[SocBiN] Fwd: Recruiting Postdocs and Graduate Students

[Lars Juhl Jensen]

Postdocs and Graduate Students in Computational Biology

The Friedberg Lab http://iddo-friedberg.net is recruiting postdoctoral
fellows and graduate students to several newly funded projects. The
lab is relocating to Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa as part of a
university-wide Big Data initiative. Iowa State is a large research
university with world-leading computational resources, and a strong
highly collaborative community of bioengineering, bioinformaticians,
and life science researchers.

The successful candidates will be joining the lab at the College of
Veterinary Medicine, Department of Veterinary Microbiology. Areas of
interest include: bacterial genome evolution, gene and protein
function prediction, microbial genome mining, animal and human
microbiome, and biological database analysis.

These are bioinformatics positions, and the successful applicants
would be required to perform research employing computational biology
skills. The Friedberg lab is a computational biology lab equipped with
high-end cluster computers and bioinformatics support.

Requirements for postdocs: A PhD in microbiology, bioinformatics, or a
related field. A strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
Strong programming skills; strong oral and written communication
skills in English; Strong domain knowledge of molecular biology.
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.

Graduate students: we are looking for independent, hard-working
problem-solving, energetic and motivated scientist-to-be. You have
graduated or are about to graduate in computer science and/or biology
or related fields. The Friedberg Lab is a "dry" lab, so some
programming skills are required.

Ames, Iowa is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in
the US, and has received numerous awards for being a progressive,
innovative and exciting community with high affordability and high
quality of life.

Candidates should send a C.V. and statement of interest as one PDF
document, and have three letters of reference sent independently by
their authors to Dr. Iddo Friedberg at Friedberg.Lab.Jobs "at" gmail
dot com. Screening of applications begins immediately and will
continue until the positions are filled. The positions are expected to
start on or after June 2015. Graduate students are encouraged to apply
via Iowa State University's BCB program: http://www.bcb.iastate.edu/
However, other programs may be applicable.

All offers of employment, oral and written, are contingent upon the
university's verification of credentials and other information
required by federal and state law, ISU policies/procedures, and may
include the completion of a background check. Iowa State University is
an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. All qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to
race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity,
genetic information, national origin, marital status, disability, or
protected veteran status, and will not be discriminated against.
Inquiries can be directed to the Director of Equal Opportunity, 3350
