CRI-FEM hosts GMPF, an International PhD Program in Genomics and Molecular Physiology of Fruit Crops and Fox-Lab, an international initiative in forest and wood research.
4 positions in high throughput computational metagenomics and systems biology of natural products - deadline September 30th, 2013

To support interdisciplinary research, CRI-FEM has established the Computational Biology Centre (CBC).

The mission of CBC is to develop systems-level integrative approaches connecting genotype to phenotype with a special focus on genome-wide analyses and next generation sequencing technologies.

CRI-FEM is seeking to attract 4 high calibre scientists in the areas of high throughput computational metagenomics and systems biology of natural products.

Here below the list of the 4 positions:

Now my main interests are in gene regulation, where we work on promoter analysis; non-coding RNA, where miRNAs and structure prediction are the main areas; and protein structure, where the group is working on methods for structure prediction from sequence.
