Post-doc positions in bioinformatics
The Computational Genomics Laboratory (www.evocell.org) is looking for
a post-doctoral fellow to work on the origins and evolution of
intracellular compartmentalization and protein trafficking pathways,
and a second post-doctoral fellow to work, in collaboration with the
Cell Cycle Regulation Lab (http://sites.igc.gulbenkian.pt/ccr/), in
the evolution of centrioles and their regulatory pathways. This
involves a mixture of small-scale sequence and structural analysis as
well as global genomic analyses, combined with the design and
implementation of databases, visualization and querying systems.
This post would suit someone with prior experience in bioinformatics
and/or computer science, with an interest in evolution, genomics and
cell biology. We favor experience with scripting (Perl and/or Python),
databases (SQL), familiarity with molecular evolution and protein
structure. Extremely motivated applicants with any combination of the
above skills will be considered.
The fellowship would be initially for two years. The successful
candidate would be encouraged to apply for independent funding from
international funding bodies.
The Institute “Instituto Gulbenkian de
Ciencia” (www.igc.gulbenkian.pt) is located in Oeiras, a small sea-
side town 12 Km away from Lisbon, next to several other research
institutions. We are a private research institute with roughly 30
research groups, pursuing fundamental questions in biomedical sciences
using interdisciplinary approaches. We are part of a research
consortium with two other research institutes, and within this there
is wide interest in computational and theoretical biology
(http://compbio.igc.gulbenkian.pt
). The institute promotes the organization of workshops, courses and
various types of meetings or visitors programs (e.g. EMBO workshop on
Light Microscopy on Living Cells, PhD program in Computational Biology
and regular Bioinformatics Training program both taught mostly by
international faculty) and it has a generous budget for inviting
international speakers. All communications are done in English (even
within teams that only have Portuguese members). And the quality of
life is great in Portugal (the Institute is 5 min walking distance
from beach), and the cost of living is still lower than in most other
places in the European Union.
Applications in PDF format will be accepted by email only (to jleal
at igc.gulbenkian.pt ) until February 15th, 2008, and will include:
-a short CV
-a statement of research interests
-two recommendation letters or contacts of two references
