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 a 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.)
Additional information and requirements for the project: 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)

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.

COMPENSATION

We offer internationally competitive conditions and benefits (National FWF Scale).

HOW TO APPLY

To submit an application, please follow the instructions on the programme pages, http://biotop.boku.ac.at. The programme secretary will be happy to assist you with any questions about formal requirements and the application process (biotop[at]boku.ac.at).

DEADLINE: 30th September 2010
