[R] studentship till January 2007

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Please pass along, and apologies for double posting.

We have money to support a student till January 2007 (with a salary of about 
1000 euro/month). Most of the work will focus on classification/prediction 
using microarray data. The work will involve both methodological research 
(mainly computation and simulation-based) and implementation of existing 
approaches using R (and possible development of web-based applications). In 
addition to the main focus of the job, the student will be encouraged (and 
expected) to get involved in the many collaborations we have with "wet lab" 
cancer researchers.

The candidate should have a bachelors or MSc degree in stats or related 
fields. A genuine interest in applied statistics and statistical 
consulting,and experience with multivariate methods, linear models, logistic 
regression, and survival analysis are required. Proficiency with R and 
knowledge of C/C++ or Fortran are required. Familiarity with Python (and Perl 
and/or Tcl/Tk) and some experience with development of web-based applications 
(CGIs using Python, for example) highly valued. Our machines only run 
GNU/Linux (or other Unixes) and thus knowledge of Linux to administer your 
workstation is needed.

The Bioinformatics Unit is one of the leading bioinformatics group in Spain, 
part of CNIO, one of the main cancer research institutes in Spain. We have 
developed a set of widely used web-based microarray data analysis tools, and 
have extensive computational facilities, including two computing clusters 
(with x86s and opterons) that use MPI and OpenMosix. You can check more of 
what we do at our group webpage (http://bioinfo.cnio.es) and my own web page 
(http://ligarto.org/rdiaz).
