job description

SciLifeLab Uppsala: Science for Life Laboratory Uppsala is a center that joins together a group of prominent researchers from Uppsala University with the vision to become an internationally leading center that develops, applies, and provides access to large-scale technologies for molecular biosciences with a focus on translational medicine and on evolutionary and systems biology. The center is composed of three technology platforms in genomics, proteomics and comparative genetics and two research programs in evolutionary and medical biology.

Duties: The candidate will work with bioinformatics in a joint research environment of SciLifeLab and IMBIM. The candidate will join a computational biology group that was just recently started. The focus of this group is to provide answers to fundamental biological questions through the development of complex algorithms that analyze large amounts of DNA and RNA data, in close collaboration with other groups at SciLifeLab as well as with other national and international collaborators. The position may also include teaching at all levels and supervision of masters- and graduate students.

Qualifications required: To be eligible for this position, the applicant must hold a Ph.D degree. The ideal candidate will have a solid engineering background (physics, informatics, electrical engineering, mathematics, or related field), coupled with strong interest in biological sciences, in particular the analysis of large genomic and transcriptomic data sets. Applicants must have received their Ph.D within the past 3 years from the application deadline.
Experience in computational biology is a plus, but not a must. The candidate should be proficient in one or more programming languages (C++, Java) and have experience in software development involving complex algorithms. Excellent communication skills are required, since the candidate will collaborate with scientists of very different backgrounds. Excellent spoken and written English required.
