Description

The main objective for the role is to build and maintain a consistent and extensible computational framework and database for structural and functional annotation of microbial genomes, and metagenomes. Depending on interests, it will be extended to work on other biological (e.g protein-protein interactions, virtual screening) or computational problems related to the volume and living character of the data (e.g. perpetual clustering, novelty detection, data classification and visualization).
The work will be carried out as a part of the Microbiome Immunity Project. The role will be exclusively computational but with significant implications for experimental applications.
