Begin forwarded message: From: Marie-France Sagot <Marie-France.Sagot@inria.fr> (by way of Jean- Paul Doignon) Date: September 16, 2008 2:03:01 PM GMT+02:00 To: Anthony Labarre <alabarre@ulb.ac.be>, mlabbe@ulb.ac.be, Patrick Mardulyn <pmarduly@ulb.ac.be>, Jacques.Van.Helden@ulb.ac.be Subject: Postdoc Position in Lyon (apologies for previous message with subject missing) Dear all, Please, could you distribute around the call for a postdoc position below? Many thanks! kind regards, marie-france --- The main objective of the postdoc is to develop co-cladogenesis inference methods in order to better understand how tight is the association between symbionts, more specifically endosymbionts, and their hosts. Some of the questions we wish to address are, how often are symbionts horizontally transferred to other branches of the host phylogenetic tree, how long do parasites persist inside their host following the invasion of a new lineage, and what processes underlie this dynamic gain/loss equilibrium? To address the questions stated above using sequence data, island arthropod communities, namely from Huahine, Raiatea, Moorea and Tahiti in French Polynesia, will be examined as these allow to establish recent patterns of loss and gain of infections. This work will be conducted in the BAOBAB-BAMBOO teams of, resp., the Lab. de Biometrie et Biologie Evolutive (Univ. Lyon 1), and of the INRIA, France, in very close collaboration with the "Evolutionary genetic of host-parasite interactions" team at the LBBE, more particularly with Sylvain Charlat (CR1, CNRS) and a co-supervised PhD student. The postdoc is part of a vaster ANR-Blanc project on the combinatorial exploration of the molecular landscape and evolution of intimate species relations. The position is for one year renewable once and must start no later than December 2008. The candidate is expected to have a solid training in mathematics (combinatorics, possibly also statistics) and either an initial background or strong interest in biology. He/she should also enjoy team-work. Atypical profiles are welcome. For further enquiries, please contact Marie-France Sagot (email: Marie-France.Sagot@inria.fr), ideally before Oct. 15, 2008, with a CV, the names of three references who may be contacted for further information and an informal letter explaining your motivation for this position/work.
Cancer Research Program Peter Wills Bioinformatics Centre Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Sydney The Garvan Institute's Cancer Research Program and Peter Wills Bioinformatics Centre is looking to fill the position of a Cancer Senior Bioinformatics & Statistics Research Officer. The Garvan Institute is actively engaged in medical research into major human diseases involving molecular, cellular, genetic, epigenetic and clinical research. The Cancer Research Program is an integrated series of strongly interactive Research Groups undertaking research aimed at increasing the international knowledge base on the development, progression, treatment and prevention of human cancers. The Peter Wills Bioinformatics Centre (PWBC) at the Garvan Institute collaborates with researchers in a wide range of bioinformatics areas including analysis and housing of microarray data, structural bioinformatics and clinical data management. Role: The role offers an exciting opportunity to work alongside bioinformaticians in the PWBC and experimental scientists in the Garvan's Cancer Research Program. Funded by the NSW Cancer Institute the primary role of the Senior Bioinformatics & Statistics Research Officer will be to assist in the experimental design and analysis of array experiments and clinical trial data. In particular analysis of gene expression and DNA methylation patterns in clinical samples is required. Candidates will have a strong background in multi-univariate and Bayesian statistics, and some experience in machine-learning techniques. Knowledge of the R programming language and experience with BioConductor is desirable. The successful applicant will also be given freedom and encouragement to further develop statistical techniques for data analysis. Remuneration: The position is available from October 2008. It is a full-time fixed term appointment for one year in the first instance with renewal subject to funding and performance. The remuneration package will be in the range of $65-80 per annum, which includes employer superannuation contributions of 14%.
