    BACKGROUND

    Understanding the regulation of gene activity is key to learning about or controlling biological processes. With the increasing availability of genome scale profiling technologies, it is the interpretation of the resulting high-dimensional data sets that has become a major bottle-neck. Computational methods need to be developed and validated that can take advantage of complementary data sources and a context of existing knowledge.

    In this context, we can offer two pre-doctoral fellowships in Bioinformatics as part of an international PhD programme at the interface of basic science and applications in the fields of protein biotechnology.

    We invite applications from highly motivated, outstanding students.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • You will have a university degree in a technical or scientific discipline at the M. Sc. level or equivalent.
    • Research in this field requires good statistical and software engineering skills. Candidates must hence be able to demonstrate previous coding experience (e. g., in R, C/C++ or Java, Perl or Python, Bash, ).
    • The projects involve complex data sets and experience with bioinformatics data analysis is an advantage.
    • The interdisciplinary nature of the group's work means that good communication skills in English are essential. (Working knowledge of German is a plus.)
    • There are additional information and requirements for each of the two projects below:
    • - Joint modelling of gene expression patterns and regulatory potential of genome sequence regions for sensitive process identification (see http://bioinf.boku.ac.at/job21.php)
    • - Modelling of interactions in miRNA and gene expression, and target validation (see http://bioinf.boku.ac.at/job22.php)

    LOCALE

    While travel is not necessary, we have active collaborations with Cambridge, and encourage exchange with our partners. Vienna is a thriving international city with a vibrant scientific environment and excellent quality of life.

    SALARY & COMPENSATION

    We offer internationally competitive conditions and benefits.

    HOW TO APPLY

    See http://biotop.boku.ac.at for details. Please contact Ms Christa Jakopitsch, biotop[at]boku.ac.at, for any advice or help with administrative issues.

    DEADLINE: 15 May 2010
