[BBC] Postdoc position on genotyping complex genomes at the Schneeberger Lab

[Raúl Wijfjes]

Dear all,

We are looking for an open-minded and enthusiastic bioinformatics 
postdoc candidate for a three year project on developing computational 
methods for the analysis of complex genomes. The project will follow up 
on a recently developed method of the group that assembles individual 
haplotypes of tetraploid genomes using a combination of bulk long-read 
and single gamete genome sequencing (Sun /et al., /2021, bioRxiv, 
https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.15.444292). The candidate will develop 
computational methods to genotype samples based on individual haplotypes 
of any genome and apply these methods to analyze the inheritance of such 
haplotypes in recombinant pollen genomes of potato cultivars. It is 
expected that the haplotype-based genotyping methods developed in this 
project will be applicable beyond the field of plant genomics (e.g. 
human genomics).

Applicants should hold a PhD degree in bioinformatics or a similar field 
in computational biology. We are specifically searching for a candidate 
with strong programming skills (Java, C++, Python), experience in the 
analysis of high-throughput sequencing data, and the ability to make use 
of high-performance computational clusters. Good oral and writing skills 
in English are a must. The Schneeberger group is located at the Faculty 
of Biology of the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, with a part 
of the group working at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Plant 
Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany. The candidate for this project 
will be based at the MPI in Cologne. Please find the attached PDF for 
additional details about the position and how to apply.

Kind regards,

Raúl Wijfjes
Schneeberger Group, Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Germany
