Job Skills: Computational Biology
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). EMBL is seeking a highly motivated bioinformatics engineer to work in the group of Prof. Matthias Hentze. The research focuses on the discovery of novel RNA-binding proteins and identifying their role in health and disease. The group uses new next-generation sequencing and mass-spectrometry-based technologies to identify and functionally characterize RNA-binding protein targets. The successful applicant will be involved in the computational analysis and interpretation of these data. She/he will create workflows based on existing tools and further develop analysis methodologies in order to translate novel data types into biological discoveries. [More]
We are looking for a computational scientist to join the Proteomic Core Facility at EMBL Heidelberg. The Proteomic Core Facility provides scientific support for scientists at EMBL-Heidelberg and its outstations, in the areas of proteomics and structural biology. We offer services in the characterization of proteins and peptides by mass spectrometry, for which we have a range of mass spectrometers and nano-flow liquid chromatography systems. This results in generation of large scale datasets that need to be processed in a high-quality, reproducible, and timely manner. The successful candidate will establish and maintain an analysis pipeline for diverse proteomics workflows at the EMBL proteomics core facility. This will involve establishing file handling workflows, automatic generation and archiving of results, algorithmic implementation/development, and developing bioinformatics solutions for novel proteomics strategies.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated Software Developer to work in the Variation Team at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) located on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus near Cambridge in the UK. The successful applicant will work with a focused team of developers, biologists and user support personnel to provide a world leading reference genetic variation bioinformatics resource as part of the European Variation Archive (EVA) and European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) projects. The software development lifecycle of the team is managed through agile methods and will require the structured use of confluence, jira and git in a team programming environment. You will also engage in both internal and external (national and international) collaborations and will have the opportunity to gain expertise both in terms of technical software engineering and biological scientific data modelling. In addition, you will implement scalable databases, ETL pipelines, as well as libraries and APIs for the management, transfer and analysis of genetic data. The EBI is part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and is Europe's leading provider of information services to biological researchers in academia and industry. EMBL-EBI staff enjoy benefits including sports facilities, a free shuttle bus to Cambridge and other nearby town centres and an attractive working environment set in 55 acres of parkland. Our salary scales are very competitive. For further information please visit www.ebi.ac.uk [More]
