Centre for Integrative Genetics (CIGENE)

CIGENE is now inviting applications for a three-year postdoctoral fellowship/research position associated with CIGENE's computational services and associated R&D work within the fields of production and population biology.

The candidate's work will be focused towards development and application of multivariate data analysis methodology on high-dimensional genotype/phenotype data. The development work will partly be based on specific high-dimensional empirical data and partly on how multivariate analysis of in silico data from very advanced computational models of complex traits can be used to assess potential sources of genetic variation.
 
Candidates should have an educational background in bioinformatics and/or statistics and/or computational biology. Candidates should also be able to document strong programming skills and be familiar with R/Matlab/Perl/Java/C in Windows or Linux environments. Applicants must have successfully completed their doctoral degree. We expect candidates to be highly skilled in their field, self-motivated, eager to take the initiative, in possession of good interpersonal skills and willing to work in close collaboration with others.
 
Annual salary ranges from level 57 to 64 on the Norwegian Government salary scale (approximately NOK 435.700 to 496.300 (EUR 54.260 - 62.037), depending on qualifications. The position is located at CIGENE's premises at UMB.
 
UMB wishes to recruit more females to science. If two or more applicants are considered to be equally qualified for the position, and at least one of them is female, the female will be employed.
