15 Positions in Computational and Systems Biology - Fondazione E Mach - Trento, Italy
15 Research positions in Computational and Systems Biology

Deadline for applications: 31th July 2012

http://www.fmach.eu/sperimentazione_context2.jsp?ID_LINK=4357&area=6

The Research and Innovation Centre at the Fondazione Edmund Mach (CRI-FEM) is a major international research institution with strong and expanding research interests in Fruit Genomics, Quality Health and Nutrition of Agricultural Products, Agro-ecosystems Sustainability, Biodiversity and Molecular Ecology. CRI-FEM hosts GMPF, an International PhD Program in Genomics and Molecular Physiology of Fruit Crops and Fox-Lab, an international initiative in forest and wood research.

To support interdisciplinary research and develop systems-level integrative approaches connecting genotype to phenotype, the CRI-FEM has now established a Computational Biology Centre (CBC). The CBC will engage with the research departments making the best of the available multi-omics datasets, and generate model-driven datasets, with a special focus on next generation sequencing genome wide analyses.

To drive forward this strategic expansion, the CRI-FEM is seeking to attract up to 15 high calibre scientists in key areas covered by the CBC (for more information on the CBC or informal inquiries on the advertised positions please contact Dr.Duccio Cavalieri at duccio.cavalieri [AT] fmach.it).
