  <title><![CDATA[Post-Doc Positions at the Institute of Evolution, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>We are looking for independent, motivated, diligent, laborious, dedicated Bioinformaticians as post-doctorate fellows for a project aimed at revealing the mechanisms of cancer-resistance and anti-cancer activity of the hypoxia-tolerant subterranean, blind mole-rat, Spalax along its underground evolutionary adaptations. Our project has captured the interest of the scientific community and we have ample financial support for the studies. Generous fellowships ($30K to $40K according to qualifications and performance) are available, immediately, for Post-Docs experts in bioinformatics with a background of good understanding biological questions. That is that can independently handle raw output data of RNA-seq / miR seq/ Genomic, analyze it and can interpret intelligently the relevant biological background. Outstanding candidates for PhD experienced in Bioinformatics will also be considered. Familiarity with cancer research is an advantage. Experience of writing manuscripts for publication and a publication record in relevant journals are expected. English skills both oral and written are required. American, Western-European or Israeli education is a significant benefit. </p>

<p>Our present objectives is to identify and isolate the substances secreted by Spalax cells, resolve with which components they interact that are active only on cancer cells, in order to unravel the biological mechanisms and pathways that evolved in Spalax cell machinery and ultimately lead to the death of cancer-cells. The study could attest to be a breakthrough in cancer research, using the long lived, hypoxia- and cancer-tolerant Spalax as a significant biological resource for biomedical research that hopefully could open new horizons in treatment and prevention of cancer in humans. </p>

<p>Contact: The applications should be submitted, together with extended CV and bibliography, summary of past accomplishments, and contact information of 3 referees, to Prof of Research Aaron Avivi (aaron@research.haifa.ac.il) AND Dr. Imad Shams (imadshams@gmail.com). (http://bit.ly/1lywShk) aaron@research.haifa.ac.il </p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>EAGLER is a scaffolding tool for long reads. The scaffolder takes as input a draft genome created by any NGS assembler and a set of long reads. The long reads are used to extend the contigs present in the NGS draft and possibly join overlapping contigs. EAGLER supports both PacBio and Oxford Nanopore reads.</p>
<p>The tool should be compatible with most UNIX flavors and has been successfully tested on the following operating systems:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mac OS X 10.11.1</li>
<li>Mac OS X 10.10.3</li>
<li>Ubuntu 14.04 LTS</li>

<p>Ageing has a profound impact on human society and modern medicine, yet it remains a major puzzle of biology. The goal of my work is to help understand the genetic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of ageing. In the long term, I would like my work to help ameliorate age-related diseases and preserve health. No other biomedical field has so much potential to improve human health as research on the basic mechanisms of ageing. Please see our lab website for further details about our work and publications. </p>
