Looking for staffs

To launch new research projects at CDB in Kobe (details about my move)  regarding the evolution of vertebrate gene repertoire and its functional characterization, I am looking for staffs (PhD students or postdocs) with special focus detailed below:

・Bioinformatician with prior skills to analyze output of next-generation sequencers
・Pre-/post-doctoral researcher who is specialized in molecular evolution and phylogenetics
・Pre-/post-doctoral researcher who has prior experience in chromatin biochemistry for ChIP assays
・Pre-/post-doctoral researcher with skills of molecular developmental biology (RT-PCR, in situ hybridization, etc.)

At the moment, no position funded directly by CDB is advertized, but I welcome candidates applying for external fellowships/scholarships. Please don't hesitate to contact directly to me (shigehiro.kuraku (at) uni-konstanz.de).

'Good slip' into 2012 !

In this season, every German says 'Guten Rutsch!',
meaning 'Good slip (into the new year) !'. 

Today I organized several things to leave the apartment and the town soon.

I wish you all a happy new year.

I included the info about my move in the page 'Author info' linked above. I am widely looking for staffs (Ph.D. students and postdocs) who can join in my new team in Kobe. I will probably also announce that in this page later as wel as in other sites.
