Postdoctoral Researcher in Bioinformatics and Genome Evolution at LBBE Lyon, France
A 2 year (+1) post-doctoral position is available to work on integrative methods for reconstructing ancestral genomes in the Bioinformatics and Genome Evolution (BGE) group at the LBBE in Lyon, France (http://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/?lang=en).
The researcher will work in collaboration with Vincent Daubin, Bastien Boussau, Gergely Szollosi and Eric Tannier, in the context of the
ANCESTROME project. ANCESTROME (http://ancestrome.univ-lyon1.fr) is a large collaborative project funded by the French National Research Agency. The project aims at building integrative models and studying the genomes of extant living organisms to reconstruct evolutionary intermediates together with the evolutionary processes that have generated them.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in computational biology or probabilistic models. Good programming skills are essential. A good understanding of the concepts of evolutionary biology is a plus.
To apply, send a CV and motivation letter including references to Vincent Daubin (vincent.daubin@univ-lyon1.fr) and Bastien Boussau
(bastien.boussau@univ-lyon1.fr).
