The CNAG (www.cnag.eu) has a park of twelve second generation DNA sequencers supported by an extensive informatics infrastructure, and is one of the major Genome Sequencing Centers in Europe.
The CNAG is actively involved in collaborative research projects on a number of specific topics: Disease Gene Identification, Cancer Genomics, Genomics of Infectious Diseases, Model Organism Genomics and Synthetic Biology Genomics of Model Organisms. In addition, we participate in several consortia of networked projects such as the International Cancer Genome Consortium and EU-funded projects such as RD-CONNECT, READNA, AIRPROM, ESGI, BLUEPRINT, IBD-Character and BBMRI-LPC.
We seek a post doctoral researcher in data mining with a strong computational and biological background to exploit the data produced in BLUEPRINT and IHEC.
The successful applicant will be closely involved with the BLUEPRINT project (http://www.blueprint-epigenome.eu/), mainly in the roles of data analysis and interpretation but also in areas such as the database.
The analyst will report to the Biomedical Genomics Team Leader and Director of the CNAG, Ivo Gut, and must be able to work independently on his/her specific tasks and as part of a team integrating a system.
The initial duration of the contract is for two years with a possibility of extension.
