Postdoc in Comparative Single Cell Genomics at University of Basel

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 23:41:20 -0600

A fully funded 4-year Postdoc position is available in the lab of Patrick
Tschopp at the University of Basel, Switzerland, study the molecular and
tissue-scale dynamics during the embryonic formation of the vertebrate
skeleton and compare it across different vertebrate species with distinct
habitats.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD degree in
Bioinformatics or a related field. Candidates are expected to have a
strong background in evolutionary biology and/or comparative functional
genomics. Additional experiences in single cell functional genomics
analyses, statistics and computational data analyses are a plus, as is
an interest in comparative developmental (EvoDevo) questions.

We offer a dynamic and interactive research environment with state-of-the
art research facilities, good research funding and internationally
competitive salaries.

The Tschopp lab (www.evolution.unibas.ch/tschopp/research/)
studies the gene regulatory mechanisms of cell type
specification and evolution in vertebrates. See also our
preprints at https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.03.26.586769 and
https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.28.625862 Applications should include
a motivation letter, a CV, a list of publications, a statement about
research interests, as well as the names and contact details of at
least two referees. Applications (in the form of a single .pdf file)
should be sent to Patrick Tschopp (patrick.tschopp@unibas.ch); review
of applications will begin on January 1st 2025, and will continue until
the position is filled.

Environnement de travail (Work environment):
The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group working
on the ecology and evolution of host'parasite'environment
interactions in non-model organisms, particularly snail vectors and
its trematode parasites. She/He will conduct genomic analyses aimed at
understanding host'parasite coevolution and the genetic architecture
of resistance in the invasive snail Pseudosuccinea columella to the
zoonotic parasite Fasciola hepatica. This thematic line is embedded
within the regional scientific project InvaSnail financed by the
ExposUM initiative from the Montpellier. The position is based in
Montpellier, a vibrant scientific hub in Southern France internationally
recognized for excellence in ecology and evolutionary biology. The IHPE
laboratory provides a collaborative research environment with access
to high-performance computing facilities, sequencing platforms, and
strong interdisciplinary interactions across research institutions in
the Montpellier area. University

Design and implement genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify
loci associated with phenotypic or adaptive traits
Integrate genomic, phenotypic, and environmental datasets
Contribute to the development of reproducible bioinformatics pipelines

ActivitÃ©s (Activities):

Lead the genomic component of the research project
High-molecular-weight DNA extraction optimization
Long-read genome assembly (PacBio HiFi / ONT)
Genome polishing and quality assessment (BUSCO, QUAST)
Structural and functional annotation

BOKU Lab

Wed, 08 Jan 2014 19:33:12 -0600

We are interested in the study of complex systems in living organisms. Novel views augmenting the classical gene by gene approaches are required to overcome the engineered redundancies and combinatorial effects prevalent in higher eukaryotes. We therefore combine work to establish improved quantitative experimental assays, such as microarrays or differential in-gel electrophoresis, and development of modern computational methods, such as hierarchical probabilistic models or integration of heterogeneous data sources, focussed by biological studies in our laboratory and collaborations.

Highlights of our research include:

Optimization of microarray design, probe signal interpretation
Advanced models and tools for expression profiling
State-of-the-art applications and integrated analyses
