The "Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Genome Biology" lead byDr. Guillem Ylla will open at the Jagiellonian University (Krakow, Poland) next fall and invites applications for a fully funded 3-year post-doc position starting between November 2021 and January 2022. The candidate will have the chance to work in a young lab, collaborate with international researchers, and use state-of-the-art technologies, infrastructure, and methodologies to study the evolution of genomes and gene regulatory networks.
We are seeking a motivated candidate interested in analyzing "omics" data to unveil the different mechanisms of gene expression regulation and genome evolution. The candidate will also participate in writing articles and grants, mentoring students, and managing the lab resources. Candidates belonging to minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply. We offer a competitive postdoc salary plus all benefits available for university employees.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Biology or similar field.

- Good communication skills in English (written and spoken).
- Intermediate or advanced programming skills (R or Python).
- Familiarity with Linux command line.
- Experience working with data from non-model organisms.
- Interests in evolutionary biology, ecology, and/or arthropods biology.
- Experience with R-Shiny, Python-Dash, or similar.
Please send the following documents by email to Dr. Guillem Ylla (guillem.ylla@uj.edu.pl) adding "Post-Doc position application ' Your Name" as email subject .
- CV including a list of publications.
- Cover letter describing the research interests (2 pages max).
- The contact information (email and phone number) of 2 to 4 references that might be contacted. Please state the affiliation, position, and role of the references.
Dr. Guillem Ylla will establish an inclusive and diverse research laboratory at the Jagiellonian University ' the oldest and one of the most prestigious universities in Poland ' Faculty of Biochemistry,
Biophysics and Biotechnology. Dr. Ylla was trained as a scientist in world-class research centers and universities in different countries, and published his works in high-impact scientific journals. The laboratory will excel on developing computational tools, and analyzing omics data to study the evolution of the gene expression mechanisms and how these have shaped the evolution.
This position will give you the opportunity to work closely with the PI., have research autonomy, mentor students, engage with international collaborators, and publish your work in scientific journals.
