Postdoc position (m/w/d)

in the field of computational evolutionary microbiology is available
for an initially limited period of 36 months at the earliest possible
date. The weekly working time corresponds to 100% of full employment
(If the legal requirements under collective bargaining law are met, the
tariff grouping is carried out up to pay scale 13 TV-L. The obligation
to teach amounts to 4 hours.

The Genomic Microbiology Group research interests are focused on
microbial genome evolution with an emphasis on the study of lateral gene
transfer. In our research we use both computational and experimental
approaches (see www.uni-kiel.de/genomik). The position offers the
opportunity to develop an independent research profile within the group
research focus. The successful applicant is expected to be involved
in teaching of bioinformatics and molecular evolution, including the
development of teaching materials (lectures/exercises/short videos).

Your profile:
· Doctoral or PhD degree in Molecular Evolution, Bioinformatics or
related fields.
· Knowledge and experience in programming (e.g., Python) and
biostatistical analysis (e.g., with R or MatLab).
· Any of the following expertise is an advantage: the analysis of
genomic or transcriptomic data, phylogenetic reconstruction,
comparative genomics.
· Good oral and written communication skills in English.
· Ability to teach in German is an advantage (alternatively, an
indication to do so from the 2nd year on).
· Skills and motivation to communicate and interact with other
scientists.

The Christian-Albrechts-University sees itself as a modern and
cosmopolitan employer. We welcome your application regardless of your age,
gender, cultural and social background, religion, ideology, disability

   • You can access the 16S ribosomal RNA sequences from NCBI's Nucleotide database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/).
   • Perform a search using keywords like "16S rRNA" or specific bacterial names to find relevant sequences.
   • You can download sequences individually or in batches using the provided tools.

2. GreenGenes:

   • GreenGenes is a widely used 16S rRNA gene sequence database.
   • You can access it at http://greengenes.secondgenome.com/.
   • GreenGenes provides precompiled databases for various purposes, including classification, alignment, and phylogenetic analysis.

3. SILVA:

   • SILVA (https://www.arb-silva.de/) is another comprehensive database for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences.
   • It covers not only 16S rRNA but also other ribosomal RNA sequences.
   • SILVA provides precompiled databases for various purposes, including taxonomic classification and alignment.

4. Ribosomal Database Project (RDP):

   • RDP (http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/) is a curated database that offers 16S rRNA sequences.
   • It provides tools for sequence analysis and classification.
   • You can download sequences and taxonomy information from their website.

5. QIIME (Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology):

   • QIIME (https://qiime2.org/) is a widely used bioinformatics platform for microbiome analysis.
   • It provides tools for analyzing microbial communities, including processing 16S rRNA sequences.
   • QIIME often includes its own preprocessed 16S rRNA databases that can be used for analysis within the platform.

Before downloading any database, make sure to read the terms of use and citation requirements, as some databases may have specific usage policies. Additionally, consider the compatibility of the database with your analysis pipeline and software tools.
