<br>
Department of Biosciences<br>
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Microbial Molecular Ecology<br>
Position as postdoctoral research fellow available at the
Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo, Norway<br>
<br>
The fellowship period is 2 years. Starting date no later than
01.1.2016. No one can be appointed for more than one fixed-term
period at the same institution. <br>
<br>
Project description:<br>
<br>
The position will take place within the Centre for Integrative
Microbial Evolution (CIME) at the University of Oslo (UiO),
Norway. CIME is a newly established research environment at UiO
which comprises multidisciplinary research in microbial ecology
and evolution. The candidate will work in questions that are at
the forefront of microbial ecology & evolution research
using state-of-the-art technologies, within a motivating and
cross-disciplinary scientific environment that should promote
future career perspectives.<br>
<br>
The main aim of the project is to assemble a comprehensive
network of ecological interactions (interactome) between
microbes inhabiting a marine-coastal microbial observatory in
the Mediterranean Sea. The project will use multiple omics
approaches (metagenetics, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics
& single-cell genomics) in order to determine ecological
interactions between abundant microbes. An interaction network
will be assembled progressively and its properties will be
analyzed in a network-analysis framework. The work will include
field sampling, general wet-lab as well as multiple
bioinformatics and statistical analyses. Collected data will be
analyzed together with data from archives (DNA as well as
contextual metadata) encompassing the last 10 years.<br>
<br>
Qualifications:<br>
<br>
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic
ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for
these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and
expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect
to academic credentials.<br>
<br>
The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education
equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in Bioinformatics,
Ecology, Biology or Marine Sciences. <br>
<br>
He/She must have a strong interest in microbial ecology,
evolution and computational biology, which is needed to perform
the research and interpret results. Furthermore, experience in
processing High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data (Illumina
sequencing) deriving typically from projects on microbial
genomics, metagenomics, metagenetics, transcriptomics or
single-cell genomics will be considered a strong advantage.<br>
<br>
The candidate must have proved fluency with at least one
computer programming language (Python, R or Perl) and general
Unix skills. Extra aspects that will be evaluated positively
are: motivation, flexibility for fieldwork trips to Barcelona,
familiarity with statistics, wet-lab techniques (DNA/RNA
extraction, flow cytometry, preparation of libraries for HTS,
PCR, etc.) and with working with high-performance computing
clusters, scientific writing, communication skills and
independence as well as capability to work and collaborate in
research teams.<br>
<br>
The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to
qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within
their disciplines. <br>
<br>
Please also refer to the regulations pertaining to the
conditions of employment for post-doctoral fellowship positions.<br>
