A PhD position is available in molecular evolution with Nick Goldman at the
European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), Cambridge, UK.
The precise research area is open to discussion, but it is expected to be on
a project in molecular phylogenetic methodology. Candidates should have
background in maths/stats/computer science/similar highly quantitative areas
plus interest in molecular evolution; or background in biological sciences
but with demonstrably high mathematical skills. At least some familiarity
with computer programming is necessary.
The position is available from October 2010 (earlier by agreement), and will
be fully funded by the EBI. Students are selected from amongst highly
qualified applicants from all the EMBL member states (see
http://www.embl.de/aboutus/general_information/organisation/member_states/index.html).
External fellowships fund a smaller number of non-member state nationals.
If interested, it is necessary to register on the online application website
by 1 Dec 2009, and applications must be completed in 15 Dec 2009.
