Use the Terminal or an Anaconda Prompt for the following steps.

1. To create an environment:

   conda create --name myenv
   

   NOTE: Replace myenv with the environment name.

2. When conda asks you to proceed, type y:

   proceed ([y]/n)?
   

This creates the myenv environment in /envs/. This environment uses the same version of Python that you are currently using, because you did not specify a version.

To create an environment with a specific version of Python:

conda create -n myenv python=3.4

To create an environment with a specific package:

conda create -n myenv scipy

OR:

conda create -n myenv python
conda install -n myenv scipy

To create an environment with a specific version of a package:

conda create -n myenv scipy=0.15.0

OR:

conda create -n myenv python
conda install -n myenv scipy=0.15.0

To create an environment with a specific version of Python and multiple packages:

conda create -n myenv python=3.4 scipy=0.15.0 astroid babel

TIP: Install all the programs that you want in this environment at the same time. Installing 1 program at a time can lead to dependency conflicts.

To automatically install pip or another program every time a new environment is created, add the default programs to the create_default_packages section of your .condarc configuration file. The default packages are installed every time you create a new environment. If you do not want the default packages installed in a particular environment, use the --no-default-packages flag:

conda create --no-default-packages -n myenv python

TIP: You can add much more to the conda create command. For details, run conda create --help.

Responsibilities
The successful candidate (f/m) will pursue a Ph.D. project related to the interpretation of plant genome and transcriptome sequencing data from next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. In particular, the candidate will characterize the unexplored genome of quinoa, a crop plant of long-standing tradition in Latin America. We collaborate with research partners in Austria and abroad, and the candidate’s project will be of central importance in the context of this research network.

Required skills and qualifications
We are looking for a graduate student (f/m) with a Master’s degree in bioinformatics or in a related field, solid programming skills (e.g. developing sequence analysis tools), experience with the analysis of NGS data sets, understanding of lab methods and knowledge of genomics/transcriptomics. The group has successfully performed several projects using NGS technology. We have recently published the reference genome sequence of sugar beet (Dohm et al., Nature, 2014), a crop plant closely related to quinoa (same family, but different genus). Not yet published is a quinoa genome assembly that we have generated, and which will serve as the starting point of the candidate’s project. We are a multidisciplinary team and offer work in a lively and friendly atmosphere, and state-of-the-art computing infrastructure. We are looking forward to expanding our team by a dedicated and strongly motivated person with a distinct interest in the challenges of plant genomics.

Applications can be submitted until: 16th of August 2015

Current projects in the Morota lab include developing kernel-based whole-genome prediction and kernel-based genome-wide association models, polygenic modeling of binary traits, reexamining the results from quantitative genetics analysis in light of functional annotation, and extending kernel methods (such as GBLUP and RKHS) specifically tailored for diverse types of emerging omics data.

In addition, candidates will be expected to leverage opportunities to interact with faculty in animal genetics and biometrics at the UNL in the areas of bioinformatics, breeding, functional genomics, quantitative genetics, and molecular genetics.

Candidates should have a B.S. or M.S. degree in quantitative disciplines with strong background and interest in statistical computing.
The starting date is Fall 2015.

A letter of interest in the position, C.V., and contact information for
three references should be emailed to Gota Morota at .
Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the
