  <description><![CDATA[
<p>We are looking for a highly motivated researcher for an 18 month postdoctoral position collaborating in an exciting project on comparative genomics of marine fish and shellfish species. In the project, we use genome resequencing data from a range of species to reconstruct the demographic history and characterize genomic signals associated with population divergence and local adaptation in high gene flow scenarios. The work will improve our understanding of interacting evolutionary processes and provide valuable data for securing sustainable management and conservation of exploited resources. Applicants are encouraged to develop their own research ideas within this framework.</p>

<p>The fellowship is part of a larger Nordic collaborative project, MarGen_II, financed by the EU Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak Programme, the Danish Rod and Net License Funds and the National Institute of Aquatic Resources (DTU Aqua). The project will primarily be carried out in the population genetics group, Section for Marine Living Resources, situated in Silkeborg, Denmark. DTU Aqua is an institute at the Technical University of Denmark. In addition, the position offers many opportunities for collaborating with Nordic and other European colleagues in the field.</p>

<p>Application:<br />Apply online at<br />https://www.dtu.dk/english/About/JOB-and-CAREER/vacant-positions/job?id=d198fd80-4856-4a56-943d-485106026504.<br />The deadline is 4 January 2021. For further information, please contact<br />Senior Researcher Jakob Hemmer-Hansen, jhh@aqua.dtu.dk.</p>

<p>Protein function annotation and machine learning - UPMC - Paris, France</p>

<p>Job Description: We are interested in finding an excellent postdoc with interests in protein functional annotation, machine learning and computer grids. The position is open for 3.5 years at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, in the heart of paris.</p>

<p>Research topic: Protein function annotation, multiple probabilistic models, domain architecture, machine learning, combinatorial optimization, computer grid.</p>

<p>Title: A novel integrative platform for large scale protein annotation that exploits a multitude of diversified probabilistic models in several protein signature databases.</p>

<p>We propose a novel integrated approach for large scale protein annotation that will exploit an unprecedented amount of genomic data as well as sophisticated machine learning techniques and combinatorial optimization approaches taking advantages of High Performance Computing (HPC) environments. The idea is to uncover as much as possible the evolutionary processes of protein sequences that took place throughout the whole tree of life and that affected the evolution of a protein family. We have already demonstrated in a previous work that the problem of functional annotation is inherent to the ability of uncovering such paths. Now, we shall extend this approach to large scale genome annotation by considering 11 different protein databases, constituted by about 10^9 protein sequences, and by producing a large pool of diversified probabilistic models coding for about 10^7 evolutionary protein pathways. Such models will be used to search for specific domains in genomes to be annotated. Our previous methodology needs to be fundamentally improved to deal with this large amount of biological data. In this project, we shall work on the algorithms to reduce the space of models and the search complexity, and we shall implement some important algorithmic changes towards the realization of a powerful integrated annotation tool.</p>

<p>Where: This project is run on the Laboratoire de Biologie Computationnelle et Quantitative UMR7238 CNRS-UPMC – Analytical Genomics team, headed by A.Carbone. It is co-advised with Pierre-Henri Wuillemin, Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris 6 – Equipe DECISION.</p>

  <title><![CDATA[Two postdoc positions to study multiscale genome evolution and cephalopod gene regulation (University of Vienna, Austria)]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Vienna Biocenter are seeking two postdoctoral researchers to join our team and work on the ERC funded project "METASCALE: Modes of genome evolution during major metazoan transitions". The task of both positions will be to study co-evolutionary trends within animal genomes and their association with the emergence of new gene regulation. Our group employs methods of comparative and regulatory genomics to study the regulatory impact of transitions in animal genome architecture. More recently, we have identified a major genome reorganization in the "smart" coleoid cephalopod molluscs (squid, octopus, cuttlefish) that, together with other genomic changes, potentially comprises a unique path or mode of genome evolution among animals. We are thus interested in quantifying these modes of genome evolution across all available animal genomes and to test whether their shifts are associated with the emergence of novel regulation (e.g., in cephalopods). One of our main model species is the Hawaiian bobtail squid species Euprymna scolopes.  The tasks of the two candidates will be complimentary and highly collaborative with one position focusing on comparative genomics analyses across all metazoans and the other position on regulatory genomics in the squid. A solid background in in bioinformatics and comparative genomics is highly desired for the first position, whereas the second position will benefit from experience in molecular and regulatory genomics methods such as HiC, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq or single cell transcriptomics.</p>

<p>The postdocs will join an international group and network of researchers at the University of Vienna studying a diverse range of species and questions in molecular evolution, development, morphology and genomics. Our group is also part of the large evolVienna network of more than 50 evolutionary biology labs in Vienna, across several universities and research institutes. Our Faculty will be relocating to a new campus at the Vienna Biocenter in summer 2021 (https://biologiezentrum.univie.ac.at/en/). Vienna is a vibrant historic European capital with a high QOL. Information about postdoctoral salaries in Austria can be found on this webpage: https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/personnel-costs/</p>

<p>Earliest start date will be after July 2021. Initial term of employment is for two years with the possibility of extension. Remote working, at least initially, is a possibility.</p>

<p>Requirements:<br />- PhD degree or equivalent by the start date <br />- Publishing record in peer-reviewed journals or evidence thereof <br />- At least 2 letters of support</p>

<p>Applications including a letter of motivation should be submitted via the Job Center to the University of Vienna (https://personalwesen.univie.ac.at/en/jobs-recruiting/job-center/,<br />job reference number 11615).</p>

<p>Application deadline: January 15th 2021.<br />Application link: https://univis.univie.ac.at/ebewerbung</p>
