Good knowledge and experience in Computational Biology topics both as a user of bioinformatics tools (to analyze genetic data) and as a developer of software/scripts to accomplish data analysis. Preferred programming languages include Python, R and C. Prior experience with the analysis of genotypic data from plants is required.

The Research and Innovation Centre (CRI) of the Fondazione Edmund Mach pursues scientific research, develops biotechnologies, and promotes innovation for agriculture, bioeconomy, ecology, biodiversity, the environment and food. The Centre focuses on basic and applied research on: (i) strategic supply chains of the Trentino agrosystem; (ii) forest and alpine ecology; (iii) biodiversity evolution and conservation; (iv) effects of climate change on natural and agro ecosystems; (v) bioeconomy, (vi) agrobiotecnology. The multidisciplinary functionality of the Center is guaranteed by the matrix organization and the transversal integration of the 21 Units and 21 Technological facilities on 4 thematic areas, namely Agrosystems and Bioeconomy, Biodiversity, Ecology and Environment, Food and Nutrition and Computational Biology. The technological platforms are operated by highly qualified personnel and cover Plant Phenotyping, Sequencing and Genotyping and Metabolomics. The Centre is equipped with a High-Performance Computing Facility with 376 cores and over 7.5TB of RAM (up to 2TB per node) and over 100TB of dedicated storage. The Centre hosts three major germoplasm banks, namely:Grapevine germplasm collection that includes species of the genus Vitis, cultivars of V. Vinifera subsp. Sativa, V.V. Subsp. Sylvestris and interspecific hybrids;Apple germplasm collection that includes species of the Malus genus, cultivar of M. X domestica, M. Sylvestris, M. Sieversii, M. Orientalis and interspecific hybrids;Berries germplasm collection that comprises species of the Vaccinium genus, such as V. Corymbosum, V. Angustifolium, V. Virgatum, V. Myrtillus, V. Vitis ideae, V. Macrocarpon and hybrids, Rubus, Fragaria x ananassa, Ribes and other minor crops.
