Hi, We're looking for a number of people to join our group (Applied Computational Biology and Bioinformatics -- [ACBB]) and applying state of the art techniques (see for example, xmap.picr.man.ac.uk) to integrate, analyse and interpret datasets arising from the latest generation of microarrays (including exon, SNP and tiling arrays), quantitative mass-spectrometry and next generation sequencing. I've included brief details below -- there's more information in the jobs section of our website (http://bioinformatics.picr.man.ac.uk)... Cheers, Crispin ---- Postdoctoral Scientist - specialist in transcription A position is available a computational biologist with significant experience analysing high throughput genomic data including, for example, expression, tiling and SNP arrays, to develop novel software and strategies for the latest generation of genomics data. Postdoctoral Scientist - pathway specialist A position is available for a computational biologist interested in building integrated models of gene expression from high throughput genomics data, including microarrays and quantitative proteomics. Postdoctoral Scientist - specialist in sequence analysis A position is available for a biologist with significant experience in gene prediction and genome sequence analysis. Bioinformatics Programmer A position is available for a software engineer to build novel databases and Bioconductor/R software for the analysis of biological data. The deadline for all positions is Monday 8th February 2008. ---- -------------------------------------------------------- This email is confidential and intended solely for the u...{{dropped:13}}

CRG Bioinformatician CRG Programme: Bioinformatics and Genomics CRG Group: Microarray Laboratory Ref. 1. Post Description: BIOINFORMATICIAN DUTIES: To provide expert support for the development of customized tools for data analysis of microarray experiments and integration with other types of high throughput genomic data. The successful candidate will be the leader and part of an interdisciplinary team interacting with members from the Bioinformatics and Genomics program at the CRG. LOCATION: The CRG (Center for Genomic Regulation) is an up and growing research institution with state of the art facilities in the brand new building of the PRBB (Barcelona Biomedical Research Park). It is located in downtown Barcelona, on the Mediterranean seafront. Barcelona is an attractive cosmopolitan city in North Eastern Spain, in the region of Catalonia, with warm, easygoing and hospitable people and a rich history,. It has all the amenities of a large modern city, including lots of cultural activities, and the comforts of extensive public service and transportation system. The PRBB has a growing research community, with people from many countries, and a critical mass in bioinformatics and molecular biology, offering exciting opportunities for young scientists. 2. Candidate requirements * Experience: Bioinformatics and/or Statistics * Studies: A university degree (Diploma, BS, MSc, or PhD) in statistics, mathematics or computer science is preferred (although, with relevant background, other degrees in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacy, physics or medicine will be considered) * Languages: knowledge of English * Computer skills: Familiarity with microarray data analysis and/or serial analysis of gene expression and/or other sequence data analysis and/or applied satistics. Experience with the R statistical environment and Bioconductor tools highly desirable. Knowledge of the linux operative system, basic/advanced programming (perl, python or related), as well as some background in molecular biology will also be considered strong assets. * Personality: Independent, fast learner, with good communication skills and proven track record of team work. 3. Conditions * Type of contract: 3 year contract (core funded) * Estimated annual gross salary: competitive salary according to profile and experience. * Starting date: Within 30 days after the decision 4.
