FSA brings the high accuracies previously available only for small-scale analyses of proteins or RNAs to large-scale problems such as aligning thousands of sequences or megabase-long sequences. FSA introduces several novel methods for constructing better alignments:

• FSA uses machine-learning techniques to estimate gap and substitution parameters on the fly for each set of input sequences. This "query-specific learning" alignment method makes FSA very robust: it can produce superior alignments of sets of homologous sequences which are subject to very different evolutionary constraints.
• FSA is capable of aligning hundreds or even thousands of sequences using a randomized inference algorithm to reduce the computational cost of multiple alignment. This randomized inference can be over ten times faster than a direct approach with little loss of accuracy.
• FSA can quickly align very long sequences using the "anchor annealing" technique for resolving anchors and projecting them with transitive anchoring. It then stitches together the alignment between the anchors using the methods described above.
• The included GUI, MAD (Multiple Alignment Display), can display the intermediate alignments produced by FSA, where each character is colored according to the probability that it is correctly aligned (see the picture and movie at the top of the page).

The Department of Informatics is a vacant position as a researcher in computer science, related to Computational Biology Unit (CBU), for 3 years.

The position is part of CBU Service Group and will focus on bioinformatic analysis project and especially the analysis of high-throughput data, including NGS (sequencing), and proteomics data.

The successful candidate will be part of the Norwegian bioinformatics platform's national helpdesk within the project ELIXIR.NO

Applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant subject such as computer science, mathematics, molecular biology and also possess expertise and experience in bioinformatics statistics and analysis of data from high-throughput molecular experiment.

Basic programming or scripting skills are required. Experience in Python, R, Perl, Linux-based operating systems and moreover knowledge of databases and web programming will be a strength for applicants.

We expect enthusiasm and independence and moreover the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team environment.

Good knowledge of English is required.

Salaries start at level 57 (code 1109/LR 24.1) by appointment. Further promotion occurs after
service seniority in the position (at grade 57-65). Of particularly highly qualified applicants may be considered a higher salary.

Further information about the position is available from the chair of the CBU,
Professor Inge Jonassen, e-mail: Inge.Jonassen @ ii.uib.no

The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply at any given time the position.

State employment shall as far as possible reflect the diversity of the population. It is therefore an objective to achieve a balanced age and sex composition and the recruitment of persons with immigrant backgrounds. Persons with immigrant background are requested to apply for the position.

Women are particularly encouraged to apply. If the experts find that several applicants have approximately equivalent qualifications, the rules on equal in the Personnel Regulations for Academic Positions will be applied.

University of Bergen applies the principles of public openness when recruiting staff to scientific positions.

Information about the applicant may be made public even though the applicant has requested not to be named in the list of applicants. If the request does not host admitted to the result, the applicant shall be notified of this.

Send application, CV, certificates, diplomas, undergraduate work and a list of publications (list of publications) online by clicking on https://www.jobbnorge.no/jobbsoknet/login.aspx?returnurl=/jobbsoknet/jobapplication.aspx?jobid=95196

You need to upload certified translations into English or a Scandinavian language of appendices, such as diplomas and transcripts.

Applications sent by email to individuals at the institute will not be considered.

Deadline: 9 August 2013

Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Switzerland

Two postdoctoral positions (2 years with possible extensions up to 5 years) are available immediately in the evolutionary genomics group of Henrik Kaessmann.

We are seeking highly qualified and enthusiastic applicants with strong skills in computational biology/bioinformatics, preferably also with experience in data mining and comparative or evolutionary genome analysis.

We have been interested in a range of topics related to the functional evolution of genomes from primates (e.g., the emergence of new genes and their functions) and other mammals (e.g., the origin and evolution of mammalian sex chromosomes). In the framework of a recently launched series of projects, a large amount of transcriptome and genome (e.g., epigenome) data are being produced by the wet lab unit of the group using next generation sequencing technologies for a unique collection of tissues from representative mammals and outgroup species (e.g., birds). Topics of current projects based on these data include the origins and/or evolution of protein-coding genes, alternative splicing, microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and dosage compensation.

The postdoctoral fellow will perform integrated evolutionary/bioinformatics analyses based on data produced in the lab and available genomic data. The specific project will be developed together with the candidate.

The language of the institute is English, and its members form an international group that is rapidly expanding. The institute is located in Lausanne, a beautiful city at Lake Geneva.

For more information on the group and our institute more generally, please refer to our website: http://www.unil.ch/cig/page7858_en.html

Please submit a CV, statement of research interest, and names of three references to: Henrik Kaessmann (Henrik.Kaessmann@unil.ch).
