Postdoctoral position in Bioinformatics studying microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs

Research Area: Bioinformatics and Non-coding RNAs
Project title: microRNA regulatory networks in vertebrate development
Description of project: A postdoctoral position is available to study microRNAs and other non-coding small RNAs by combining high throughput sequencing and genetics in vertebrate model systems.
Applicants require a strong background in Bioinformatics, sequence analysis and perl programming, experience in molecular biology or developmental biology is preferred but not necessary.
