Gertraud Burger | open positions

Graduate student position (PhD) in bioinformatics

A position is available to identify (primary and secondary structure) motifs involved in a novel RNA trans-splicing process that we discovered recently (Marande & Burger 2007, Science 318:415).
Predicted motifs and postulated mechanisms will be the basis for in vitro experiments, which, in turn, will help to narrow the search space of in silico analyses. More information on the lab's research program is available.

Sector/Affiliation

Robert-Cedergren Centre for Bioinformatics and Genomics, biochemistry department, Université de Montréal, Montreal, Canada.

Training background

MSc in bioinformatics or bi-disciplinary training in computer science & molecular biology.

Expertise

Methods and tools in pattern searching, motif prediction, RNA secondary structure prediction, gene prediction. Programming expertise in Perl, C(++), Java on the Unix/Linux platform.

Starting date

Immediately.

Application

Interested candidates are encouraged to send by e-mail their CV, student transcripts, Master thesis, and addresses for potential reference letters to
