From Orjan.Carlborg at hgen.slu.se Thu Nov 5 04:03:26 2009 From: Orjan.Carlborg at hgen.slu.se (=?iso-8859-1?Q?=D6rjan_Carlborg?=) Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 11:03:26 +0100 Subject: [Ctc] Post-doctoral position in Uppsala, Sweden Message-ID: <1F6C94A1-EE00-4C07-8B8B-C5F97F2C34FD@hgen.slu.se> Post-doctoral position in Computational Genetics The Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics is responsible for education, research and information on molecular genetics and bioinformatics, quantitative and statistical genetics, genetic evaluations and strategies for sustainable breeding programs for domestic animals. The department employs about 90 staff. Teaching at bachelor and master levels takes place primarily within the animal and veterinary science programs. You can read more on http:// www.hgen.slu.se. An increased understanding of the genetics and evolution of complex traits is not only of fundamental scientific interest but is of paramount importance for future developments in most areas of biology, including human medicine and agriculture. We aim to provide new insights into complex-trait genetics by using and developing new computational methods in the areas of mathematical modeling, statistical analysis and simulation. We also conduct empirical work where we establish our own experimental animal populations and characterize these phenotypically and genetically using e.g. genome- resequencing and high-density genotyping - all with an aim to validate and replicate important findings. This Post Doctoral position is an important part in this effort. The Post Doctoral researcher will join our young and growing Computational Genetics group. We provide a supportive environment and strongly believe in an interdisciplinary approach, so we encourage applicants with a non-standard background to apply. We are based in Uppsala at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and also have links with Uppsala University. More information about our group is available at http://www.computationalgenetics.se and http://www.lcb.uu.se . The position comprises development and use of methods, algorithms and tools for complex trait genetic analyses as well as studies of how genetic variation in complex genetic networks contributes to expression and evolution of complex traits. A successful applicant should have relevant scientific education (PhD degree or similar) and an interest in quantitative, population and/or evolutionary genetics. A strong mathematical / statistical background and programming experience is an advantage. Employment as a post doctor is limited to two years at full time. SLU is an equal opportunity employer.

Successful candidates will have opportunities to work on exciting new projects on protein function prediction based on structures and characterization of function-determining residues. The ideal candidate should have demonstrated research ability in computational biology and bioinformatics or a relevant scientific discipline, interest and (to a lesser degree) experience in project areas, and a strong programming skill in a computer language (such as C/C++, Java,MATLAB/R). Knowledge of statistical machine learning and numerical optimization is a plus. The training program at SSG is designed for postdoctoral trainees with doctoral degrees and some prior training or expertise in the statistical, mathematical, computational, or biological sciences who seek training at the interface between statistical and molecular genetics. Salary is commensurate with qualifications but in all cases equals or exceeds NIH post-doctoral stipends. Application should be sent with a CV and a one-page statement of interest to Dr. Degui Zhi by email at dzhi at uab.edu. With thanks, Richard F.
