HIV PhD and MSc Research Positions

Mon, 16 Sep 2013 18:55:44 -0500

SANBI are looking to recruit two MSc students and a PhD student who are interested in implementing a computational biology approach to explore HIV’s glycan shield. Successful candidates for the MSc should hold an honours degree in physics, computer science or biological sciences while PhD applicants should hold an honours degree and a MSc in one or more of physics, computer science or biological sciences.

As these positions are funded by the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) priority will be given to South African citizens and permanent residents however exceptional applicants who do not fulfil these criteria may be considered.

Applications including a CV outlining your experience together with a cover letter detailing why you are a suitable candidate should be sent to simon_at_sanbi.ac.za by 30th September 2013.

Institut Pasteur de Tunis (IPT):
The IPT is a research institution founded in 1883. IPT is under the supervision of the Ministry of Health and is part of the Université El Manar of Tunis (Ministry of high Education). The missions of the institute are: Public Health Laboratory activities (PHL), Research on infectious diseases, and R/D on vaccines. Research programs are mainly oriented towards local health problems such as leishmaniais, viral hepatitis, and scorpion venoms. The group of Bioinformatics and Modelling of the IPT is hosted by the Laboratoire d’Immunopathologie Vaccinologie et Génétique Moléculaire (LIVGM), and exists since the beginning of 2005. Its present research activities include: genome annotation, EST clustering and modelling of the host/parasite response to Leishmania infection. It consists of two senior scientists, two PhD students and one MSc student

Centre de Biotechnology de Sfax (CBS):
Bioinformatics activity started at CBS in 2001 with the settingup of a research and service unit of bioinformatics. This unit currently includes one senior researcher, one engineer and four Phd students. Activities include sequence annotation (service) and three research programs: ab initio prediction of short eukaryote genes, statistical modelling by Bayesian networks approach of signal transduction pathways and statistical analysis of human sequence variation data (haplotype reconstruction and linkage disequilibrium). Activities of the Bioinformatics unit could be found at the website: http://www.cbs.rnrt.tn/ and the research activity report is available under request to Bioinformatics@cbs.rnrt.tn. Although the computing facilities are good, there is still a need for trained human resources to strengthen bioinformatics capacities at CBS, particularly in structural bioinformatics.

In our lab, we seek to characterize and to compare genomes in order to better understand genetic and evolutionary processes linking genotypes to phenotypes.

Sequencing and decoding plant genomes have been integral in our approaches.

The overarching goal of our research is to understand how to interpret complex and fascinating messages embedded in genomes.
