Dear All, I pass on below an opening for a post-doc position at EMBL in Heidelberg Best wishes, Aidan The Patil group at the EMBL in Heidelberg uses a combination of modelling, bioinformatics, and experimental approaches to study metabolic networks and how they are controlled. This project aims at integrating genomics and transcriptomics datasets from various CHO cell lines to build genome-scale models for use in computer-aided design of CHO cell factories. The project will also involve development of bioinformatics resources and databases for the international CHO cell community. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the group of Nicole Borth from the Austrian Centre for Industrial Biotechnology. The project provides a unique opportunity for candidates who wish to apply their bioinformatics skills to biological problems of industrial importance. The candidate should have a PhD degree in computational biology/systems biology/computer science. Experience in more than one programming/scripting languages (C++, Perl, Python etc.) is a must. Familiarity with database management and web development will be an added advantage. The successful candidate will be highly motivated and have excellent scientific skills. S/he should have good communication skills in English and an open, proactive personality to work in a team of young international researchers. Start date: January 2014 (flexible). Project duration: 2 years (+ 2 year extension possibility) Contact Please send your application (Cover letter and CV as pdf files) by email to patil@embl.de
