Open Post-Doc Position in Genome Analysis

DESCRIPTION

A Post-Doc position (1 year plus possible extension; BAT IIa) is available for computational analyses of conserved non-genic DNA sequences (CNGs). Of particular interest are content-based relationships between CNGs and genic regions, which will be modelled by methods coming from communication engineering and information theory. Alternatively, a phylogenetic profiling approach together with a novel conservation score will be used to test for functional relationships between CNGs and genic regions.

REQUIREMENTS

Candidates should have a strong background in genome analysis, (i.e. database queries, genome annotation, etc.), in genetics and potentially in biological modelling and should be highly motivated to broaden their methodological spectrum by the interdisciplinary approach.
