The Convergenomix project is looking to hire an
engineer or post-doc with experience in C++ and OCaml for a 2
year contract at the University of Lyon 1. The proposed work
deals with the implementation of computational methods in
evolutionary biology, and it involves high performance
computing, probabilistic inference and models for genome
evolution. Previous experience in computational biology is not
required (but would of course be a plus), and while the proposed
work mainly involves software development, it is also a great
opportunity to learn about biology and evolution.
Lyon is the second largest French city, is very well connected to other European cities, is famous for its food, and offers a broad range of cultural and recreational activities.
Application packages should include a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, and the names and email addresses of two referees. Documents should be submitted as a single PDF file to convergenomix@univ-lyon1.fr.
