Postdoctoral associate position in computational biology
University of Lausanne and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
Working at the interface between biology and computer science, the Dessimoz Lab seeks to better understand evolutionary and functional relationships between genes, genomes, and species. The group is also a member of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
The ideal applicant will have research interests generally aligned with the interests of the Dessimoz Lab. We have ongoing projects that would benefit from a skilled and motivated postdoc working in the areas of phylogenetic methods, in semantic data
Qualifications
We are seeking to recruit candidates with either a PhD degree in biology with solid computational and quantitative skills, or with a PhD in a quantitative area (mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering, ...) with prior research activity in biological sciences.
Prior experience in publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals is required, but note that we support the principles of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) principles. Candidates need to have demonstrated programming skills—ideally in the areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, and comparative genomics. Experience with evolutionary and comparative genomics analyses would be an advantage.
