The successful applicant will join a interdisciplinary team 

of clinical oncologists, geneticists, molecular biologists and 

bioinformaticians passionate about basic cancer research and 

its applications in the clinic. He/she will tackle the integrative 

analysis of massive breast cancer genome, methylome and 

transcriptome data sets generated using cutting edge 

microarray and next generation sequencing platforms. The 

project addresses both clinical and fundamental problems 

related to breast cancer progression. 

 

Only applicants with demonstrated proficiency in 

programming, and statistics and/or machine learning will be 

considered. Experience with sequence data, genome-wide data 

sets and demonstrated interest in oncogenomics will be assets. 

We highly value creativity and autonomy. 

 

Please, e-mail PDFs of 1) a cover letter explaining why you 

are skilled and motivated for the job, 2) your CV with the 

contact of three qualified referees, and 3) a copy of your
