[SocBiN] Multiple bioinformatics and wet lab post-doc positions available in the Atkinson lab

[Gemma Atkinson]

Dear all, 

There are multiple bioinformatics post-doc positions available in my group to work on discovery and molecular evolution of microbial toxin-antitoxin systems, and/or antibiotic resistance factors. Read more about us here!  https://atkinson-lab.com/ <https://atkinson-lab.com/> 

Projects include:
Tool development for protein function prediction
Web server development for sequence analysis
Comparative genomics for prediction of novel toxin-antitoxin systems and antibiotic resistance factors, including epidemiological directions
Structural bioinformatics
Toxin-antitoxin network analysis
Phylogenetics and phylogenetic profiling, including for discovery of novel factors involved in ribosome quality control
Prediction of novel gene clusters for microbial interactions, antibiotic biosynthesis, attack and defence mechanisms
Sequence analysis of proteins involved in bacteria vs bacteriophage and bacteriophage vs bacteriophage interactions, with future directions in phage therapy and biotechnology

We also have positions available for those who like to pipette, working with the group of Vasili Hauryliuk http://www.mims.umu.se/groups/vasili-hauryliuk.html <http://www.mims.umu.se/groups/vasili-hauryliuk.html>

The Atkinson lab is in an exciting period of expansion, after recent generous awards from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and the Kempe Foundation. You can read more about our KAW project in Swedish here https://kaw.wallenberg.org/grundforskning-djupt-inne-i-bakteriernas-arvsmassa <https://kaw.wallenberg.org/grundforskning-djupt-inne-i-bakteriernas-arvsmassa>

Please send a CV and cover letter describing why you are interested in working in our team to gemma.atkinson at umu.se <mailto:gemma.atkinson at umu.se>, deadline 7th December.

Informal enquiries are very welcome!
