The candidate will be mainly in charge of developing research on Gene Expression/SNP Arrays data, NGS whole -exome and -transcriptome datasets and biological networks in the contexts of genetic diseases, innovative therapies and regenerative medicine. Main activities will be: (i) data analysis (short-reads mapping, genomics aberrations discovery and annotation, variants pathogenicity detection); (ii) functional/pathway enrichment analysis; (iii) biological networks analysis (artificial knockout, redundancy and lethality analysis, gene set essentiality); (iv) developing of ad-hoc software solutions/routines on clusters of CPUs and GPUs.

The correct cultural background (training in Biology / Computer Science / Statistics or a mix of the three) and a strong interest in working in high throughput data analysis will be considered at the same level of specific experience in the above-mentioned fields.

Knowledge of molecular modeling and simulation and willingness to learn one or more of these languages: python, perl, R, Java, C++, C# is a golden plus. Good knowledge of Scientific English will be positively evaluated for this position, together with good presentation and teamwork skills.

Candidates should send:
• a cover letter explaining the role they would like to undertake within the Center, even if it is not listed in this job adv, stating clearly why they would be a good fit to the proposed role, and what they would bring to the Center in terms of expertise, ideas, talent;
• a CV including a list of publications;
• List of referees.

A CV with one professional reference, details on educational background and of the biological and/or bioinformatic and/or data analysis skills and experience should be sent by email for a preliminary selection to: Tommaso Mazza t.mazza@css-mendel.it

Adv. No. URDIP/ 6/2014

Opportunity for young Bioinformatics Professionals to make a career in the area of Intellectual Property CSIR has set up a Unit for Research and Development of Information Products (CSIR-URDIP) at Pune to work in the area of scientific informatics. One of the major focus areas of research work at CSIR-URDIP is PATENT INFORMATICS. With the increasing applications of Bioinformatics in the areas of life sciences industry such as Agriculture and Health Care (Diagnostics and Drugs), the output of research in these area is being protected by different forms of Intellectual Property rights. Realizing the importance of IP in the Bioinformatics field, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has sanctioned a project on “Development, Facilitation and Harvesting of Bioinformatics related Intellectual Property” at CSIR-URDIP.

The project will involve application of Patent Informatics tools and techniques to Bioinformatics (including creation of patent landscapes, preparation of techno-legal reports of patentability, freedom to operate studies) to help protect IPRs and develop and conduct training programmes on IPRs related to Bioinformatics.

CSIR-URDIP invites applications from young Bioinformatics professionals to work on this emerging area which offers challenging opportunities and attractive career possibilities in future.

Common uses of the tool include:

• Displaying the sequence and/or genes in a GenBank flat file.
• Highlighting differences and/or similarities in gene content between related organisms.
• Comparing SNPs and indels between closely-related strains or serovars.
• Comparing gene expression values across multiple samples or timepoints.
• Visualizing coverage plots of RNA-Seq read alignments.

Key Features

Circleator...

• Builds on BioPerl and the input file formats that it supports, including:
  • GenBank flat files, GFF, FASTA
• Accepts a number of other commonly-used datatypes and file formats:
  • BSR and TRF output, SAM/BAM files, VCF-encoded SNPs, tab-delimited files
• Outputs publication-ready figures in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format.
• Requires only a single configuration file whose layout mirrors that of the figure itself.
  • Predefined configuration files and "track" types are supplied for common datasets.
  • Advanced features allow limited analyses to be performed as a figure is drawn.
• Includes an extensive set of regression tests.
• Offers a prototype web-based GUI (under the "Ringmaster" project.)
