*Postdoctoral position in Bioinformatics *
A postdoctoral fellowship is available *“Integrating multidisciplinary data
to increase agricultural production under a climate change scenario (Ref:
BDAS02)”*, funded through the European P-SPHERE project under the COFUND
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions of the Horizon 2020 programme. This project
aims to integrating highthroughput genotypic and phenotypic data in order
to identify genes related with fruit quality and disease resistance in
crops species.
The successful candidate will join the IRTA Plant Genomics research team
located at the Agrigenomics Research Center (CRAG), a research institute
located at the UAB campus, near Barcelona. CRAG, a recently recognized
“Severo Ochoa” Center of Excellence, brings together basic research groups
in plant development, physiology, metabolism and genetics; groups in
bioinformatics and genomics working on plants and animals; and applied
projects developed together with Agbio, Biotech, and Breeding companies.
*Candidate requirements:*
We seek highly motivated candidates with research experience in areas
related to bioinformatics, statistics or data analysis. The applicants must
have skills in Next Generation Sequencing data analysis and strong
knowledge of bioinformatics applied to plant genomics. To be eligible,
applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work,
studies, etc) in Spain for more than twelve months in the three years
immediately prior to the call deadline. Applicants must have been awarded
their PhD before February 2014.
*Conditions:*
3-year work contract with a highly-competitive salary (36,100 € per year
gross salary) and a 3,000 € single relocation payment.
*Application: *
Applications should be submitted through the P-SPHERE project webpage:
