[IIGB_All] Research position in Bioinformatics Teaching (1 year) available at Stockholm University, Sweden

[IIGBadmin]

Dear Colleague,

We have an opening to do Bioinformatics teaching research at Stockholm University, Sweden.  I hope you can help forward this announcement<https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/work-at-su/available-jobs?rmpage=job&rmjob=16766&rmlang=UK> to your department or others who may be interested. Our Rector has invested three rounds of funding in the development of our MS-level Bioinformatics course KB7016/KB7021, which we have used to implement flipped lectures, create video tutorials, virtualize the lab exercises, and in other ways create a remarkable and unique distance and hybrid course with greatly improved learning outcomes and student evaluations. Now we would like to find a brilliant scientist with pedagogical interests to create a Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) based on this, and write an accompanying pedagogical article.

The ideal candidate would have a background in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related field. They will also have a strong interest in teaching, though prior pedagogical publications are not strictly required. The candidate can also become involved in subject research if there is time and interest, and with that in mind research merits in RNA structure, protein-protein interactions, and deep learning, though not required, are a definite plus. Desk space will be provided at SciLifeLab Solna and SLU Uppsala.

Swedish workers enjoy considerable benefits including vacations, parental leave, medical insurance, and schooling. Women, the handicapped, and certain minority groups underrepresented in  Bioinformatics are encouraged to apply<https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/work-at-su/available-jobs?rmpage=job&rmjob=16766&rmlang=UK>.  We will provide full-time salary for one year.  While there is no guarantee of extension, we are to that end currently applying for additional pedagogical development funding from multiple sources.
