Description
Postdoctoral researcher at the Bergen Center for Computational Science
Several positions are available at Unifob AS, Bergen Center forComputational Sciences (BCCS) in connec-tion with the project “eSysbio –an e-science environment for systems biology” (see below for positionde-tails). The eSysBio-project is funded by the Reesearch Council ofNorway, through the eVITA e-science pro-gram. The project will run from2007-2012 and will involve a team of researchers, postdoctoral fellows,PhD-students, programmers, and master students.
The main aim of the project is to develop a collaborative virtualworkspace for entering, analysing and ac-cessing systems biology data.Users of the system will be researchers from multiple disciplines, suchas mo-lecular biology/biomedicine, statistics and mathematics. Theworkspace will be implemented using a Service Oriented Architecture(SOA), where Web services and semantic technologies will play key roles.The project is divided into three work packages: 1) Development of thecollaborative virtual workspace; 2) Resource integration (SOA/Webservices/workflows) and semantic technology; and 3) User interface andclient soft-ware integration.
BCCS has approximately 50 employees counting more than 17 differentnationalities. The center operates the high performance computingfacilities of the University of Bergen, and has units withinhigh-performance computing (Parallab), bioinformatics (CBU), andmathematics (CMU), all involved in the eSysbio project.
Postdoctoral researcher (1-2 positions):
The candidate must hold a PhD or equivalent. Ideally the candidate hasstrong theoretical and practical back-ground/experience with softwareengineering and data modeling as well as enthusiasm for use of emergingtechnologies and for inter-disciplinary research efforts. Interestand/or experience in mathematical modelling and bioinformatics is a plus.
Research activities can include integration of bioinformatics data, datamodelling and data analysis. The can-didate’s PhD should be in ComputerScience though we are also interested in candidates with doctoralde-grees in other fields (e.g., mathematics, physics, chemistry,biology) if they have extensive experience and proven abilities inprogramming and software engineering.
