In India there are many universities/colleges offering Bioinformatics both at under graduation level and post graduation level. As part of their curriculum students has to do both summer training and project work.

According to IDC, bioscience includes pharma, Bio-IT (bioinformatics), agriculture and R&D. IDC has been reported that the pharmaceutical firms and research institutes in India are looking forward for cost-effective and high-quality research, development, and manufacturing of drugs with more speed.

Biotech research generates such massive volumes of information, so quickly that we need newer and swifter ways of crunching the deluge of data (much of it hopelessly jumbled) churned out by the research labs. Mining, digitising and indexing this enormous quantum of data requires high-end computational technology and sophisticated software solutions.

Bioinformatics now looks like a hot cake. Prognosis..Good, very good in U.S.A alone. The number of jobs advertised for bioinformatics in Science magazine from 1996 to 1997 increased by 96% bioinformatics job advertisements. Masters students salaries range between $40,000 to $65,000 for persons with top masters training.

OFFERING OF A 4 YEAR PHD SCHOLARSHIP IN BIOINFORMATICS IN TARRAGONA (SPAIN)
The research group SIPOMICS (SIgnal Processing for OMIC Sciences) is seeking candidates to grant a 4-year PhD scholarships at the Electronic Department of the Rovira i Virgili University of Tarragona (Spain). The scholarship is to be funded between October 2009 and September 2013.

Career Outlook
Enormous volume of data has been generataed and will be generated in the post genomic era through research including genomics, proteomics, structural biology and dynamics of macromolecular assemblies. All these information will be help better understanding of biology and of disease and an improved ability to design targeted drugs. But manipulation and interpretation of [...]

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Biology / Bioinformatics Description : A postdoctoral Research/Visiting Fellowship in Computational Biology / Bioinformatics is available in Raja Jothi’s laboratory at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Jothi’s lab is interested in elucidating the dynamics of genes/proteins in protein-protein interaction and gene regulatory [...]

PhD Position in Evolutionary Genomics, Canada
Applications are sought from outstanding candidates for a PhD position in evolutionary genomics of antibiotic resistance. This work is part of a Canadian Institutes of Health Research funded study to investigate the persistence of resistance to fluoroquinolone antibiotics in Pseudomonas aueruginosa infections associated with cystic fibrosis. The project demands a [...]
