| Trích: | |  | | | Em tính apply ngành này bên EU thay vì Mĩ chưa có GRE, em mới có IELTS thôi. | | | | | A position for a PhD student in bioinformatics is available in the
Department of Microbiology at the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) in Braunschweig, Germany. The project is entitled ‘Phylogenomics And Functional Genomics
of The Roseobacter Clade’ and part of the recently established Transregional Collaborative Research Centre — Special Research Field ‘Roseobacter’ funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
The Roseobacter clade is one of the most abundant and successful groups of non-obligately phototrophic prokaryotes in the marine environment. The major goal of the Special Research Field is the understanding of evolutionary, genetic and physiological principles which constitute the secret of success for these bacteria. Consequently, marine microbial ecologists, bacterial physiologists, biochemists, natural product chemists, geneticists and computer scientists from Braunschweig and Oldenburg join forces to investigate the Roseobacter clade from the ecosystem level down to systems biology of model organisms with respect to important metabolic processes.
The candidate’s tasks include the implementation of a software pipeline for the phylogenomic analysis of completely sequenced genomes and its application to members of the Roseobacter clade. Particular emphasis will be laid on devising and assessing programs for species delimitation and phylogenetic reconstruction directly based on whole genomes.
This PhD project is also tightly integrated with the DSMZ’s current research related to the Genomic Encyclopedia of Archaea and Bacteria (GEBA); see http://www.nature.com/nature/journal...ture08656.html.
The successful candidate will hold a master or diploma degree in informatics or bioinformatics and will be experienced with programming in compiled languages such as Java or C++ and scripting languages such as Ruby or Python. Preferred students will also have experience in at least some of the following fields: database programming, web programming (e.g., Ruby on Rails, PHP), linux administration, phylogenetic inference and genomics.
The DSMZ — Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures; http://www.dsmz.de/) is the most comprehensive Biological Resource Centre in Europe. With more than 18.000 microorganisms, 1.200 plant viruses, 600 human and animal cell lines, 770 plant cell cultures and more than 7.100 cultures deposited for the purposes of patenting, we have demonstrated our obligation to serve science for decades. The DSMZ is an independent, non-profit organisation.
For further details regarding the position please contact Dr. Hans-Peter Klenk (e-mail: hans-peter.klenk-at-dsmz.de; phone: +49-(0)531-2616-227) or Dr. Markus Goeker (e-mail: markus.goeker-at-dsmz.de; phone: +49-(0)531-2616-272).
