Postdoctoral Position in Evolutionary Genomics and Bioinformatics, at the Center for Interdisciplinary Neuroscience at University of Valparaiso, Valparaiso, Chile. The Center for Interdisciplinary Neuroscience of Valparaiso (CINV) in Valparaiso, Chile, invites postdoctoral researchers to apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship focusing on understanding the evolution of genes and molecular pathways that play a role on inflammatory processes driving diseases affecting the central nervous system. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to this project using a combination of evolutionary and comparative genomics, as well as a diverse set of bioinformatic approaches for data analysis and integration (e.g., transcriptomics, genomics, phenotypic data). This position offers a unique opportunity to integrate diverse state-of-the-art genomic and phenotypic datasets across different model organisms to understand the role of genes, molecular pathways in the origin of complex diseases. CINV provides a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary environment using a variety of computational and experimental approaches, including genetically tractable animal models as well as expertise in genetics, behavior, glia-neuron communication, metabolism, biophysics, genomics, bioinformatics, host-microbe communication, and biomolecular modelling. The new postdoc will be part of one of our labs which focuses more generally on the intersection between molecular evolution and disease biology. Required qualifications are a PhD in evolutionary biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, or closely related fields. Candidates must have excellent verbal and written communication skills (working language is English), as well as an established record of productivity (e.g., at least one previous peer-reviewed publication). Candidates with a past record of publications in bioinfomatics, computational biology, population genetics or evolutionary genomics are strongly preferred. Ideal candidates should have experience in analyzing genomic and phenomic data, performing comparative evolution or population genomic analyses, as well as in collaborating with experimentalists. Interested candidates should first contact Evandro Ferrada at . Please include the following: (1) a cover letter addressing your interest in the position and how your expertise meets the position requirements, (2) a CV, (3) contact information of at least 2 references. A short online interview will follow to discuss specific proposals. Candidate materials will be reviewed as soon as possible until the position is filled.
