BIOLS Beijing Bioinformatics
PhD students in Metagenomics and Bioinformatics at
Beijing Institutes of Life Science, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, Beijing, China
The Zhao Lab (http://159.226.116.227/-
About Us.html) at the Computational Biology
Center of Beijing Institutes of Life Science, Chinese
Academy of Sciences, is seeking highly motivated
and ambitious Postdoctoral fellows and PhD students
in the areas of bioinformatics and metagenomics.
Metagenomics based on random sequencing of microbial
community DNA offers the opportunity to
understand the phylotypic diversity and the functional
potential present in microbial communities. We aim
to develop sophisticated metagenomic algorithms and
softwares, and to combine the power of genomics,
bioinformatics and systems biology to understand
various environmental communities.
Applicants must have the ability to work in a team,
have good communication skills and should be highly
motivated and committed to pursuing interdisciplinary
research. Programming skills in Perl, Python, Java or
C/C++, and/or a knowledge of statistical bioinformatics
(R) would be highly regarded.
Please submit a cover letter (including a brief statement
of interest), CV and contact information for two references
to Prof. Fangqing Zhao at zhfq@mail.biols.ac.cn

Dear Colleagues,
BrownU MBL NGS
EvolutionaryBiol
Brown University and the Marine Biological Labs in
Woods Hole are accepting applications for the Ph.D.
program in Reverse Ecology, the application of nextgeneration
sequencing technologies to questions in ecology,
evolution and environmental sciences.
This program is supported by an NSF IGERT award
and will give special consideration to applicants interested
in integrating genomics, ecology and evolutionary
biology, and computational biology as the foundation of
their doctoral training. Highlights of the program are a
core course in reverse ecology that applies high throughput
sequencing tools, neutral models of ecological and
evolutionary variation, and computational analyses of
large data sets to test specific ecological or evolutionary
questions at NSF LTER sites. Training in field ecology,
Illumina library preparation, and computational
and statistical analyses are achieved through handson,
group projects that culminate in joint- authored
manuscripts for publication.
Research themes include 1) microbial and comparative
