The contract may be extended on a yearly basis until March 31, 2012,
depending on the research performance.

PhD in Bioinformatics [Honours in Stats, Maths, Computer Science or Molecular Biology, and knowledge of Bayesian Stats, Bioinformatics, and/or Computational Biology would be desirable]

Australian National University, University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology

PhD in Bioinformatics
Several PhD scholarships are available in a newly funded ARC project for developing and applying computational/statistical methods for detection of non-coding RNAs in eukaryote genomes. This is quite a hot topic, so you will be working at the forefront of bioinformatics with leading experts in the field in Australia and internationally.

The Bioinformaticians, who are usually biologists or biochemists with strong programming skills, contribute to the maintenance and development of the databases in the EBI’s Protein and Nucleotide Database Group (PANDA).

The selected candidate will be responsible for the analysis and annotation of sequence data using UNIX-based software tools, the extraction of biological information from scientific literature or databases using high-throughput methods and the development of new analysis and annotation tools. In addition to these activities, the incumbent will contribute to the development of the group’s external services and develop internal and external software specifications.

Ariadne (www.ariadnegenomics.com) develops innovative software products for life sciences research (pathway analysis and scientific text-mining) for academia, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.

We are seeking a molecular biologist/computational scientist for the position of Application Specialist in Europe.

Core responsibilities
The successful candidate will provide training and professional services to the users of pathway analysis and biological information extraction/indexing software including:

Applications are invited from candidates with a relevant higher degree (PhD or MSc) for the post of Research Associate in Bioinformatics in the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences.

Your primary role will be to pursue high quality bioinformatics research in cardiovascular genomics as part of an internationally-recognised group. The position provides an excellent opportunity for an individual with relevant skills to contribute to research in a clinically important area and to interact with laboratory scientists, statisticians and clinicians. The post also provides an opportunity to interact with other bioinformaticians at leading centres in the UK, Europe and the USA.

Meeting the increasing demand to support and analyse a range of cancer profiling assays, the Centre for Molecular Oncology led by Professor Lemoine has an immediate opening for a highly motivated Bioinformatician/Biostatistician with strong numerical skills and a track record of the analysis of high throughput technologies.

The successful candidate will be expected to address, under minimal supervision, statistical needs related to the design and analysis of profiling experiments, and be able to mine genomic information effectively to aid the identification of potential disease biomarkers for further study. The candidate will also contribute to the development of tools for large-scale data integration and visualisation.

AstraZeneca's Cancer Target Selection Group is looking to recruit a bioinformatician, preferably with postdoctoral experience or equivalent, to help generate and explore potential new drug target ideas. This is an excellent opportunity to put your applied bioinformatics skills into action, to aid the transition of breaking science into new therapeutic approaches.
