[Nathalie Reuter]

***PhD position. Structural bioinformatics analysis of bioprospection 
sequence data. University of Bergen.

A PhD position is opened at the Computational Biology Unit (Reuter 
group[1]) at the University of Bergen (Norway). The PhD project will 
consist in the prediction and analysis of folds and structures of 
proteins identified in a marine bioprospection initiative. The goal of 
the project is, together with the Center for Excellence in 
Geobiology[2], to identify and characterize proteins relevant for a 
number of identified industrial applications. The successful candidate 
has a strong background in bioinformatics, preferably demonstrated by a 
master’s degree in the field. Candidate with masters in other fields 
will be considered only if they can demonstrate solid programming 
skills, as well as background in bioinformatics and structural biology.

The place of work will be the Computational Biology Unit, where the 
Reuter group is located (currently 3 PhD students and 2 postdocs). The 
PhD grant will be given for four years, with 25% teaching duty towards 
the Department of Informatics to which the PhD candidate will be 
affiliated.
