The Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics is one of the foremost centers for bioinformatics research in Scandinavia. Integrated in the bioinformatics research, we maintain a core facility for the support of bioinformatics analyses by external scientists. For this facility we seek a director that ideally also wants to pursue a bioinformatics research program. The core facility duties include the orgainzation of workshops and seminars, in addition to the management of support staff.
Funding is available for a group to run the facility, as well as for research activities.
The CGB has a broad interest in bioinformatics research, including areas such as comparative genomics, genomic annotation, function prediction, and gene expression. The emphasis is on methods suitable for genome-scale sequence analysis and annotation. The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics or related field and detailed knowledge of molecular biology. Alternatively, a Ph.D. in molecular biology or related field and extensive experience in bioinformatics. A broad experience of sequence comparison, database searching, and homology analysis techniques is desired, as well as a high level of motivation.
