Subject: Fw: Recrutement bioinfo, suite... avec description du poste !


Job Purpose
===========

The Bioinformatics group within the R&D of GSK Biologicals is currently
seeking a highly motivated scientist-bioinformatician to be involved in
cutting-edge research comprising data analysis and interpretation of
microarray data, as well as investigating systems biology approaches
relevant to the field of vaccines.

The ideal candidate will have an interdisciplinary background in biology
and bioinformatics/computational biology, particularly in the analysis
and interpretation of microarray and/or proteomics data, working  
knowledge
of statistical and machine learning data analysis methods, the
reconstruction of signaling networks, computational network inference
from experimental expression data, and the integration of public data
sources/biological ontology to enable systems biology research.


Responsibilities
================
The job involves:
- Performing data analysis of µarray experiments, and collaborating
with molecular and cellular biology and immunology for their biological
interpretation
- Using available methods, or developing new ones, to make sense of
gene expression data in terms of signaling pathways, expression
regulatory networks and modules, transcription factors activation.
- Technology watch to stay up-to-date in this rapidly moving field
- Sharing expertise and know-how
- Driving contacts with external colleagues and academic research.
- Reporting on progress and results to the research project teams.

Profile
=======
- A PhD in Life Sciences or Computer Sciences or equivalent;
familiarity with immunology would be a plus.
- Expertise in data analysis and statistics, especially machine
learning methods, more generally computational biology.
- Expertise in using genome wide approaches to study transcriptional
regulation and signaling pathways; experience in computational
network inference and modeling would be a plus.
- Familiarity with processing of gene expression microarray data
(QC, normalization, etc ), preferably with R+Bioconductor
- You are willing to learn everyday, you are open, creative, you can  
work autonomously.
- You have excellent communication and organizational skills.
- You are fluent in English (oral and written).
