Applications are invited for a
post-doctoral fellow to work in the area of chemoinformatics within the
research group of Prof. Joao Aires-de-Sousa in the Department of
Chemistry at FCT - New University of Lisbon, Portugal. Current projects
of the group are centred around the representation and prediction of
chemical/metabolic reactions, and SPINUS (a neural network system for
the prediction of NMR spectra).
The successful candidate will be involved in the development of methods
for reaction prediction/classification, and their application to a
diversity of fields from bioinformatics to toxicology. The postdoc will
be a member of a highly motivated young team in a dynamic international
department, which has been rated with excellent classification by
independent evaluation panels. The successful candidate should be
prepared to collaborate in international research projects.
The FCT-UNL campus is located in the Tagus river basin, 10 km from
Lisbon city center, and 3 km from the Atlantic Ocean and Caparica
beaches. The campus occupies an area of approximately 30 hectares and
hosts 6,000 students, professors and researchers in science and
engineering.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in an area relevant to the project,
experience in chemoinformatics or bioinformatics, good knowledge of
organic chemistry or biochemistry or toxicology, programming skills in
Java or C/C++, interests in machine learning techniques, good written
English skills, and > 5 publications in peer-reviewed journals. Clearly,
the project will allow enhancing this knowledge and will thus provide
the postdoc with good professional opportunities.
The position is for one year with the possible extension up to three
years.
Interested individuals should apply with a letter detailing why they are
interested in the project, and a CV including description of past
research and work experiences, as well as a list of references.
Applications should be sent by e-mail to
