Post-doctoral fellowship in the field of Bioinformatics of high-throughput DNA sequencing at Institut Pasteur, Paris, France (24 months).
Study subject: Next Generation DNA Sequencing Data Analysis for genome-wide studies of chromatin modifications induced by a bacterial pathogen.
This project is funded by the French National Research Agency and is a collaboration between 4 laboratories, each with different specialities: bacterial infectious diseases (Unité des Interactions Bactéries-Cellules, Institut Pasteur), structural biology (Institut de Biologie Structurale, CEA, CNRS), epigenetics (Centre d’Epigenetique et Destin Cellulaire, Univ. Paris Diderot) and Next Generation Sequencing (Plate-forme Transcriptome et Epigenome, Institut Pasteur).
The successful applicant will be in charge of the development and use of methods for handling, analyzing and interpreting large-scale DNA sequences data from the human genome (ChIP-Seq and MedIP-Seq) as well as multiple genomic datasets.
We expect a candidate with a PhD in statistics, mathematics or bioinformatics. He/She should be able to treat questions related to statistical signal processing (normalization and noise treatment). Although programming is not the main goal of this post-doc, a good level in programming languages (JAVA, Perl, Python, R) is required. Some knowledge of gene expression and molecular biology is not mandatory but would be highly appreciated.
The candidate will integrate the "Transcriptome and Epigenome" team of the Institut Pasteur Genopole and will work in close proximity with biologists. As a postdoc, he/she is expected to be able to work fairly independently. However, communication skills and team spirit are essential for this position.
Duration : 24 months
Start : January 2012
Salary : depending on qualifications
