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.

planned starting date for the position is flexible (but in 2021).

The fate of a cell is ultimately the product of the regulation of its genes. Gene regulation is a coordinated process acting at multiple levels of which transcription and translation are the most prominent. The Valen group is dedicated to the fundamental question of how transcription and translation is integrated to obtain the desired protein abundance. The recent development of high-throughput next generation sequencing techniques to monitor both active translation and transcription has made it possible to study this connection at the genome scale.

This project aims to elucidate the links between regulation of translation and transcription. The applicant will analyze next generation sequencing data and model gene regulation on a genome-wide level to identify the features that affect the translational output of transcripts. The work will be done in close collaboration with experimental scientists who will test the predictions of the computational models.

Additional information on the position can be obtained by contacting Eivind Valen (eivind.valen@ii.uib.no).

The research fellow must take part in the University’s approved PhD program leading to the degree within a time limit of 3 years. Application for admission to the PhD program, including a project plan outline for the training module, will be worked out in collaboration with the research group in question.

In total, the fellowship period is 4 years, 25 % of this will be allocated to teaching and/or administrative duties. The fellowship period may be reduced if the successful applicant has held previous employment as a research fellow or similar.

The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It uses Docker/Singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible. The Nextflow DSL2 implementation of this pipeline uses one container per process which makes it much easier to maintain and update software dependencies.
