Duration: 3 years
Description:
A Research
Assistant position in bioinformatics is available. We are looking for a graduate student
pursuing Ph.D. with strong background in information theory, theoretical
computer science and familiarity with genetics. He/She will
be working on information theoretical, bioinformatics and experimental
aspects of the NSF funded project Error
Correction Algorithms for DNA Repair Inference, Analysis, and Intervention. No experimental experience is

Postdoctoral position openings: 1
Start Date: January 2009
Duration: 2 years
Annual Salary: from $36,000 to $40,000
Description:
A Post-doctoral
position in bioinformatics is available.
We are looking for a candidate with strong background in information
theory, theoretical computer science, statistics, and genetics. The postdoctoral researcher will be
working on information theoretical, bioinformatics and experimental aspects
of the NSF funded project Error
Correction Algorithms for DNA Repair Inference, Analysis, and Intervention. The bioinformatics work includes
design of experiments for inferring functional patterns of gene interactions,
and working with yeast databases such as SGD (extracting data necessary for
creating and modeling genetic wiring diagrams). The information theoretical problems
are related graphical models, Boolean networks, constraint satisfiability problems, and codes on graphs. The experimental work involves
exposing yeast cells to different doses of ionizing radiation and recording
gene expression levels using microarray screens. No experimental experience is
required.
Applications can be send to vasic@ece.arizona.edu and should include a CV, statement of research interests, and a statement addressing the following selection criteria:
A PhD in electrical and computer engineering, mathematics, computer science or closely related field
A publication record in either bioinformatics or information theory
Excellent programming skills; including C and Matlab
Well-developed organizational and project management skills
Strong written and oral communication skills
Good interpersonal skills
Summer internship openings: None
Note: I will not be able to respond to
inquiries about internship positions.
