POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN BIOINFORMATICS

Two postdoctoral positions in bioinformatics are available immediately. These positions involve in searching for novel and disease genes. This project involves both experimental and computational work. Therefore, two types of candidates are needed. Biologist who is familiar with molecular cloning and simple sequence analysis on computer will be the first type. The other type is a statistician/mathematician/physicist/ chemist who knows how to write programs. Of course, a computer scientist who knows simple statistics is also qualified for the second category.
The newly formed interdisciplinary bioinformatics core laboratory is one important branch at YMGC (national Yang-Ming university Genome research Center). YMGC houses state-of-the-art facilities in computation, sequencing and microarray. The salary will be 55,000 NT per month, which is equivalent to about 24,000 USD per year (12 months plus 1.5-month bonus). This laboratory has close collaboration with the sequencing and microarray core laboratories. Recently, we have finished the annotation of ten-megabase of human sequences involved in liver cancer formation (chromosome 4q22-24 region).
Ample opportunities for interaction with the various members of this facility exist, including joint group meetings, seminars in the bioinformatics educational program at NYMU. Candidates for this position should have a Ph.D. in either life science, physical science (physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics), or computer science. Experience with Linux, Perl, or visual basic is a plus, but not essential for non-computer-science candidates. Please send, via email or mail, CV plus names, addresses and email addresses of three people willing to supply reference letters to:
