Available: PhD position, 3-4 years Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Start: September 2016 or earlier Our group studies the selective forces that act on freshwater fish, i.e. the effects of human activities in interaction with natural and sexual selection. Our current research focuses on salmonid fish (brown trout, grayling, whitefish) and combines different types fieldwork, labwork, and modeling. See http://bit.ly/1G0GWYe We are seeking candidates with an interest in population genetics, life history, evolutionary ecology, and population management. The candidate would start her/his thesis with experimental field and lab work on a whitefish population in a Swiss lake. [More]

The Raj Laboratory at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a computational postdoctoral fellow. The qualified candidate should be highly motivated, with experience in human genomics, computational biology,RNA biology, neuroscience, or a related field. He or she should have experience analyzing genomic and transcriptomic datasets derived from high-throughput sequencing technologies. Experience with RNA-Sequencing tools and methods are a big plus. A good understanding of genetics is required. Because the work involves multiple collaborators, a good balance between independence and team spirit is essential, and effective communication skills are necessary. Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. degree. This position is mentored by Dr. Raj working under the broader leadership of Drs. Alison Goate, Eric Schadt, and Eric Nestler. [More]

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy). We are seeking a Bioinformatician to join the Zeller team in the area of metagenomics and human multi-omics data analysis, integration and interpretation. You will develop new analytical methods, implement robust software and integrate tools into workflows and service portals. The position is embedded in the context of the German National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Network (de.NBI), of which the Heidelberg Human Bioinformatics (HD-HuB) node is committed to providing human-centered bioinformatics tools and services. Your experience acquired while working with these tools will be the basis for delivering insightful, high-quality data analyses, showcasing the potential of these tools in a range of different research projects. For this you will have the opportunity to work closely with other scientists from Georg Zeller's, Peer Bork's, Wolfgang Huber's, Jan Korbel's and / or Toby Gibson’s groups. Additionally, you will interact with, and ideally participate in, internal bioinformatics community initiatives at EMBL (e.g. the Bio-IT project) and explore synergies with external de.NBI / HD-HuB support.  [More]
