Open/upcoming postdoc positions

🧺 Bascet weaving

Postdoc position in bioinformatic methods for single-cell metagenomic analysis

The project: High-throughput single-cell metagenomic sequencing (scMetaG) methods have the potential to transform microbiology...but dealing with the massive amounts of complex data that they generate is a massive challenge! In collaboration with Johan Henriksson's group in the Department of Molecular Biology, we're developing novel computational methods, which can make sense of all this data! Specifically, we've developed 🧺 Bascet, a command-line suite designed to scale to massive scMetaG datasets (>1 million cells), and 🎨 Zorn, an R package/workflow manager that enables reproducible scMetaG data analysis, exploration, and visualization. Here, the project is flexible; postdocs can work on improving methods within Bascet/Zorn (e.g., trimming, de-barcoding, de novo assembly, genome annotation, scMetaG data visualization), developing novel analysis methods (e.g., novel methods for longitudinal scMetaG analysis, machine learning-based methods for genome annotation)...or improving the many methods/tools we're currently developing! 😉

Required educational background: a PhD degree (or a foreign degree that is deemed equivalent) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Bioinformatics, or a related subject of relevance for the project; candidates with degrees in other STEM disciplines who have demonstrated programming/coding skills (see below) are also encouraged to apply!

Required programming skills: Familiarity with Rust; applicants proficient in a statically typed programming language who are willing to learn Rust are also encouraged to apply! 🦀

Application: Click here for more information, and contact us (Laura or Johan) if you'd like to apply (please attach a CV + provide a link to your e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg)! 🤗
