Subject: [Sbforum-general] BioInformatics - Student Placement
To: SBForum <sbforum-general at sbforum.org>


Project spec:

This placement is part of the Environmental Placement Programme –
further details can be found online at www.thebep.org.uk/epp

The project is to be funded by the Genecom Orphans project and is a
collaboration between the Bioinformaticians at Moredun Research
Institute and FIOS Genomics, a spin out company from Edinburgh
University

The idea of the project is to use the genomic sequences of bacterial
DNA and to use the SNP and other bioinformatics techniques to analyse
the difference between individual genomes thus building a phylogenetic
‘tree’ of the bacterium species. This will enable ready diagnosis of
the different strains of the bacteria which is of commercial use to
FIOS.

The student will be jointly based at MRI and FIOS.

The company are ideally looking for a Bioinformatics MSc student
(possibly as part of a project dissertation. They would also consider
a particularly strong undergraduate. Candidates will have experience
of Bioinformatics techniques and programming experience in PERL is
essential and experience of JACA desirable.

If anyone wants to apply, they can do so by sending their CV and a
cover letter to Louise Evison at louise.evison at met.org.uk
