Job Description: Postdoctoral positions are available in my group for research on protein structure and function prediction, prediction of properties of small molecules. The positions depend on (simple, 2-page, online) application for funding to be submitted jointly by the candidates and the Principal Investigator to the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET). Deadline for application to IRCSET is early December. Prospective candidates should contact me by early November to get pre-approval and coordinate the submission. I am looking for candidates with a Ph.D. in the general area of bioinformatics (e.g. Biology, but with strong computational focus, Computer Science but strong applicative focus on molecular biology). At this stage candidates may still be working towards their Ph.D., but they need to have completed it by the Summer of 2011. This is a very competitive call and only candidates with strong research and publication records will be considered.
