Position title: Postdoctoral Researcher
Employer: Flinders University
Closing date: 9/9/21
Brief position description: The Flinders Accelerator for Microbiome Exploration, FAME, is a new interdisciplinary research group at Flinders University with the mission of expanding access to microbiome and metagenomics approaches to accelerate the development of microbiome research across the biosphere!
As part of the Accelerator, the Research Associate in Bioinformatics will analyse viral genomics and metagenomics data from patients with Irritable Bowl Disease and associated control samples. This ongoing challenge requires talented, creative individuals to generate novel approaches to data mining. The Post-Doctoral researcher will advance our understanding of IBD by using viral genomics and metagenomics and leveraging experimental data to develop novel software packages to analyse these complex datasets. You will write and release code for ‘omics analysis using the latest breakthroughs in biology, machine learning, data science, and computer science.
You will develop cutting-edge approaches to explore complex datasets and interact with researchers to implement these approaches across the entire microbial spectrum, from phages and viruses associated with IBD.
