    BACKGROUND

    The Department has an active research program in evolutionary developmental biology studying the nematode satellite organism Pristionchus pacificus, the genome of which has just been sequenced by NIH (http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/12511858).

    An overview of our model system can be obtained in BioEssays 28, 651-659 (2006).

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    The project will concentrate on one or more aspects listed below:
    • The 3D structure of the genome and long-range interactions.
    • Enhancer prediction and classification.
    • Modelling cis and trans effects on transcription.
    • Impact of gene regulation on speciation events. Analysis of inter-species hybrids.

    REQUIREMENTS

    The ideal candidate should have
    • A MSc degree or equivalent in bioinformatics or life sciences.
    • Strong programming skills in a scripting (Perl and/or Python) and high-level language (Java and/or C++).
    • Sound background in probability theory and statistics is desirable.
    Wet-lab experience is advantageous as biological experiments will be part of the project.
