[BioC] Position for Computational Scientist at EMBL

[Wolfgang Huber]

http://www.embl.de/aboutus/jobs/jobs_embl_heidelberg/2010/w_09_101/index.html


Job description:

Next generation sequencing technologies are revolutionizing genetics by 
allowing us to sequence the genomes of many different individual 
organisms in a population and to observe their complex coding and 
non-coding transcriptomes and regulatory events under many conditions. 
Powerful genetic tools such as QTL mapping, large scale polymorphism 
libraries, RNAi and high content phenotyping allow the dissection of 
causal relationships.

These tasks create exciting opportunities for computational scientists 
to develop novel methods in statistics, signal processing and 
mathematical modeling. Our team of computational scientists, in the 
Genome Biology unit of the EMBL in Heidelberg, is tightly integrated in 
loops of experimentation, data analysis, model building, interpretation 
and refined experimentation.


Qualifications and experience:

The ideal candidate has a PhD in a quantitative or computational 
discipline; interest in multidisciplinary work covering statistics, 
mathematical modeling, genetics and molecular biology; competence in 
scientific computing and computer programming; interest in biology and 
its experimental technologies. A good publication record (which can 
include academic papers and scientific software) is expected.

EMBL is an international organisation, the working language is English.


Best wishes
      Wolfgang
