Postdoctoral position in computational biology (Bayesian genomic rearrangements)

 
 
 
 
Institution/Company: 
INRIA Lille - University Lille
Location: 
A postdoctoral position is available within the BONSAI team, a bioinformatics research group between INRIA Lille - Nord Europe and LIFL (UMR 8022 CNRS, University Lille) in France.
- Duration : 12 months
- Starting date : between June 2013 and October 2013
Description
The position is funded by a Nord-Pas-de-Calais region grant for a scientific project on the application of Bayesian models and Markov chains Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling techniques to the analysis of genomic rearrangements.
The successful candidate will work on exploring and developing new Bayesian probabilistic models for the analysis of genome rearrangements based the evolution of genomic breakpoints.
Application
The ideal candidate should hold:
- either a PhD in Probability and Statistics with a taste for applications in bioinformatics,
- or a PhD in Computer Science / Computational Biology with an expertise in Probability and Statistics.
If the Ph.D. thesis is not yet defended, the candidate should provide the planned defense date.
Before applying, candidates should email their detailed CV with a list of publications, and a short description of their current research interests and future research plans to [email protected] .
