Post-doctoral/PhD position in bioinformatics in the field of microbial ecology
Starting date: 2008.
Length: two years for post doc, full PhD.
The project
This project is a cooperation between Israel's police Division of
Identification and Forensic Science, the Minz Laboratory
(http://www.agri.gov.il/en/people/677.aspx), the Gillor Laboratory
(http://web2.bgu.ac.il/ziwr/faculty/gillor/index.htm) and the Jurkevitch
Laboratory (http://departments.agri.huji.ac.il/plantpath/jurkevitch).
The goal of the project is to develop a forensic tool for the analysis of soil samples
using bacterial communities' fingerprints. The post-doc fellow/student will be in
charge of developing, applying and validating protocols for soil analysis using
molecular markers, analyzing large numbers of samples, and building an adequate
integrative approach for sample correlation. The post-doc will coordinate the work of
students and technicians of the various groups. The research requires skills in either
molecular microbial ecology, bioinformatics and/or statistical analysis.
