2 positions on the evolutionary analysis of biological sequences in Montpellier - France

Mon, 28 Sep 2015 08:25:48 -0500

The Methods and Algorithms for Bioinformatics (MAB) team at the LIRMM (computer science, robotics and microelectronics laboratory at the CNRS & University of Montpellier, France) is looking for talented individuals to fill two postdoctoral positions. We are seeking candidates with a strong background in computational evolutionary biology. The positions will start by the end of 2015.

The first of the positions (duration: 18-24 months), associated with the European VIROGENESIS project (http://www.kuleuven.be/english/research/EU/p/horizon2020/sc/sc1/Virogenesis), concerns the evolutionary analysis of viral sequences. Topics include -- but are not limited to -- phylogenetic classification of metagenomic reads and the recombination history of viruses.

The second position (duration: 1 year), associated with the Institute for Computational Biology (IBC, http://www.ibc-montpellier.fr), concerns evolutionary analyses of large-scale genomic data -- including the inference of very large phylogenies, gene/species tree reconciliation, comparative genomics, phylogenetic network inference and verification, phylogeography, the use of phylogenies to study the evolution of characters.

A one thousand year old city, Montpellier is a thriving research community with a multitude of biology and biomedical research centers. It is the fastest growing city in France where approximately one third of the population are students, and a wonderful location for outdoor activities (kite/wind surfing, sailing, river/sea kayaking, hiking and rock climbing). The LIRMM is one of the most visible computer science laboratories in France.
