Bioinformatician are not anti-social; We are just genome friendly.

Bioinformatician would love to change the biological world, but they won't give us the genetic code :P

If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0

The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty: it's actually have several genomes.

I'm BioGeek.

Fedup with LIPS, try God script.

Idiot, Go ahead, make my data!

Thank god, my genome just compiled.

Error message: "Out of space on genome drive:"

Shut up mobile elements, or i'll flush you out.

Never underestimate the internet bandwidth, u gotta incomplete.

Applied fuzzy logic to understand God's logic?

Warning! Overflow, delete chromosome !

Be nice to the BioGeek, for all you know they might be the next curator!

Beware of computational biologist they screw genes and protein.

Warning! Your genome is full of garbage, delete it !

Bad or missing mouse genome. Spank the cat? (Y/N)

Genome make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Let's BLAST it.

Some genome never has transposons. It just develops random features.

Go watch CINEMA and have BLAST.

Registration of active participants will be open from February, 27 12 PM CET to April 17, 23:59 CET. In registration forms you will be asked for providing us with some basic information about yourself. You will also be able to submit your abstract. You can save your registration form after filling it partially and come back later to supply more data e.g. upload an abstract. Your registration will be completed only with the payment of the registration fee reaching our accounts - please make sure to transfer the money in advance!

Registration of passive participants will be open after closing of registration of active participants.

The Job detail

Advancing the SNP-discovery and polymorphism assessment work across several germplasm panels representing global genetic diversity
Population genetic and genomic analyses, testing the hypothesis related to adaptation in multiple geographic regions
Develop SNP assays from large scale GBS and other re-sequencing data for several target traits utilizing available phenotyping data
Combined analyses of genotypic and phenotypic data for discovery of marker-trait associations, and conducting GWAS
Processing, analyzing, and archiving large-scale genomic data sets, assessing data quality, conducting analyses, interpreting findings, and communicating findings to others including preparation of reports, presentations, posters and journal articles
Providing support to MSc and PhD students on topic related to its major core of research
Any other work assigned by the supervisor

The Person:

PhD in bioinformatics, genetics, computational biology preferably with 1 to 2 years of experience;
familiar with standard bioinformatics tools and scripting languages and emerging and evolving software platforms relevant to bioinformatics and computational biology;
ability to create new analytical pipelines; experience with handling large data sets;
ability to program in at least two of the following: C++, PERL, Python, R, Java.
will use next-generation sequencing technologies to generate marker data for genetic mapping and transcriptome data for expression QTL mapping, and will be responsible for data generation as well as data analysis.

Period and Remuneration: The assignment is for a period of two years, and can be extended for another year depending on performance. ICRISAT pays a very attractive all inclusive lump sum assignment fee payable in Indian Rupees.

How to Apply: Please send your application by email to icrisatjobs@cgiar.org, stating the job title (Special project Scientist-Sorghum Genomics) clearly in the subject column, addressed to the Director, Human Resources and Operations, ICRISAT, Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh 502 324, India, latest by 10 June 2014.
