Postdoctoral position - Bioinformatician

A bioinformatic postdoctoral position is available at the Unit of
Functional Genomics and Plant Molecular Imaging (Dr. Marc Hanikenne) of
the Centre For Protein Engineering (CIP, University of Liège, Belgium).
The position is opened to non-belgian residents for an initial period of
one year, with the possibility of an extension up to 2 years after
positive evaluation. The start date is April 1st 2013, but is opened for
discussion.

Context
In the course of evolution, plants adapted to widely differing metal
availabilities in soils. The Brassicaceae Arabidopsis halleri is a
so-called metal hyperaccumulator plant. A. halleri tolerates heavy
pollution of soils by zinc and cadmium and accumulates high zinc
concentrations in leaf biomass. Metal hyperaccumulators constitute
fascinating models to study adaptations to hostile environments, the
mechanisms of speciation and the evolution of naturally-selected complex
traits.

Job description
The Postdoc will be involved in the analysis of NGS data (RNA-Seq,
epigenome sequencing) aiming to determine the contribution of DNA
methylation in gene regulation and adaptation in A. halleri. The Postdoc
will also be in charge of setting-up and running the computational tools
necessary for data analyses.

Profile
We are seeking a candidate with a degree in Biology and/or Bioinformatics
with doctoral or postdoctoral experience in the analysis of NGS data.
Experience with the UNIX command shell is required. Programming skills
(perl, python and/or R) are a plus. The candidate should be fluent in
English, have good ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment and
have a demonstrable publication track record.

Contact
Please submit a cover letter, a full C.V., and the contact details (with
name, email, address, phone number) of at least 2 reference persons to
marc.hanikenne at ulg.ac.be.
