Ph.D. Fellowship (Computational Biology/Bioinformatics) : Cork, Ireland : Cork, Ireland

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:09:00 -0500

Ph.D. Fellowship (18,000 euro/pa, plus tuition fees at the EU students rate) is available for four years to work on development of Bioinformatics resources for the analysis and visualization of ribosome profiling data. Ribosome profiling (ribo-seq) is a technology that allows mapping positions of the ribosomes on the whole transcriptome level with a nucleotide precision. The technology allows obtaining high resolution digital snapshots of gene expression in cells. The position is available starting on the 1st of October, 2013.

Candidate:
The candidate is expected to have B.S. or M.S. degree in the disciplines such as Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or Electrical Engineering. The candidates with the backgrounds in Life Science disciplines such as Bioinformatics, Computational or Quantitative Biology will also be considered.

Location:
The position is available at LAPTI (http://lapti.ucc.ie) that is located in the Western Gate Building (http://www.stwarchitects.com/project-information.php?c=1&p=09993) at University College Cork. Western Gate Building Research Complex hosts several UCC departments and provides ideal environment for interdisciplinary research. Cork (sometimes referenced as “Venice of Ireland”) is the second most populous city in the Republic. It has friendly cosmopolitan atmosphere and vibrant culture. A number of American industrial giants such as Apple , EMC and Pfizer have chosen Cork as a home for their European headquarters.

Application process:
The details of the application process are given at http://lapti.ucc.ie/jobs.html. To ensure prompt processing of your application use the subject line: ‘Ph.D. computational’. All applications received prior to August the 1st are guaranteed equal consideration. However, applications at the later dates will also be considered until the position is filled.

BINC Exam merged with DBT- BET JRF Exam

Jit — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 09:37:36 -0600

Another breaking news received has been received from the Department of biotechnology – DBT. As per a notification released by DBT, Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) Exam conducted once per year by DBT has been now merged with DBT- BET JRF Exam.

Also, Bioinformatics Industrial Training Program (BIITP) is merged with the HRD Biotechnology Industrial Training Programme (BITP).

While this comes as a surprise for a lot of participants. We believe this is a good attempt to unify and create a national benchmark for talent. And we appreciate this endeavor from Department of biotechnology.

However, such last-minute announcements can create confusion. Thus candidates are advised to go through the complete notification DBT-BET JRF 2019 via the link below.If you have any kind of doubts, you must contact DBT JRF or Biotecnika for any kind of help & assistance.

Attention:-Bioinformatics Programs (BINC and BIITP)

1. Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) has been merged with DBT-Junior
Research Fellow (BET Exam)

2. Bioinformatics Industrial Training Program (BIITP) is merged with HRDBiotechnology Industrial Training Programme (BITP).

Students of Bioinformatics, who are interested to apply for Fellowship or Industrial
Training may keep track of the advertisement of DBT-JRF (BET Exam) and BITP
of DBT.

The Clark Lab

Fri, 07 Feb 2020 13:57:24 -0600

Study the process of Adaptive Evolution, during which species adopt novel traits to overcome challenges. We retrace the evolutionary histories of genomic elements to determine the changes underlying adaptation and to discover previously unknown genetic networks. These discoveries have already led to advances in human health, species conservation, and molecular biology.
