The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a world leader in genomic research, with an expanding scientific programme dedicated to understanding gene function in health & disease.

Three postdoctoral fellowships in machine learning and computational biology are available in the lab of William Stafford Noble in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.

Situated in Mill Hill, north-west London, NIMR is the largest MRC institute, supporting some 70 research groups and 500 bench scientists. The Institute provides excellent training for researchers in a multi-disciplinary environment and is equipped with state of the art facilities.

The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), and is located on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus at Hinxton, near Cambridge, UK. The Ensembl group is one of the leaders in Metazoan genome annotation and part of the team is creating a new international data resource for the storage and analysis of genotype data.

The European Genotype Archive (EGA) project is looking for a Computational Biologist / Bioinformatician who will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the EGA including the development of primary analysis and data mining techniques. The EGA will store both publicly available and limited access data and a primary aspect of the job will be to integrate available data for whole genome association studies.

Rothamsted Research enjoys an international reputation for the quality of our research across the agricultural, environmental and plant biotechnological sciences and we have well equipped laboratories and professional support services. Our students gain from working in a genuinely multidisciplinary environment which is further enriched by our collaborations with many universities and institutes in the UK and abroad.

The PhD studentships available in the disciplines listed below are funded from a number of sources including BBSRC and attract a minimum annual stipend of £12,600 (£15,100 for BBSRC CASE Studentships).

We are using genomic and bioinformatics approaches to investigate the molecular processes underlying mammalian stem cell differentiation and lineage commitment. Computational biologists are sought to participate in ongoing collaborations with experimental laboratories, and to lead new research projects in human and mouse embryonic and neural stem cell characterization.

The post holder will have the opportunity to initiate their own computational projects, but will also coordinate with colleagues in experimental labs and contribute to the design and execution of related studies. Projects will focus on large-scale gene expression profiling, comparative genomics and regulatory systems modelling.
