PostDoc (3 years) position in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
at the Department of Science and Technology, University of Sannio,
Benevento, Italy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited for postdoctoral researchers (Assegno di
ricerca) in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the Department
of Science and Technology, University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy.
This position is associated to a project entitled "Non-Coding RNA
Explosion: Novel Implications in Neurotrophin Biology" (FIRB 2012
grant nr. RBFR12QW4I). The aim of this project is to identify
non-coding RNAs functionally associated with neurotrophic factors of
the neurotrophin family in the model vertebrate zebrafish. The study
is expected to provide a panel of new regulatory molecules involved in
neurothrophin-regulated signal transduction pathways, under
physiological and pathological conditions of the nervous system
development and function.
The successful post-doc candidate will work in a multidisciplinary
bioinformatics team composed by computer and life sciences
researchers, and will strongly cooperate with wet labs of the other
partners of the project. He/she will have opportunities to be involved
in cutting-edge research with a high potential for career development.
The main activities will be focused on data analysis, in particular
sequence analysis, comparative genomics, and the development of novel
algorithms in the context of ncRNA discovery and regulation.
REQUIREMENTS:
- PhD in bioinformatics, computer science, statistics or related fields
- Basic understanding of molecular biology
- Experience in bioinformatics
- Experience in data analysis
- Excellent programming skills (at least Perl/Bioperl and R/Bioconductor)
- Experience with Unix/Linux environments
- Publication record in peer-reviewed journals
- Good comprehension of biologically relevant problems and good
problem-solving skills
- Adequate level of English
- Age <= 32
TERMS:
The start date for this position is expected to be in the second half
of 2013 and its duration is of 3 (three) years.
LOCALE:
The main venues for the position will be the University of Sannio in
Benevento (http://www.unisannio.it) and the Institute of Genetic
Research (Biogem, http://www.biogem.it) in Ariano Irpino (AV).
Benevento is a nice southern Italy city with a well-preserved historic
centre, conveniently located in the middle way between Naples and
Apulia coast. University of Sannio is a young and emerging University
that grants degrees in Computer Science, Biotechnology, and PhD
programs in Computer Engineering and Bioinformatics. Biogem is a
nonprofit research institute situated in a campus of 33.000 square
meters of which 8.000 are devoted to research laboratories, teaching
facilities and services. Benevento and the territory around offer a
variety of cultural opportunities all year around, a modest cost of
living, and last but not least excellent food and wine (more info on:
