[mbizet]

Dear BBC members,

we have a position at the "Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics", ULB, 
Brusels, Belgium, for a highly motivated post-doc bioinformatician. 
Please find the annoucement in attachment and also hereafter.

Best regards,

OPEN BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC POSITION 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, bioengineering 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 (flexible starting date).

How to apply?
Informal enquiries, a motivation letter, a CV and names of two referees 
should be sent to:
