A few of us from the mol ecol lab will run the Population Genomics Workshop in Sheffield again in January. More details including how to apply are on the webpage:

There are a couple of R workshops being run by the Sheffield Bioinformatics Core over the coming weeks. Details:

2. Intermediate R course

On Friday 15 December we will be holding a one-day workshop on Data Manipulation and Visualisation in R.

This workshop will introduce some new additions to the R statistical language that ease the crucial process of manipulating and preparing data for analysis. We will also introduce the popular ggplot2 package for producing publication-quality graphics.

The workshop is being hosted by the Sheffield Bioinformatics Core, a new Core Facility at the University of Sheffield. However, no biological knowledge will be assumed and the materials should be accessible to all with some basic familiarity with R.

There is a small fee of £60 for attending the course. Please use this link to sign-up

I am looking for a post doc or a bioinformatician for a fixed term of 2 years to join my group. Successful candidate will work on genomic data (3 reference genomes and 60 re-sequenced genomes) on Formica rufa group ants to understand patterns of speciation and hybridization. Previous experience in analyzing next generation sequencing data is required.
