[BBC] Vacancy: The Netherlands Institute of Ecology is looking for a bioinformatician

[Mattias de Hollander]

The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) offers the position of:


      *Bio-informatician *

The bioinformatician has a general task to give support to researchers 
in each of the four NIOO-KNAW research departments. Sequencing projects 
are very diverse, ranging from bacteria and fungi to plants, insects, 
birds and genetic material recovered directly from soil or other 
environmental samples. The bioinformatician’s task involves close 
interaction with researchers and with ICT staff. Work is aimed at 
facilitating researchers to perform their bioinformatics analyses, both 
for sequencing-based and other data-rich research. This includes 
tutoring and help with data management, building in-house bioinformatic 
pipelines and facilitating downstream analyses.

The ideal candidate has an academic background, excellent communication 
skills in English, several years of experience with high-throughput 
sequencing data, a strong motivation and social skills to support a 
broad range of different projects, a good network of contacts in the 
bioinformatics community, and a flexible and cooperative attitude.
