The position is initially limited to 1-year and after evaluation can be extended. The research group environment. We take an integrative approach to the study of evolutionary processes applying a large range of methodology ranging from field work to population genetic modeling of large genome-scale data sets to functional characterization at the single cell level. One of the main questions in the group is to understand the micro-evolutionary processes and genetic mechanisms underlying species divergence. In addition, we engage in comparative approaches to study genome evolution across larger timescales. Empirical systems currently include birds (swallows and corvids), marine mammals (pinnipeds and killer whales), the European hemiclonal water frog system, and experimental evolution in fission yeast. Find below a selection of recent publications illustrating recent research activities or consult the current lab website (http://www.ieg.uu.se/evolutionary-biology/wolf/). The position. The successful applicant will be responsible for management of large transcriptome and genome sequencing data sets, help with administration and compilation of source code, and for the most part, will engage actively in ongoing research projects. The applicant is expected to be familiar with UNIX environments and has experience in standard bioinformatic approaches using high throughput DNA and RNA sequencing data from platforms such as Illumina or Pacific Biosciences. Common tasks will involve data management, genome assembly and annotation (Birds ca. 1.2 Gb, marine mammals: ca. 3Gb), multiple sequence alignments, short-read mapping and genotyping. Proficiency in relevant programming languages (e.g. awk, bash, Perl, Python, C) is naturally assumed. A background in population genomics or comparative genomics is a clear asset. Depending on the applicant’s background there will be some autonomy in that he or she can develop own research questions or participate in teaching activities. The environment. The Evolutionary Biology Centre (http://www.ebc.uu.se/) is one of the world’s leading research institutions in evolutionary biology. It is part of Uppsala University which is considered one of Europe’s leading universities in the subject of biology bridging a broad variety of disciplines. The scientific environment with numerous seminars, journal clubs and social activities offer excellent possibilities for contacts and collaborations. Our lab is part of the Department of Evolutionary Biology (http://www.ieg.uu.se/evolutionary-biology/?languageId=1/), an active environment addressing fundamental evolutionary questions with a wide range of different approaches. As a member of the Science for Life Laboratory (http://www.scilifelab.se/) we make extensive use of high performance computing resources (https://www.uppmax.uu.se/uppnex) and extended bioinformatic infrastructure (http://www.scilifelab.se/platforms/bioinformatics/). We also actively interact with research groups of the nearby BioMedicalCentre (http://www.imbim.uu.se/Research). The lab is situated in the student town of Uppsala that offers rich opportunities in cultural and outdoor activities. Sweden's capital Stockholm is less than an hour's train ride away. By the end of 2016 the research group will transition to the Department of Evolutionary Biology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich, Germany. Munich University is consistently ranked among the top Universities worldwide, in particular the life science branch with its newly inaugurated campus offering excellent technical facilities and many interaction possibilities including the gene center, several Max-Planck-Institutes and the Helmholtz Centre (http://www.campusmartinsried.de/en/336-2/#). With the highest concentration of supercomputing in Germany the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre and its local partners provide access to state-of-the art computing facilities (https://www.lrz.de/english/). Munich is Bavaria’s capital, a vibrant, yet relaxed city with many traditions still alive considered by many to have a high quality of living (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercer_Quality_of_Living_Survey) and the Alps nearby. How to apply. Applicants with a proven record with and without a PhD degree are encouraged to apply. Applications including a statement of motivation including relevant expertise, a CV and the contact details of at least two references should be sent as a single .pdf file to jochen.wolf at ebc.uu.se subject term ‘bioinformatics position’. The position remains open until filled; start date and transition modalities from Sweden to Germany are flexible and subject to negotiation. Recent publications reflecting our research interests.

Salmon farming is a big industry in Norway and ripe for systems biology applications thanks to the recent sequencing of the salmon genome. The project “Towards the Digital Salmon: From a reactive to a pre-emptive research strategy in aquaculture (DigiSal )” is part of Digital Life Norway , the first call dedicated to systems biology by the Research Council of Norway. DigiSal will promote sustainable growth of salmon farming by building model-based knowledge about how salmon responds to novel sustainable feed ingredients. This project combines nutritional expertise, cutting-edge salmon genomics, high-throughput omics technologies and model-based analysis of omics data. The successful candidate will work within the Centre for Integrative Genetics (CIGENE ), which includes comprehensive molecular lab facilities and a strong environment dedicated to bioinformatics and mathematical modeling. Main tasks: Analyze how salmon metabolism depends on variation in diet and genotype, based on omics and microscopy data and using a variety of modelling frameworks, both top-down multivariate analysis and bottom-up metabolic network modelling. The successful applicant will be part of a highly inter-disciplinary group, with possibilities for visits to collaborators in the Systems and Synthetic Biology unit in Wageningen, the Netherlands. The researcher will work closely with a dedicated systems biology informatics manager to ensure findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable data and models.
