Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Phage Bioinformatics at FAPESP, Brazil
A prestigious Post-Doctoral Fellowship in bacteriophage bioinformatics is currently open at the Laboratory of Bioinformatics within the Research, Innovation, and Dissemination Centre B3 (Biology of Bacteria and Bacteriophages). The position is funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and hosted at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil.
Researchers interested in developing innovative bioinformatics methods and applying computational tools to advance the understanding of bacteriophage biology can apply. The selected fellow will contribute to cutting-edge research focusing on bacteriophage genomics, genome assembly, annotation, and comparative analysis.
The successful candidate will work on projects related to:
- Development of bioinformatics tools for phage research
- Genome assembly and annotation of bacteriophages
- Comparative genomics of bacteriophages
- Machine learning approaches for analyzing phage genomic data
- Understanding phage biology through computational analysis
This research contributes to advancing knowledge in phage genomics and microbial systems, and contributes to combating antimicrobial resistance and improving microbial biotechnology.
Qualifications Required
- Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Genomics, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline
- Strong background in bacteriophage biology and comparative genomics
- Experience with bioinformatics tools for genome analysis
- Experience in phage genome assembly and annotation
- Proficiency in Python and R programming
- Experience with Machine Learning techniques
How to Apply
Interested and eligible candidates should submit:
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) with links to Google Scholar, ORCID, or Research ID
- Motivation letter describing interest in the position
- Contact details of two referees who can provide reference letters
- Applications should be mailto: setubal@iq.usp.br
