Post-Doctoral Research Position in Bioinformatics available in the Emanuelsson
lab at SciLifeLab, Stockholm (Sweden)
A post-doctoral position is available at Science for Life Laboratory
(SciLifeLab) in Stockholm. This is a unique opportunity to join SciLifeLab, a
Swedish national resource center for large-scale biological, biotechnological,
and medical research. SciLifeLab is a joint enterprise formed by the
Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm University, Uppsala University, and KTH Royal
Institute of Technology.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented postdoctoral researcher to
join the lab of Associate Professor Olof Emanuelsson, affiliated with the
School of Biotechnology at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.
Work description: The work will consist of bioinformatics method development
for massively parallel sequencing data, with particular focus on RNA-seq,
including allele-specific expression (ASE) and transcriptome assembly. The
proposed project is a continuation of our recently published work (Edsgärd et
al, Sci. Rep. 6:21134, 2016), with a number of possible subprojects, e.g.,
phasing of RNA-seq reads including the use of longer reads, improvement of ASE
detection (with and without haploisoform information), and identification of
potential regulatory variants associated with ASE of nearby genes.
Requirements: The successful candidate will have a PhD (or equivalent) in
computer science, mathematics, physics, bioinformatics, molecular biology or
related field with a strong quantitative background. Thorough experience with
Unix (or a variant thereof), R, scripting software (e.g., Perl or Python) or
other programming languages such as C or Java is required. Experience with
handling large data sets, and from bioinformatics method development, is
highly desired. The ability to work both independently and collaboratively is
highly valued. Excellent command of written and spoken English is a requirement.
Type of position: This is a salaried post-doctoral position for one year with
a possible second-year extension. The postdoctoral researcher will be employed
by KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the workplace is SciLifeLab Stockholm.
Application instructions: To apply, please send an email to Olof Emanuelsson,
olofem at kth.se. Please use the exact subject line Postdoctoral application
2016 and include the following documents (preferably combined into one single
pdf):
(i) a letter stating your research experience and interests
(ii) a curriculum vitae including list of publications
(iii) name and contact information for yourself and two or three references
Review of applications will start on 30 August 2016 and continue until the
position is filled. The starting date is negotiable, however, the successful
candidate will be encouraged to start as soon as possible. We welcome all
applicants regardless of ethnicity or gender. For more information, see
https://www.scilifelab.se/researchers/olof-emanuelsson/ or send an email with
the exact subject line Postdoctoral application 2016 inquiry.
