Ph.D / Postdoctoral Position in Bioinformatics at Johannes Kepler
University Linz, Austria
A position in bioinformatics is immediately available at the newly
founded Institute for Bioinformatics at the Johannes Kepler University
(JKU) Linz, Austria. The duration of the employment will be 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 position is part of a project on the development of new drugs
against avian flu and other viruses. Toward this end machine learning
and bioinformatics methods are used to analyse the virus genome ? for
example the coiled-coil structure of the avian flu virus surface
protein
hemagglutinin will be investigated. The project is in collaboration
with
the Molecular Libraries and Recognition Group at the Charit? in Berlin
and the Robert Koch Institute, Berlin.
The position is open both for postdocs and PhD students.
The ideal applicant will have knowledge in bioinformatics, computer
science, biology, mathematics chemistry, or physics. Background in
machine learning, data mining or statistics would be helpful.
Programming skills in a high-level programming language are required.
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 17th May 2006
to
Birgit Hauer, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Institute for
Bioinformatics, Altenbergerstr. 69, A-4040 Linz, Austria or by email
to
