Rothamsted Research is seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics Analyst with experience working in the field of metagenomics or microbial genomics. The successful candidate will conduct research and collaborate with scientists using high throughput sequencing technologies on metagenomic and transcriptomic strategies, examining the microbial communities and processes that underlie sustainable soil systems, microbial community functional resilience and plant-microbe interactions. You will take a leading role in developing new strategies to analyse and interpret HTS metagenomic and transcriptomic datasets from soil, plant and environmental biomes, incorporating total community analysis (functional gene analysis, phylogenetic and network analysis), comparative genomics, de novo assembly of targeted community genes and selected microbial genomes.      [More]

  We are looking for a solid well experienced Bioinformatics Core Director About you: You have a background in biomedical/quantitative science and a strong interest in working with researchers in diverse areas of animal, plant, genomics and biomedical research. You thrive on scientific challenges, enjoy collaborating with an interdisciplinary team and excel at communicating and coordinating between programmers and wet-lab scientists. Learning and applying new methods is natural for you, and you are motivated to continuously expand your skills. You have superb data and project management skills. You enjoy working on different projects and deadlines, frequently in collaboration with other Cores and research groups. Your Role: You will provide leadership in the development of a highly integrated professional services team. The team will be following best practices for consulting that include understanding and fitting solutions to needs, estimating efforts and skills, contributing high value to proposals and creating high quality deliverables for study project reports and publications. You will employ best practice to develop strong standards for quality and reuse. Your team will support researchers in the Sheffield community with their data management, quality control, analysis of data and presentation of results. Projects are usually a mix of short-term support tasks and long-term collaborations; most support tasks and methods eventually become standardized workflows. You will need broad experience in several bioinformatics domains such as microarray analysis (expression, methylation), NGS sequencing (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, genome assembly, exome/WGS sequencing) or functional analysis and know how to implement your analyses in reproducible workflows. You will be expected to coordinate selected research or support projects and act as an independent point of contact for researchers. Leveraging the experience of the Core Academic Director, Professor Winston Hide;you will help establish the consultant services model and promote the activities of the Core to establish a community of best practice. The Core Director is expected to create deliverables in support of The University of Sheffield and Hospitals researchers You will direct and build the core - so you will be the driver and visionary!    [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]
