[Socbin] Post-Doc opportunity: Genome Assembly at SciLifeLab, Stockholm

[Lars Arvestad]

Post-Doc opportunity: Genome Assembly at SciLifeLab, Stockholm

A postdoctoral position is available at Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) in Stockholm under supervision of Lars Arvestad and Joakim Lundeberg. The position concerns projects in genome assembly that address both practical and theoretical issues appearing in large genome projects. The candidate is expected to participate in local and external collaborations. There will be great opportunities to interact with other bioinformatics teams, as well as wet lab experimentalists located at SciLifeLab, and to engage in other established collaborations.

The successful candidate will have a PhD (or equivalent) in statistics, computer science, bioinformatics or related field. Experience with Unix and computer programming is required and experience with genome analysis is desired.


About Science for Life Laboratory

SciLifeLab is a national resource center dedicated to large-scale bioscientific research with focus on biomedicine, including genome and proteome profiling, bioimaging and bioinformatics. SciLifeLab Stockholm has been formed jointly by the three Stockholm universities, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Karolinska Institutet (KI) and Stockholm University (SU), and thus combines the profiles and strengths of these three institutions. Academic research as well as the Swedish health care system and the Swedish Life Science industry will benefit through active collaboration, access to advanced tools and active programs for knowledge transfer. The goal is to achieve critical mass for large-scale life sciences and translational medicine.

Our vision is to make SciLifeLab into a center for large-scale life sciences with an advanced technological infrastructure. The focus is on performing multidisciplinary research involving high throughput DNA sequencing, analysis of gene expression, protein profiling, cellular profiling, advanced bioinformatics, biostatistics and systems biology. SciLifeLab is aimed at enabling researchers to carry out extensive and comprehensive analysis of genes, transcripts and proteins in humans and relevant microbes, such as viruses and bacteria, and to cast light on the complex interplay between different molecular components in living cells, tissues and organs related to human diseases.
