Protein: * Post-translational modification of proteins. * Immunological bioinformatics, including MHC- peptide binding specificities, specificity of proteasome processing, TAP translocation. * Protein structure prediction, including beta-sheet pairing, pair-potentials and distance matrices. * Threading for structure based search for homologous proteins. * Development of new sophisticated neural network and hidden Markov model algorithms for sequence analysis. The center wishes to have the positions filled as soon as possible. The center conducts an active research program in biomolecular sequence and structure analysis with emphasis on novel adaptive computational strategies. CBS was started in 1993 and has recently received a new, substantial five year grant from the Danish National Research Foundation covering the period 1998-2003. Currently the research staff includes 5 associate professors, in addition to assistant professors, PhD-students, database managers, and scientific programmers. The center has excellent computing facilities: an optically connected cluster of 25 O2/Indy SGI workstations, a 12 processor R10000 SGI machine with 2 GB RAM, several other SUN, HP and Apollo workstations, and other resources from the national computer center. For further information on CBS, please consult the WWW pages at www.cbs.dtu.dk. The salary level for PhD stipends in Denmark is appr. $ 37,350 per year in 3 years (incl. pension). For Postdoc positions, depending on your seniority, the salary level ranges from $ 45,950 to $ 52,000 per year in two years (incl. pension). Applicants should send a short application, a curriculum vitae, a complete list of publications, and a statement of research interests to: Center director Soren Brunak, PhD Center for Biological Sequence Analysis Department of Biotechnology, Bld.
