ScientistinMolecularEvolution

We are seeking to recruit a Scientist to join Nick Goldman's research group () at the European Bioinformatics Institute located on the Wellcome Genome Campus near Cambridge in the UK. The group researches the evolutionary analysis of DNA and protein sequences, genomic data analysis methods, modelling of molecular evolutionary processes and statistical inference based on these models. We are interested in applications of existing and novel sequence analyses in large-scale comparative genomics, Next Generation Sequencing, and the use of DNA for digital information storage. **What You’ll Do** You will work with Nick Goldman and other members of the group on developing phylogenetic methodologies and their mathematical underpinnings, and biological applications. You will be expected to participate in research projects already under way in the group and to develop your own projects in related areas. You will be expected to present your research at appropriate conferences and meetings. In addition to pursuing research, you will take responsibility for various tasks maintaining and developing the efficient operation of the group. These may include management or leadership of research projects of your own and the group’s devising; supervision of other staff (including post-graduate students and junior visitors); collation of materials for reports and presentations; preparation of grant applications; teaching at training events (including abroad); liaison with colleagues and collaborators both within and outside of EMBL. **What We Do** EMBL-EBI is part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and it is a world-leading bioinformatics centre providing biological data to the scientific community with expertise in data storage, analysis and representation. EMBL-EBI provides freely available data from life science experiments, performs basic research in computational biology and offers an extensive user training programme, supporting researchers in academic and industry
