Job Skills: Animal Biology
The algorithms and data analysis department seeks a talented and motivated individual to provide advanced analytical and software support for product research and development efforts. The successful candidate in this position will work closely with the Data Analysis team to develop analysis methods for genotyping SNPs and other complex variants. Approaches will target genotyping species of non-human organisms, with genomic complexity such as inbreeding, polyploidy, paralogous sequence variation, and subpopulation diversity. [More]
The job sits within Mick Watson’s research group, which focuses on the development and use of computational methods to analyse large genomic, transcriptomic and metagenomics datasets, with a focus on farm animal health and production and host-pathogen interactions. We are recruiting someone with laboratory experience who is capable of running both wet- and dry/computational experiments. In particular we wish to set up the MinION, and assess the impact of long, single molecule reads on both transcriptomic and metagenomics data analyses. [More]
The Experimental Cancer Genetics group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute are seeking an experienced Biostatistician/Bioinformatician to contribute to the characterisation of mutational signatures and mutational landscapes from the genomes and epigenomes of lung tumours induced by carcinogen exposure.

The Flint Animal Cancer Center has received 3 years of funding from the Anschutz foundation to explore the molecular landscape of canine cancers. We propose to utilize this funding to genetically sequence four common canine cancers with significant similarity to their human counterparts with the goal of identifying conserved gene mutations that closely align to human cancers. We are advertising this postdoctoral research position to identify an individual with expertise in Bioinformatic analysis to aid in the conduct and analysis of next generation sequencing studies to identify these driving mutations and confirm their role in the pathogenesis of canine cancers.

The Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health (CTLGH), established jointly by the University of Edinburgh, Scotland’s Rural College and the International Livestock Research Institute, wishes to appoint a Director of the Centre who will be responsible for its overall strategy and portfolio of research programmes [More]
Thermo Fisher Scientific is a leader in promoting global health. As part of that mission, we are seeking a bioinformatics scientist to contribute to genotyping by sequencing (GBS) projects related to trait selection for plant and animal breeders. [More]
A post-doctoral position (two years potentially renewable one year) is immediately available at UMR1167, Institut Pasteur de Lille, France. We recently characterized BIN1 as the second genetic risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease after APOE (Lambert et al., Nat genet, 2013). We reported that BIN1 could be the first genetic determinant interacting with Tau pathology (Chapuis et al., Mol Psychiatry, 2013). The project will consist to determine what are the function and consequences of the BIN1-Tau interaction we recently fully described (Sottejeau et al., Act Neuropathol comm., 2015) at both physiological and pathophysiological levels.
