The position includes DNA analysis, mainly using Nanopore technology. The work includes both laboratory work and handling/analysis of DNA data. Using Nanopore sequencing we study large amounts of mitochondrial sequence from dogs for large-scale population genetic analysis. The tasks include:
DNA extraction, PCR and library preparation
Management and bioinformatics of large data sets from the Nanopore platforms, mainly PromethION, and some Illumina and Sanger data
Sequencing with Nanopore MinION when required
A large part of the work will be done in a laboratory environment with preparation and amplification of samples via PCR, as well as library preparation. After the sequencing of the libraries, the work will go into a new phase with an emphasis on bioinformatics and phylogenetic analysis. We are therefore looking for a candidate with lab experience who enjoys working in the lab, and who is interested in bioinformatic analysis, basic programing and scripts.
What we offer
A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
A graduate degree or an advanced level (higher education) in molecular biology, biotechnology or equivalent competence.
Experience from laboratory work in molecular biology
Proficiency in basic computer operations, basic command of Shell commands or scripting (e.g., Bash), understanding of basic concepts and commands in Linux/Unix operating systems, and basic troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Preferred qualifications
Knowledge or skills in bioinformatic analysis of DNA sequence data, especially Nanopore
Experience of laboratory methods relevant for the job: PCR, library preparation, purification with magnetic beads. Preferably in 96-well plates.
Experience of phylogenetic analysis, preferably of mitochondrial genomes
Independence in planning and executing experiments
Good collaborative abilities
Awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, with specific focus on gender equality
