FIMM is currently seeking 2 Bioinformaticians (Junior and senior bionformatics specialist)

https://www.fimm.fi/en/open-position/bioinformatician-2-positions

Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) Technology Centre is a biomedical service and infrastructure facility and the leading sequencing infrastructure in Finland. It provides and develops sequencing services for national and international research groups, hospitals, and biotechnology companies and employs nearly 50 technology experts from diverse educational backgrounds. To fortify our next-generation sequencing team consisted of ten skilful genomics experts, six health data specialists, and three bioinformaticians, we are seeking one junior and one senior bioinformatician to provide user consultation and develop data-analysis services for the analysis of next-generation sequencing and especially for single-cell genomics data.

The preferred candidates have background in computational genomics, bioinformatics, computer science, or biosciences. They are familiar with major programming languages (Python, Perl, Java, R, and C) and are proficient in at least one of them. Experience of Linux, analysis of biomedical data, experimental design, and software development are also essential. Candidates must be fluent in written and spoken English and should have excellent presentation skills and an enthusiasm towards customer service. They must have basic knowledge on genomics and/or transcriptomics and be able to co-operate with collaborators with varying level of expertise on bioinformatics. Previous working experience in a service laboratory and an established ability to set up data-analysis services are an advantage.

The positions are affiliated with and are funded Helsinki Institute for Life Sciences (HiLIFE). They are initially for two years with possibility of extension, depending on performance. The salaries will be based on the University salary scheme, composed of both task related and personal performance components. The posts will include a trial period of four months. The research will take place at the Meilahti medical campus, 5 km west from the center of Helsinki.

To apply for the position, please send your motivation letter and CV, including list of publications and contact information for two references, through the University of Helsinki electronic recruitment system by clicking on the Apply link. Internal applicants (i.e., current employees of the University of Helsinki) please submit your applications through the SAP HR portal. Please apply no later than June 15^th, 2017. The employment may begin as soon as possible or as agreed.

For further information please visit our website at http://www.fimm.fi and/or contact Dr. Mattila (pirkko.mattila@helsinki.fi) or Dr. Kankainen (matti.kankainen@helsinki.fi).

Postdoc position at Smita Saxenas lab at University of Bern, Switzerland

Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Smita Saxena in the Department of Neurology, University hospital, University of Bern, Switzerland. The newly established Center for Experimental Neurology in the Department of Neurology has state-of-the-art labs and equipment and fosters a highly vibrant scientific exchange between clinical and experimental research groups. We are seeking postdoctoral candidates who are passionate about deciphering the role of dendrites and synapses in promoting neurodegeneration.

We are seeking postdoctoral candidates who are passionate about deciphering the role of dendrites and synapses in promoting neurodegeneration. The project, funded by the European Research Council, strives to understand the relationship between early deficits in neuronal circuits and the pathogenic alterations within disease vulnerable neurons. The main research interests of our laboratory focus on the mechanistic and therapeutic studies of neurodegenerative diseases such as Motor neuron diseases and Spinocerebellar ataxia. Our multidisciplinary approach uses transgenic disease models and combines state-of-the-art small cell number proteomics, transcriptomics, calcium imaging, viral mediated gene expression, neuronal tracing, chemogenetics and behavior paradigms to elucidate neuron specific alterations driving disease in defined population of neurons (Ruegsegger et al., Neuron 2016, Ruegsegger et al., Acta Neuropathologica 2016, Filezac de L’Etang et al., Nature Neuroscience 2015 and Saxena et al., Neuron 2013). The successful applicant should have a PhD degree in biological sciences with an excellent track record, a strong background in neurosciences, a broad working knowledge of mouse genetics, stereotactic surgeries in rodents, molecular and cellular biology, confocal, 2-photon imaging, and

The successful applicant should have a PhD degree in biological sciences with an excellent track record, a strong background in neurosciences, a broad working knowledge of mouse genetics, stereotactic surgeries in rodents, molecular and cellular biology, confocal, 2-photon imaging, and behavioral assays.
