Ph.D Positions in Bioinformatics
Two PhD positions in bioinformatics are immediately available at the
newly founded Institute for Bioinformatics at the Johannes Kepler
University (JKU) Linz, Austria. Both positions include teaching
responsibilities (possible in English), are initially for 2 years, and
can be extended to additional 4 years.
The JKU supplies a perfect environment for bioinformatics research
with
its strong biophysics and biochemical groups. The research activities
in
bioinformatics are currently promoted by the Upper Austrian government
in its strategic program for future investments in science and
technology. The city of Linz, located in the beautiful alpine uplands,
is a nice place to live between Salzburg and Vienna (both cities are
reachable by an approximately 1,5 hours train trip).
The bioinformatics group's research interests currently include, among
others, the analysis of microarray and SNP data, protein 3D structure
prediction, protein classification, sequence analysis and motif
extraction, and molecular dynamics.
The ideal applicants will have a Master's or Diploma's degree with a
background in machine learning, data mining, statistics, biology,
chemistry, or physics. Programming skills in a high-level programming
language are required.
Salary will be paid in accordance with the Austrian government salary
scale. Women in particular are invited to apply. If several applicants
have approximately equivalent qualifications, the rules on equal
opportunities will be applied.
Application:
CV and additional application documents can be send by 22nd March 2006
to Johannes Kepler University Linz, Personalabteilung der Zentralen
Dienste, Altenbergerstr. 69, A-4040 Linz/Auhof, Austria or by email to
britta.horwat at jku.at
