Two-Year Postdoctoral Scientist Position on the Link between Climate Prediction and Renewable Energy in the Mediterranean Region at the Climate Forecasting Unit (CFU)-IC3

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

IC3 is a climate research institute created in 2008 by the Government of Catalunya. IC3′s main scientific goal is to assess and understand climate variability and change at both global and regional scales to improve both predictions and projections. Linked to this goal, IC3 works on understanding and simulating how global change modulates variability and change in society and ecosystems. IC3′s mandate is to become a leading international centre for climate research in Europe, with a regional focus on the Mediterranean area. IC3 will mainly develop top-quality research on basic and applied climate sciences, while informing society and stakeholders on future climate risks. Working languages of IC3 are English, Catalan and Spanish.

There is growing interest in the implications of climate variability and change from a season to a few decades ahead. Reliable climate information is critical to ensure that adaptation measures to climate variability and change are well justified and efficient. The Climate Forecasting Unit (CFU), which is led by the ICREA Research Professor F. J.
Doblas-Reyes, undertakes research on the development and assessment of dynamical and statistical methods for the prediction of global climate on time scales ranging from months to decades. More information about the activities of the unit is available from the following links:

You will be part of a growing team of a skilled bioinformatics team led by Dr. Morris Swertz embedded in high impact publishing genetics and bioinformatics research departments of >45 researchers (Prof. dr. CIsca Wijmenga, Prof. dr. Ritsert Jansen, >15 recent publications in Nature journals). We offer you access to a state-of-the-art next generation sequencing (NGS) facility, innovative a broad range of human and model organism labs, and collaboration with major national and international research groups including visits and stays.

We are looking for a postdoc to take the bioinformatics lead in exciting next generation sequencing projects such as to sequence 750 Dutch individuals (“Genome of the Netherlands project, BBMRI-NL) and to contribute to innovative analysis methods, high impact variation publications, dynamic software infrastructures and new diagnostic tools for the next generation of medical care.

What do we need?
The ideal candidate is a motivated PhD graduate with experience and background in bioinformatics, genetics, molecular biology and/or biotechnology, excited as we are to explore next-generation sequencing data, embark on ‘TB scale’ bioinformatics analyses, with excellent track record, good command of the English language, and a growing bioinformatics toolbox with statistical methods, knowledge of public tools, personal scripts, and so on.

What do we offer?
We offer a full-time contract for a period of 3 to 5 years and a starting salary € 3052-3279 gross per month (depending on qualifications/experience, Dutch UMC scale 10, 11).
Fellowship Application Deadline: 11 January 2011
