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.

National Training on Bioinformatics Computational Tools for Microbial Research Nov 19 to 30, 2013

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:49:34 -0500

Agricultural research in modern scientific arena is being represented by proper integration among various research fields of biological, chemical and physical sciences, because this field encompasses many more complexities of biology in nature. In the era of fast accumulating biological data coming out from the research on many crop plants, live stocks and microbes and the impact of changing climate, habitat and other interrelations on these biological entities, bioinformatics has come forward across the globe to solve the problems of analysis, prediction, storage, management, pattern recognition, submission, retrieval and storage of the data to find out a fruitful outcome. This area is becoming increasingly important in the context of systems biology approach where a holistic approach is required to understand the biology and chemistry of the biological entities and their behavior during environmental interactions to resolve the harmful impact of biotic or abiotic causes on crop plants, animals, fishes, livestock sector, beneficial insects as well as microbes. The National Training program on ‘Computational Tools for Microbial Research” is an initiative for the capacity building of NARS scientists/researchers in this most emerging area and fast developing area of i.e. agricultural bioinformatics.

Stay-at-Home RevBayes Workshop

Sat, 20 Jun 2020 11:53:24 -0500

Stay-at-Home RevBayes Workshop
Location: Anywhere (online-only event)
Dates: 7/13, 2020 to 8/12, 2020
Instructors: Joëlle Barido-Sottani, Walker Pett, Josh Justison, Wade Dismukes, Luiza Fabreti, Tracy Heath, Jeremy M. Brown, Rosana Zenil-Ferguson
Register: https://iastate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_02sCYRWbxYK9I5D

Description
This free online-only RevBayes workshop will provide an introduction to the theory and use of RevBayes, with a focus on (1) tree inference from molecular data, (2) analyses combining fossil and extant taxa, and (3) evaluating MCMC performance, with advanced topics including assessing model adequacy and macroevolutionary analyses. Additional topics may be added depending on the interests of selected participants. The format will be a combination of interactive video sessions (via Zoom or similar tools), real-time discussions over Slack, self-guided tutorials, and pre-recorded videos.

The initial session will resolve technical issues and present the basics of using RevBayes. Participants will then be expected to work through several tutorials on their own schedule, with the help of pre-recorded materials. A Slack forum will be open for questions and issues. The workshop will conclude with several online Q&A sessions with the instructors. The dates for the interactive sessions are currently tentative and may be adjusted depending on the schedules of the participants and instructors.

We are hoping to identify up to 15 participants for this online course. While we hope we are able to accommodate everyone who applies, we realize that this may not be possible because of time-zones and availability. If the number of applicants exceeds our capacity, we hope to organize a second round of sessions later in the year. Participants will not be charged for the course, but we will request that they commit to completing the tutorials and attending a majority of interactive sessions.

To apply to this course, please go to the registration form and submit your application by July 6, 2020.
