Open positions

We currently have 2 open positions (1 computational, 1 experimental)

- 2-year post-doc position (computational)

Application call (including how to apply): https://titulus.unifi.it/albo/viewer?view=files%2F004759151-UNFICLE-03981e36-f4fd-4169-b569-0787fed5a39b-000.pdf

Job Description:

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc to join our group for two years. We are opening the position in the context of "Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR)" and  Next Generation EU (NGEU) research plans.  The title of the projecti is "Computational modelling of microbial communities and their resilience strategies" and will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team, which can account for numerous joint publications rising also from the participation to previously funded projects (e.g. PRIN and PNRA grants). The researcher will work on newly generated and publicy available microbiome data to build predictive models on how microbial communities react and adapt to external perturbations. Additionally, constraint-based metabolic modelling and mathematical modelling in general will be applied in the context of the present project. More details on the project and on this specific position can be provided on requests.

 

The team:

Our research group (ComBo, Dep. of Biology, University of Florence) offers a very relaxed and friendly environment. The group is very heterogeneous and combines both experimentalists and computational biologists. At the same time, the group is very motivated, currently involved in many national and international collaborations and possesses a strong track-record in systems biology, bioinformatics, microbial ecology and bacterial genetics. 

Requirements:

• MS in Bioinformatics, Biological scienc, Physics or Mathematics and related disciplines.
• Basic programming skills with R, UNIX, Bash scripts.
• Familiarity with building / supporting / using bioinformatics pipelines.
• Familiarity with statistical and modeling of genomic/transcriptomic data.
• Familiarity with public biological data repositories (PubMed, SRA).

Application deadline:

17/11/2022

Position starting from:

01/02/2023

Job Description:

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc to join our group for two years to work on the identification and characterization of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. We are opening the position in the context of a PRIN Project (funded by MUR) on the identification of novel antibiotic targets and elucidation of resistance cellular mechanisms. The ideal candidate would have an experimental background in mutants generation and/or NGS library preparation. The research program and other additional details can be found in the link above.
