Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health (RTH), http://rth.dk, Department of Veterinary Clinical and Animal Sciences, Faculty Health and Medical Sciences at University of Copenhagen has an open PhD position in RNA Bioinformatics. We are looking for an enthusiastic person to join our team for three years starting 1st September 2016. You will be a hardworking team player and a key person in the project group essential for obtaining successful results. The application deadline is: 2016-07-05

Background

Cell factories are based on organisms, which have been carefully optimized to produce protein-based products such as enzymes and pharmaceutical proteins with the highest possible yield. However, current technology is saturated with respect to yield improvement although the theoretical maximum has not been reached yet. Within the NextProd project, the goal is to improve the yield by manipulating ncRNAs. See more at http://nextprod.dk.

Specific Job description

Comprehensive annotation for noncoding and structured RNA on the bacillus gene is to be made from transcriptome data as well as from genomic data. In addition the include RNA interaction predictions and data when relevant. Pipeline that encompass known tools will be made. The pipeline will further include developing tools for integrating RNA structure probing data in the RNA structure annotation. Furthermore, the work will involve transcriptome and expression analyses. ncRNA RNA annotation and transcriptome analysis.
