The position is open for immediate appointment and available for two years and then extendable for additional one year. The applicant will be appointed as Research Associate based on qualifications as detailed below:

Research Associate:

-Master’s degree with bioinformatics with at least 2 years of research experience in Next Generation sequencing data analysis as evidence from Fellowship/ Associateship / Training / other engagements.

-Familiarity with bioinformatics tools, database development, programming skills

-Minimum 1 publication in any peer reviewed journal

Salary will be as per ICAR rules and guidelines. Application will be shortlisted based on CV, reference letters from mentors and telephonic interview. Candidates will be called for a personal interview at Bangalore before appointment. No travel expense will be provided for attending interview at Bangalore.

Interested candidates may send a Letter of Interest and CV by email to: keshav@ibioinformatics.org before September 29, 2015.

Working with other members of the TNDRG you will analyse complex genomic and epidemiological datasets, evaluating which computational tools are most suitable. You will contribute to the generation of innovative tools for linking epidemiological and multilevel omics datasets, ensuring that computer programs are written in a form that other collaborators can use and expand.

You will have or be close to completion of a PhD in either: bioinformatics; neuroscience; machine learning; statistics; epidemiology; neurology; or other relevant field. You will have experience programming on either R, Matlab, Python, C++, Java or any other imperative, object oriented or functional language.

Please direct Informal enquiries to Dr Alejo Nevado-Holgado (alejo.nevado-holgado@psych.ox.ac.uk).

You will be required to upload a supporting statement explaining how you meet the selection criteria for the post, a CV, and details of two referees as part of your online application.

The BioComputing UP Laboratory, headed by Prof. Silvio Tosatto, is a dynamic group of a dozen people working on several aspects of prediction of protein structure & function employing techniques at the intersection between biology, medicine, chemistry, physics & computer science.
Our aim is to integrate the development of novel methods and their application to biologically relevant problems.

We are looking for candidates with a solid Bioinformatics background, programming experience (Python, C++ and/or Java) and good knowledge of molecular biology (protein structure/function). Good knowledge of statistics as well as experience in using database systems (MongoDB, MySQL and/or Postgres) is desirable. Candidates should have a degree with top marks, optionally hold a PhD, and be highly motivated to work on interdisciplinary research. Good knowledge of English, an open-minded spirit, being collaborative and creative are crucial.

The fellowship, which should start as soon as possible, is renewable and initially for one year. It will be commensurate to experience, can be extended depending on performance and may lead to a PhD degree. The successful candidate will be working full-time at the BioComputing UP Laboratory, University of Padova. Travel support for conferences and/or research visits abroad is provided.
To apply, please send your CV, with a motivation letter and brief description of your research background as well as the names of two (or more) references to: biocomp@bio.unipd.it.

Start date: As soon as possible

Duration: 1 year, renewable

Salary on grant: Commesurate to experience
