[BioC] Ph.D Positions in Bioinformatics at Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria

[Birgit Hauer]

Ph.D Positions in Bioinformatics

Two PhD positions in bioinformatics are immediately available at the 
newly founded Institute for Bioinformatics at the Johannes Kepler 
University (JKU) Linz, Austria. Both positions include teaching 
responsibilities (possible in English), are initially for 2 years, and 
can be extended to additional 4 years.

The JKU supplies a perfect environment for bioinformatics research with 
its strong biophysics and biochemical groups. The research activities in 
bioinformatics are currently promoted by the Upper Austrian government 
in its strategic program for future investments in science and 
technology. The city of Linz, located in the beautiful alpine uplands, 
is a nice place to live between Salzburg and Vienna (both cities are 
reachable by an approximately 1,5 hours train trip).

The bioinformatics group's research interests currently include, among 
others, the analysis of microarray and SNP data, protein 3D structure 
prediction, protein classification, sequence analysis and motif 
extraction, and molecular dynamics.

The ideal applicants will have a Master's or Diploma's degree with a 
background in machine learning, data mining, statistics, biology, 
chemistry, or physics. Programming skills in a high-level programming 
language are required.

Salary will be paid in accordance with the Austrian government salary 
scale. Women in particular are invited to apply. If several applicants 
have approximately equivalent qualifications, the rules on equal 
opportunities will be applied.
