Job Skills: Next Generation Sequencing
The project aims to characterise photosynthetic traits from diverse lines of wheat and combine this with quantitative genetics and next generation DNA sequencing to identify the genes associated with each trait. The role in Norwich will be to lead the genotype and genetic analysis component of the project. You will have a PhD in Biological Science with a focus on Computational Biology, Plant biology or Genetics, or related field. Experience in quantitative genetics and/or next generation sequence data analysis, excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work independently are essential. With an understanding Arabidopsis or wheat genetics desirable. [More]
Based at NIAB, Cambridge, UK, we are looking to recruit a talented post-doctoral geneticist for a BBSRC-funded project between institutes in the UK and India, supporting the development of a large wheat multi-parent population for genetic analyses of complex traits related to heat tolerance. The successful applicant must have a PhD in genetics, be highly motivated, and possess a relevant publication/scientific presentation history. The following attributes are also highly desirable: experience in (1) crop genetics, (2) multi-parent genetic mapping populations, (3) next-generation sequencing data analysis and bioinformatics, and (4) supervision of students/scientists.

The successful candidate will develop and apply strategies for the integrative analysis of pan-cancer and tumor type-specific genome data (e.g. from whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing, RNA sequencing), enabling the identification and prioritization of biologically relevant cancer mutations, which will be further characterized functionally. These analyses will give us insights into the function of unknown genetic variants, and will highlight new drug targets and repurposing opportunities. [More]

Senior Research Officer (Computational biophysics/bioinformatics of gene regulation) School of Biological Sciences A fixed-term senior researcher position in computational biophysics and bioinformatics of gene regulation is available in the group of Dr. Vladimir B. Teif in the University of Essex (https://www.essex.ac.uk/bs/staff/profile.aspx?ID=4511). See examples of our recent publications: Beshnova et al. (2014) PLoS Comput Biol 10, e1003698; Teif et al. (2014) Genome Research, 24, 1285-95; Teif et al. (2012) Nature Struct Mol Biol 19, 1185-92. The person working on this project will closely interact with other group members and collaborators in the University of Edinburgh and the German Cancer Research Center who are using experimental methods of mammalian cell manipulation, molecular biology techniques and next generation sequencing methods. The School of Biology offers a rich scientific environment, with several groups relevant to this project belonging to the Genomics initiative (http://genomics.essex.ac.uk) and the Essex Biomedical Sciences Institute http://www.essex.ac.uk/bs/research/centres_and_groups/ebsi/. This is a Wellcome Trust funded 1-year position with a tentative start for the post of 1 October 2016 (or as soon as possible thereafter), Informal inquiries should be directed to Dr. Vladimir Teif (vteif@essex.ac.uk) but all applications must be made online. In the recent Research Excellence Framework 77% of research at the University of Essex research is 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent' (REF 2014). In the 2013 Postgraduate Research Experience Survey, 84% of respondents said that they were satisfied with the quality of their research degree. At Essex we win awards for our pioneering student support schemes. We are the most recent winners of the prestigious Times Higher Education award for Outstanding Support for Students. Essex is a genuine global community. With more than 130 countries represented within our student body, and 40% of our students from overseas, we are one of the most internationally-diverse universities in the UK.

Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow to study viral evolution and broadly neutralizing antibody responses in HIV infection Salary Plan: NIH and institutional funding Lab: Allen Direct Supervisor: Todd Allen Employing Hospital and Department: Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard Minimum degree and field of knowledge: PhD, MD Years experience required: 0 – 2 years experience Summary: The Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard located in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA has an opening in the Allen laboratory (http://www.ragoninstitute.org/portfolio-item/allen-lab/) for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to study the role of HIV sequence evolution in the development of broadly neutralizing antibodies. This position requires a Ph.D. or an M.D. with a background in humoral immunity, evolutionary biology, and/or bioinformatics. Research will focus on elucidating the role that viral evolution and escape from humoral immune responses plays in the development and maturation of broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV. Efforts will include application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to address these questions and development of advanced comparative genomic tools for the analysis of large viral genomic NGS datasets. Goals are to understand the role of HIV sequence evolution in the development of broadly neutralizing antibodies and apply this knowledge to design the effective components of an HIV vaccine. State-of-the-art facilities are available within an exceptionally energetic research setting. Job Duties: Under the direction of the principal investigator the applicant independently carries out daily activities of the laboratory. Performs molecular biology and cell-based assays utilizing standard techniques (DNA/RNA extraction and analysis, standard and quantitative PCR, site-directed mutagenesis, neutralization assays, ELISAs) Next-generation Illumina library construction and sequencing Bioinformatic analysis of conventional bulk and next-generation sequence data Develop advanced comparative genomic tools for the analysis of large viral genomic NGS datasets Detailed documentation of the experimental work [More]
