11 Apr '20

Dear colleagues, Due to COVID-19 the ISMB 2020 conference will take place 100% online using a virtual platform. Join us online for the Computational Mass Spectrometry (CompMS)COSI session on July 15, 2020. With COVID-19 disrupting the world as we know it, we know how important it is to continue the exchange of science in these trying times. Therefore, the ISMB conference, the world's largest bioinformatics/computational biology conference, is going virtual so that you can still enjoy all of our great scientific content. We hope that you will take advantage of this situation by sharing your work with colleagues all over the world. The CompMS COSIpromotes the efficient, high quality analysis of mass spectrometrydata through dissemination and training in existing approaches and discussion of new, innovative approaches. The CompMS initiative aims to exploit synergies between different application domains, in particular proteomicsand metabolomics. Date: July 15, 2020 (CompMS COSI) / July 13–16, 2020 (ISMB) Website: https://www.iscb.org/ismb2020 Key dates April 16, 2020: Abstract submission deadline May 14, 2020: Talk/poster acceptance notifications May 28, 2020: Late poster submission deadline June 4, 2020: Late poster acceptance notifications July 13–15, 2020: virtual ISMB conference Call for proposals Submit your abstract to ISMB to present your work to a global bioinformatics/computational biology audience. Attend the virtual CompMS session to learn about the latest algorithmic advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and metabolomics. Please remember to select the CompMS COSI as your session of interest upon submitting your abstract.

Ce mail pour signaler que nous avons repoussé au 31 Mai la date limite pour déposer un dossier pour la Direction du Hub de l’Institut à Pasteur, cf. ci-dessous. A une « prochaine », bien amicalement, Olivier Gascuel MERCI DE DIFFUSER CE MAIL !! CHANGEMENT DE DATE LIMITE : 31 MAI 2020 Direction du Hub de Bioinformatique et Biostatistique de l’Institut Pasteur https://research.pasteur.fr/fr/team/bioinformatics-and-biostatistics-hub/ Le Hub de Bioinformatique et Biostatistique de l’Institut Pasteur, lancé en 2015, regroupe cinquante ingénieurs de recherche. Trente appartiennent au Hub Core et travaillent essentiellement sur les projets déposés par les Unités de recherche de l’institut. Vingt sont mis à disposition des Unités et Plateformes pour des périodes longues, mais conservent une affiliation à 20% au Hub pour la formation, les échanges et l’animation scientifique. Le Hub est une composante du Département de Biologie Computationnelle de l’Institut Pasteur (C3BI jusqu’en 2019, USR 3756 avec le CNRS - Directeur Olivier Gascuel). Le Hub est structuré en sept pôles experts (web, algorithmique et programmation, statistique, génomique, régulation, phylogénétique, biologie des systèmes). Les projets traités sont très divers en durée (de quelques jours à plusieurs années) comme en nature (analyses de données, bases de données, logiciels, interfaces et serveurs web, etc.). Près de 400 projets ont été traités par le Hub depuis sa création, ayant donné lieu à plus de 150 publications dont certaines dans Nature, Science ou PNAS. Le Hub a également une mission de formation (doctorants, chercheurs, réseau international) et il prend une part active dans la vie du Département de Biologie Computationnelle (séminaires, projets collaboratifs, retraite annuelle). L’Institut Pasteur recherche un/une Directeur/Directrice pour le Hub, avec un fort profil : * Haut niveau scientifique et reconnaissance internationale en bioinformatique et/ou biostatistique. * Expérience démontrée dans la gestion de plateformes de bioinformatique. * Capacité et motivation pour gérer l’ensemble du Hub et pour manager l’équipe (forte charge RH, recrutements, détachements, évolution des carrières, projets nombreux, facturation des services, enseignement et formation, animation et structuration scientifique...). * Capacité à jouer un rôle moteur dans l’évolution du Hub (veille technologique, formation permanente des personnels, transformations des modes de fonctionnement et de gestion des projets…). * Capacité à interagir avec les instances clefs de l’Institut Pasteur (Direction, DSI, Départements scientifiques, Plateformes, Centre Nationaux de Référence (CNR)...) et avec le Département de Biologie Computationnelle et ses Unités de recherche. * Capacité à assurer les liens avec les structures nationales (IFB, France Génomique, AVIESAN…) et internationales (ELIXIR) de bioinformatique. Au-delà de ces tâches et fonctions, le/la Directeur/Directrice du Hub sera encouragé/e à développer des activités propres de recherche et développement en relation étroite avec le campus et ses besoins, en mettant en place un nouveau pôle expert au sein du Hub. Seront notamment favorisés les thèmes liés : aux bases de données et de connaissance biomédicales ; à l’analyse, au partage, à la protection et la valorisation de ces données et connaissances ; à la science des données et à l’intelligence artificielle et leurs applications en biologie-santé. Il/elle aura sur ce thème une expertise reconnue et sera un point focal pour l’institut pour tout ce qui touche à la thématique. Il/elle assurera avec les ingénieurs de son pôle la mise en place de programmes, systèmes et infrastructures (en lien avec la DSI) bénéficiant au plus grand nombre au sein de l’institut et dans le réseau international. Pour candidater, envoyer à mona.ramadan(a)pasteur.fr avant le 31/05/2020 (document pdf unique, caractères 11 points minimum, interligne 14 points minimum) : (1) Résumé de la candidature, 1 page maximum ; (2) CV détaillé, 4 pages maximum ; (3) Motivations et projets pour le poste, 5 pages maximum ; (4) Liste de publications, brevets, logiciels et bases de données ; (5) Coordonnées de référents que nous pourrons contacter pour obtenir des avis sur la candidature.
