational Genetics headed by Dr Korbinian Schneeberger. Background / Objectives The focus of our group involves the development of methods for the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data (including Illumina, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore data), as well as the application of these methods in plant genetics/genomics. We develop new and creative methods to analyze genomes including reconstruction of the genome sequence (genome assembly) and analysis of differences to other genomes (genome comparison) covering all topics of sequence bioinformatics. We apply these methods to understand the dynamics of genomes and how they change over time - in short term over a few generations as well as over long evolutionary scales - as well as how these genomic differences encode for differences in the phenotypes. The initial project of the selected candidate will include the analysis and comparison of plants from an inter-species cross between two related plants. We will analyze how the chromosomes of such hybrid plants (each cell carries the genomes of two species) rearrange and mutate over the initial generation after crossing. It is known that the combination of chromosome sets of different species leads to drastic rearrangements. However, it is not clear how and what speed these mutations are introduced happens. The candidate will be involved in design of the sequence experiment, computational data analyses (including development of methods and approaches) of the genomes and interpretation of the results as well as in defining follow-up experiments. Payment / Position The position is available immediately. Selected candidates will be invited for interview. Salary and working hours are in accordance with the funding guidelines of the Max Planck Society for junior scientists. Working hours are fulltime; salary is 50 % of E13 TVöD-Bund. The Max-Planck society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. [More]
The Regulatory Genomics Laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Muenster, Germany is offering a ZENCODE-ITN PhD Position in Epigenetics and Computational Biology (position code 15-2016) The Laboratory, headed by Juan M Vaquerizas, seeks to appoint a highly motivated scientist to work on computational analyses of genome organisation and evolution as part of the ZENCODE-ITN (www.birmingham.ac.uk/zencode-itn). The scientific focus of the ZENCODE ITN consortium is to understand genome regulation through combined experimental and computational approaches in a model vertebrate. In particular, the successful candidate will analyse genome-wide gene expression and chromatin binding datasets at early stages of zebrafish embryonic development to investigate how developmental gene expression programmes are deployed. The project will focus on the analysis of mobile elements and their impact in the regulation of early embryonic development, and will be performed in close collaboration with Ferenc Mueller and Boris Lenhard’s laboratories. Terms of employment Applicants of any nationality must, at the time of recruitment (1 October 2016) be in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers after their first degree, which would entitle them to embark on a doctorate. Due to mobility requirement, only individuals who have not been resident in the host country (Germany) for more than 12 months in the last 3 years may apply. The position will be funded according to the regulations of the “Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions”, a EU-framework program for research and innovation. How to apply Applications should be sent as a single PDF file by email via the [More]
A Postdoctoral Scientist position is open within The Bryce Lab at Northwestern University in beautiful downtown Chicago. The laboratory works on immunology and inflammation mechanisms from the position of allergic diseases. Ongoing work involves significant crossover with clinical studies and so the position offers opportunities for training in translational immunology, as well as discovery immunology. The Bryce Lab employs a broad range of approaches to our science, including bioinformatics and systems biology, animal modeling of human diseases, bioengineering and translational immunology. We have a specific interest in understanding mast cell biology. Ongoing projects include studies focused on stem cell regulation, the micro biome, food allergy, and aspects of lung inflammation. The successful applicant will be expected to develop and lead a research project that compliments our portfolio. Candidates who might offer new directions, particularly infection or cancer biology, are encouraged to apply. [More]
