Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biology or Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics Center, Institute for Chemical Research
Kyoto University
A post-doctoral position in computational biology or bioinformatics is
available at the Proteome Informatics Laboratory, Institute for
Chemical Research, Kyoto University, Japan. This laboratory was
established in April 2002 with donations from Silicon Graphics Japan,
Ltd. It is well funded and provides an excellent research environment.
The position is for one year but renewable, by mutual agreement, until
as late as March 2005.
The main objective of the laboratory is to build novel computational
approaches for analyzing a variety of subjects related to proteomes.
Current application areas of the laboratory include predicting new
protein-protein interactions, finding small chemical compounds that
bind to certain proteins, modeling carbohydrate chains, and analyzing
metabolic pathways. The laboratory uses a variety of computational
techniques, including algorithmic/theoretical approaches such as
time-efficient algorithms for the maximum common subgraph problem as
well as machine learning approches for probabilistic models.
The candidate should have a Ph.D. and solid technical experience in
one of the above fields or another field in computer science or a
similar quantitative area of study. The applicant should be
enthusiastic and energetic in doing new research in proteome
informatics and should have sufficient programming skills in C, C++ or
Java.
Kyoto University's Institute for Chemical Research is located 15-km
south of downtown Kyoto and 40-km north of the center of Nara, and
thus convenient to Japan's two most famous historical cities. The
location is ideal for enjoying traditional Japanese beauty while
working in the exciting new field of proteome informatics.
