BACKGROUND

We seek a highly motivated individual with excellent English written and oral communication skills and a doctoral degree in life sciences or statistics. Our lab employs cutting-edge microarray technologies to study the transcriptional regulatory network governing meiotic progression in yeast and mammals.

REQUIREMENTS

The candidate should be comfortable in Linux and Windows environments and should be experienced in high-density oligonucleotide microarray data analysis. Extensive programming skills in R and good knowledge of relevant applications distributed via BioConductor are required. A key goal will be to participate in algorithm development for the analysis of data produced with a new type of microarray independent of genome annotation.

LOCATION & TERMS

Our lab is a member of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB). The Biozentrum and the SIB provide an excellent IT infrastructure and a stimulating, international academic environment. The position is initially available for one year and can be renewed. Applications are accepted until the position is filled.
