Applications for a 3-years PhD fellowship to characterize the structure, functioning and evolution of giant virus genomes through bioinformatics approaches.

We are seeking applicants with knowledge of next-genera on sequencing, genomics and experience in performing computational analysis from high-throughput datasets.

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a long term commitment for translational research also to be involved/proposed in/for a computer science doctorate program 2017. Developing skills/attitude are required to support autonomous work.

One PhD student will be working on the computational reconstruction and analysis of enhancer-gene regulatory networks altered in cancer. The second PhD student will be recruited together with a collaborator at IFOM and will be working on the characterization of gene modules involved in defining pluripotency and totipotency characteristics of stem cells.
