January 27, 2010

A position for a PhD student in bioinformatics is available in the
Department of Microbiology at the German Collection of Microorganisms
and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) in Braunschweig, Germany. The project is
entitled ‘Phylogenomics And Functional Genomics of The Roseobacter
Clade’ and part of the recently established Transregional Collaborative
Research Centre — Special Research Field ‘Roseobacter’ funded by the
German Research Foundation (DFG).

The Roseobacter clade is one of the most abundant and successful groups
of non-obligately phototrophic prokaryotes in the marine environment.
The major goal of the Special Research Field is the understanding of
evolutionary, genetic and physiological principles which constitute the
secret of success for these bacteria. Consequently, marine microbial
ecologists, bacterial physiologists, biochemists, natural product
chemists, geneticists and computer scientists from Braunschweig and
Oldenburg join forces to investigate the Roseobacter clade from the
ecosystem level down to systems biology of model organisms with respect
to important metabolic processes.

The candidate’s tasks include the implementation of a software pipeline
for the phylogenomic analysis of completely sequenced genomes and its
application to members of the Roseobacter clade. Particular emphasis
will be laid on devising and assessing programs for species delimitation
and phylogenetic reconstruction directly based on whole genomes.

This PhD project is also tightly integrated with the DSMZ’s current
research related to the Genomic Encyclopedia of Archaea and Bacteria
(GEBA); see
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v462/n7276/full/nature08656.html .

The successful candidate will hold a master or diploma degree in
informatics or bioinformatics and will be experienced with programming
in compiled languages such as Java or C++ and scripting languages such
as Ruby or Python. Preferred students will also have experience in at
least some of the following fields: database programming, web
programming (e.g., Ruby on Rails, PHP), linux administration,
phylogenetic inference and genomics.

The DSMZ — Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH
(German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures;
http://www.dsmz.de/) is the most comprehensive Biological Resource
Centre in Europe. With more than 18.000 microorganisms, 1.200 plant
viruses, 600 human and animal cell lines, 770 plant cell cultures and
more than 7.100 cultures deposited for the purposes of patenting, we
have demonstrated our obligation to serve science for decades. The DSMZ
is an independent, non-profit organisation.
