Opportunity: Post-doctoral research fellow 3yrs+, BIOINFORMATICS / integrated analysis @ Boku University--Vienna, Austria
Submitted by D Kreil; posted on Sunday, August 8, 2010

BACKGROUND

We need an outstanding scientist excited about integrated approaches for the analysis of heterogeneous data (expression profiles, phosphorylation proteomics, sequence analysis results, and various heterogeneous databases). Experimental data are generated by experienced colleagues in house.

Our group focusses on the challenge of extracting structured insight from genome-scale experiments. Besides working with colleagues in the group, established and novel analysis tools will be applied to the study of host-parasite interactions (biocontrol project, http://bioinf.boku.ac.at/biogen.php).

RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be responsible for the development of novel integrated approaches in the deep bioinformatics analysis of heterogeneous data sets, applying and adapting existing systems as well as developing novel components as needed.

REQUIREMENTS

Solid skills and experience in software development under Unix (e.g., Matlab or R, C/C++ or Java, Perl or Python, Bash ... ) are required.
An interest in interdisciplinary work and excellent communication skills in English are essential (working knowledge of German is a plus).
You need a PhD in a technical or scientific field and must have experience in at least one of these three areas:
- Classical or probabilistic analysis of DNA or protein sequences,
- Integration of bioinformatics databases and analysis tools,
- Analysis / interpretation of microarray data.

TERMS

The position is available immediately and has an initial tenure of three years.

LOCALE

Vienna, Austria. While travel is not necessary, we have active collaborations with several groups in 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.

HOW TO APPLY

We look forward to receiving your application. Applications will be considered until the position has been filled and should be addressed to David Kreil. Please include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and the names of three referees, who should be asked to send references to us directly. Feel free to please contact us if you have any questions.
