Successful candidates will have a strong background in bioinformatics, computer science, statistics, and/or computational biology. Fluency in a major scripting language, and experience in software development is a must. Some background in biology is desirable, but interest in biology and bioinformatics is required. Candidates should be highly motivated and have the ability to work independently. As the research will involve a mix of disciplines, candidates with experience in several fields will be preferred (bioinformatics, genetics, protein structure, computational science, mathematics, physics, statistics).
