Postdoc position: Computational Biology/ Genomics/Transcriptomics/Bioinformatics 818 views

The Institute of Agricultural Science, Animal Genomics and Animal Physiology Groups at ETH Zurich invite applications for a Postdoctoral position in Computational Biology/ Genomics/Transcriptomics/Bioinformatics.

About the position:
  • The selected postdoctoral researcher will implement bioinformatics methods to combine short and long sequencing reads for the de-novo assembly of large animal genomes.
  • Sequencing technologies that generate long-read sequence data from single molecules at sufficient throughput facilitate the de-novo assembly of large genomes at unprecedented contiguity.
  • High-quality genome assemblies are available for many mammalian species but such a resource is missing for the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).
  • The aim is to combine long- and short-read sequencing data to generate a first de-novo assembly of the European roe deer and to perform RNA-Seq and Methyl-Seq analyses.

Requirements:

  • Applications are open to early experienced, highly motivated young researcher with a strong enthusiasm to conduct cutting-edge research in the interdisciplinary field of computational biology, bioinformatics and functional genomics in the context of livestock and wildlife physiology.
  • Candidate is expected to contribute to ongoing genomics-related projects in our young interdisciplinary research group.
  • Candidate must hold PhD in Bioinformatics, Genomics.
  • Proficiency in the analysis of long-read sequencing data is expected and experience in the assembly of eukaryotic genomes is highly desired.
  • Candidates should have demonstrated ability to work independently in an interdisciplinary research environment.

Applications:

Apply via online application portal including the following:

  • Letter of motivation
  • Detailed CV including a publication list
  • Copies of certificates
  • Application to be addressed to: ETH Zurich, Prof. Susanne E. Ulbrich
