BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC IN EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS

Roscoff Marine Station, France

A postdoctoral position (1 year with possible renewal for 3 years) is available immediately in the Algal Genetics group at the Roscoff Marine Station, Brittany, France ( [ http://www.sb-roscoff.fr/en/team-algal-genetics | http://www.sb-roscoff.fr/en/team-algal-genetics ] ).

We are seeking highly qualified and enthusiastic applicants with strong skills in computational biology/bioinformatics, ideally also with experience in data mining and comparative or evolutionary genome analyses.

We have been interested in a range of topics related to the evolution of sexual reproduction across the brown algal group. In the framework of our research, and together with collaborators at Genoscope (Paris) we have generated full genomes of 48 lines of brown algae and comprehensive sets of RNA-seq data for a range of life cycle stages from representatives of all major brown algal lineages and evolutionary outgroups. We perform integrated analyses to study the evolution of brown algal genomes across lineages, life cycle stages, chromosomes and sexes.

The postdoctoral fellow will be funded by an awarded ERC Starting Grant (SEXSEA) and perform integrated evolutionary/bioinformatics analyses based on data produced in our lab and available genomic data. The project will focus on analyses of the ‘omics’ datasets generated in the framework of the ERC Grant and Phaeoexplorer (France Genomique), including high quality genomes, HiC datasets, genetic maps, transcriptomes, etc. More precisely the postdoc will use bioinformatics and comparative evolutionary genomic approaches to identify sex chromosomes and investigate their evolution.

The language of the institute is English and its members form a highly international group. The Roscoff Marine Station is located in Britany at the sea Front, and Roscoff is a picturesque city close to Brest, 3h away from Paris.

Please submit a CV, statement of research interest, and names of three references to: Susana Coelho ( [ mailto:Coelho@sb-roscoff.fr | Coelho@sb-roscoff.fr ] ).

We are always interested in applications from highly qualified and motivated bioinformatics postdocs, experimental (genomics/molecular/ developmental biology) postdocs and bioinformatics PhD students. Please send applications and other requests to Susana Coelho ( [ mailto:Coelho@sb-roscoff.fr%29 | Coelho@sb-roscoff.fr) ] .
