职位细节和招生要求
phd position ╟ functional genomics and computational biology
the focus of our research group is on understanding the dynamics of gene expression,
which is central to evolution, development and disease. gene expression is primarily
controlled at the level of transcription, which is mediated by transcription factor activity
and changes in the chromatin structure. chromatin structure is largely determined by
histone modifications and dna methylation, collectively known as epigenetic marks.
large international efforts such as the encode (https://www.encodeproject.org/) and
fantom (https://fantom.gsc.riken.jp/) projects are now generating a wealth of
transcriptomic and epigenomic data that should enable us to elucidate the mechanisms
underlying health and disease. however, the analysis of these data is not trivial. in
particular, repetitive regions in the genome pose an enormous challenge to current
bioinformatics tools. it has been estimated that approximately two thirds of the human
genome consists of repeats or repeat-derived sequences, and a predominant part of
these sequences are transposable elements. this project aims at developing
computational tools to aid the genome-wide characterization of sequences of transposon
origin. some of our related publications include:
li l, barth nkh, hirth e, taher l. pairs of adjacent conserved noncoding elements
separated by conserved genomic distances act as cis-regulatory units, genome biol
evol., 2018 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30184074).
taher et al., sequence signatures extracted from proximal promoters can be used to
predict distal enhancers, genome biology, 2013(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24156763).
eligibility:
we are looking for talented, highly motivated applicants with:
1. a master’s degree or equivalent within the field of computational biology,
bioinformatics or related fields.
2. familiarity with bash scripting, perl (or python) and r programming.
3. experience with the analysis of next-generation sequencing data (mainly from illumina
platforms).
4. strong written and oral communication skills in english.
how to apply:
the position will remain open until filled. please email applications to leila taher
(funcgenfau@gmail.com) with the subject “phd position”. an application package must
contain the following documents (please, send all in one pdf file):
1. a letter of interest.
2. a complete curriculum vitae.
4. copies of transcripts.
5. names and contact information for 2-3 references.
only complete applications will be considered.
please, note that the bioinformatics group of the department of biology at the friedrich-
alexander-universität erlangen-nürnberg (https://www.bioinfo.nat.fau.de) will be moving
to the tu graz in november 2019 (https://www.tugraz.at/fakultaeten/infbio/home/).
