The Centre for Ancient Environmental Genomics (CAEG) is an interdisciplinary research center specializing in sequencing and analyzing ancient DNA (aeDNA). Our international research team collects samples from ice, soil, and lake deposits and utilizes cutting-edge sequencing technologies to extract and analyze ancient DNA from such samples. Through the reconstruction of ancient environments, our research provides valuable insights into ecological and evolutionary processes, including the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities.
Salary and Job Conditions
The position will be as either Academic Staff or Special Consultant, depending on background and experience of the chosen candidate. The monthly salary will be based on the number of years of work experience (seniority), with the possibility to negotiate a salary supplement based on prior experiences and qualifications.
Job Description
As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will be responsible for processing large next-generation sequencing metagenomic datasets. Your role will involve processing large-scale next-generation sequencing datasets, designing and automating cutting-edge pipelines for data summarization, visualization, and quality control. You may also develop innovative bioinformatic tools and benchmarking methodologies that will revolutionize how ancient metagenomic data is processed and interpreted.
Required Skills and Qualifications
We are seeking a highly motivated and forward-thinking academic with a robust scientific background and extensive experience in ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis. Essential experience and skills include a Master or PhD in Life sciences, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Data Science or related fields, advanced proficiency in Python, R, and UNIX shell scripting, and substantial experience in developing pipelines using tools like Snakemake and Docker. Knowledge of low-level languages such as C/C++ and similar is also required. Additionally, you should have demonstrated experience in the analysis of large-scale (ancient) DNA datasets, a deep understanding of bioinformatics pipelines for taxa assignment, and proficiency in queue management systems (e.g., Slurm) and experience managing high-performance computing environments.
