Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
Department of Microbiology, Uppsala
Post-Doctoral Position in Bioinformatics / Genome Analysis
We are seeking a post-doctoral scientist with a strong background in bioinformatics and/or genome analysis for work within an ongoing plant genome sequencing project. The project is focused on understanding the early evolution of plants, and in particular their adaptation to life on land. A draft genome sequence has been completed, and we are now moving into the analysis and interpretation phase of the project. Practical experience with post-assembly genome analysis is therefore particularly meritorious. Knowledge about plant
evolution and plant biology are additional merits.
Our department belongs to the SLU BioCenter, a recently created strong research environment for basic and applied research about plants and microorganisms. There are
therefore excellent opportunities for interactions with other research groups, including groups doing genome sequencing in plants and fungi. The BioCenter is located on the main
campus of SLU outside Uppsala, 70 km North of the Swedish capital Stockholm.
Duties: The successful candidate will work together with a small team of biologists and bioinformaticians. The duties will include: 1) Processing and analysis of next-generation
DNA and RNA sequencing data. 2) Transcript mapping and gene modeling based on transcript data. 3) Analysis of the data, including phylogenetic analysis and comparative
genomics. 4) Development and testing of scripts and pipelines needed for the work.
Qualifications: Applicants should have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computer science, or in a biology related field with a strong interest in bioinformatics or genome analysis.
Familiarity with at least one scripting language (perl and R preferred) and a good understanding of genomics tools and databases are required. Previous experience with post-assembly genome analysis is preferred. Knowledge about plant biology and plant evolution is a bonus. An ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment with good communication and teamwork skills is essential.
Form of employment: Full time employment for up to 2 years.
Starting date: September 1, 2011, or later as agreed on.
SLU is an equal opportunity employer.
