Metagenomics/bioinformatics/microbiology job of the week: Chisholm lab at MIT

Good at bioinformatics? Looking for a job? Check out this one in Penny Chisholm's lab at MIT:

Chisholm has done some incredible work on marine microbes. Here are some of her "Open Access" papers to browse:

• PLoS ONE: Analysis of High-Throughput Sequencing and Annotation Strategies for Phage Genomes
• Modeling selective pressures on phytoplankton in the global ocean.
• Short RNA half-lives in the slow-growing marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus.
• Whole genome amplification and de novo assembly of single bacterial cells.
• Choreography of the transcriptome, photophysiology, and cell cycle of a minimal photoautotroph, prochlorococcus.
• Modeling the fitness consequences of a cyanophage-encoded photosynthesis gene.
• The challenge of regulation in a minimal photoautotroph: non-coding RNAs in Prochlorococcus.
• Patterns and implications of gene gain and loss in the evolution of Prochlorococcus.
• Prevalence and evolution of core photosystem II genes in marine cyanobacterial viruses and their hosts.
• Three Prochlorococcus cyanophage genomes: signature features and ecological interpretations.

Sure she does publish in some other places but does publish a lot in PLoS and other Open Access journals. If you get the job, maybe you can convince her to move more towards publishing everything in Open Access journals --- her stuff is very cool --- the more of it that is Open Access the better ...
