[BBC] Bioinformatics Post-doc Position

[Gaurav Dube]

 BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC for EPIGENOMICS

*Job description**: *

A *postdoctoral *position is available for a highly motivated researcher
that wishes to join the Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics headed by *Prof.
François Fuks* (ULB-Cancer Research Center, Brussels). The research goal
will be the analysis of transcriptomic and epigenomic changes (*e.g.* DNA
methylation) that arise in cancers. Our major focus is particularly on the
analysis of next generation sequencing data concerning a novel RNA
epigenetic modification, which our lab recently investigated, will be one
of the main challenging tasks of the candidate (Delatte et al.,* Science
2016*). He/she will participate in several projects with high impact
publication potentials.



*Working environment:*

The candidate will have the possibility to analyse many types of sequencing
methods (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, RIP-seq, CLIP-seq, Oxford Nanopore, …), while
having a direct interaction with the wet lab biologists generating the data.
The host lab is part of the ULB-Cancer Research Center (U-CRC) (
http://ucrc.ulb.be/), providing opportunity to interact with high profile
scientific community. The candidate will *join other **experienced
bioinformaticians* working on transcriptomics and epigenomics. The lab has
collaborations in Belgium and abroad, while being international, the
working language is English.



*Profile:*

The candidate should hold a PhD (or submitted) in bioinformatics,
computational biology, bio-engineering or computer sciences. He/She should
demonstrate proficiency in statistics and programming with R, Python,
and/or Bash. Pipeline development and automation will be a plus. Experience
with next-generation sequencing (esp. RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) and clinical data
will be assets. The applicant should have good organizational skills, a
taste for interdisciplinary research, excellent scientific writing and
presenting skills and abilty to work independently and with team. The
interaction with the biologists in the lab will be key and genuine interest
for biology and clinical researches is required. This position is *funded
for 2 years*, with the possibility of further renewal. Screening of
applications begins immediately and continues until an outstanding
candidate is selected (*f**lexible starting date*).



*How to apply?*

Informal enquiries, a motivation letter, a CV and names of two referees
should be sent to: Gaurav DUBE (Gaurav.Dube at ulb.ac.be)
