A Post-Doctoral Position in Computational Biology or Bioinformatics in Bioinformatics Center, Kyoto University, Japan
A post-doctoral position in computational biology is available at the Bioinformatics Center at Kyoto University. Located in Japan, the research center is famous for a metabolic pathway database called the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). The center seeks a candidate who will be engaged in research aimed at developing computational methods for reconstructing metabolic pathways from various forms of existing biological data. The methods to be developed should be based upon statistics, machine learning, data mining, numerical computation, algorithmics or combinatorics. The candidate should have a Ph.D. and solid technical experience in one of the above fields or another field in computer science or a similar quantitative area of study. The applicant should be enthusiastic and energetic in doing new research in computational biology and should have sufficient programming skills in C, C++ or Java. The position is for one year but renewable, by mutual agreement, until as late as March 2007. Kyoto University's Bioinformatics Center is situated 15 km south of downtown Kyoto and 40 km north of the center of Nara, and is thus conveniently located near Japan's two most famous historical cities. The location is ideal for you to both enjoy Japan's traditional beauty and to devote yourself to research in computational biology. Please send your detailed curriculum vitae (including list of publications, brief summary of your past work, and at least three references) to: Dr. Hiroshi Mamitsuka Bioinformatics Center Kyoto University Email: mami at kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
