Postdoctoral position in Bioinformatics
The Genome Analysis group at the Leibniz Institute for Age Research - Fritz Lipmann Institute (genome.fli-leibniz.de) in Jena, Germany, is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in bioinformatics.
The annual fish Nothobranchius furzeri is the vertebrate with the shortest known lifespan in captivity. The FLI is currently developing genetic and genomic resources to use this model system as a tool to investigate the molecular mechanisms controlling ageing (www.fli-leibniz.de/research/nofu). Last year, first insights into the genome organisation have been obtained (Genome Biol 10:R16). Next-generation sequencing technologies (454/Solexa) are employed towards a working-draft sequence of the N. furzeri genome.
For assembly and annotation of the N. furzeri genome, we are seeking strongly motivated and highly qualified candidates having profound analytical, programming, and theoretical skills. Experience in genomics, molecular genetics, and Perl/C++/Java programming under Unix/Linux would be advantageous.
We offer an international, interdisciplinary, and technically state of the art environment where you can continually add to your skills through involvement in different lines of research. The project is being done in close collaboration with the groups of Alexander Cellerino and Christoph Englert.
Salary is according to E13, TV-L. The position is open from January 2010 for an initial period of two years, with the possibility of extension.
Please send your application including C.V., a short description of research experience and interests, and contact details of two referees and/or letters of recommendation via email to [email protected], tel +49 (0)3641 656240.
