Tools for the Genetic Analysis of Complex traits
Opportunities at the Roslin Institute and the University of Edinburgh
The University of Edinburgh and the Roslin Institute (Edinburgh) have been at the forefront for developing methods to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) and making those available to the genetics community via QTL Express (http://qtl.cap.ed.ac.uk). In collaboration with the National eScience Centre, we have recently been awarded a BBSRC grant to expand the functionality of QTL Express and move it to a GRID platform.
For this project, we are looking for two post-docs with experience in quantitative genetics or bioinformatics. On Post-Doc will be appointed at the Roslin Institute and the other one at the University of Edinburgh. The posts encompass the development and implementation of novel methods that require strong genetics and scientific computing skills, and will involve innovation in the field of quantitative genetics and bioinformatics.
The University of Edinburgh will also be looking for a software engineer within the same project.
The posts are initially for 4 years and projected starting date is December 2004, but later starting dates would also be considered.
More details about the position at Roslin can be found on http://www.roslin.ac.uk/jobs/. Alternatively, contact Chris Haley ([log in to unmask]) or Dirk-Jan de Koning ([log in to unmask]).
For more information about the opportunities at the University of Edinburgh, please contact Sara Knott ([log in to unmask]).
All jobs will be advertised on jobs.ac.uk as well.
The closing date is December 6.
