[SocBiN] Available Phd Position in RNA Bioinformatics at the RTH Center

[Betina Wingreen Jensen]

Dear Colleague,

The RTH center in Copenhagen is inviting applications for a PhD position in
Bioinformatics, and we are looking for a person to join our team from
September, or soon thereafter. The position is for three years. Application
deadline is 25th August 2013. For more information about the RTH center

Please pass the mail on to qualified students or people you think could be
otherwise interested.

Background:

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been established as a highly abundant class of
genes which play numerous important roles in the cell and in disease. These
ncRNAs often contain RNA structure either for the entire sequence or
sometimes as minor "domains". In RTH we have developed a range of
computational tools for the analysis of both structured RNAs and
high-throughput data.

Job description:

Within RTH material has been collected for a range of diseases and will be
combined with in silico generated information of structured RNA and a range
of information such as expression and (protein and RNA) binding generated
from predictions and experiments. A key goal of the project is to filter and
rank selected candidates for detailed molecular functional analysis with
respect to the disease samples. Pipelines for expression analysis, data
integration and statistical analysis will be developed within the project.

Qualification and requirements:

The applicant should hold professional as well as personal skills and
qualifications as stated below:

.         A master degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer
science or similar.

.         Very strong experience with script languages such as Perl or
Python (or similar).

.         Strong experience with the linux/unix environment, command lines
and shell scripting.

.         Experience with statistical analysis.

.         Differential expression analysis (with background correction /
multiple testing).

.         Possess good interpersonal skills.

.         Be excellent in English, writing and speech.

In addition to the above, weight will be given to applicants meeting one or
more of the following requirements:

.         General knowledge about RNA structure folding algorithms.

.         C or C++.

With best wishes,
