Looking for a Bioinformatics scientist in systems biology and modelling * Company: Gencovery * Website: https://gencovery.com * Starting date: January 2021 * Contact: D.A. Ouattara, douattara@gencovery.com<mailto:douattara@gencovery.com> * Closing application date: 31 Nov. 2020 Description of the company GENCOVERY is a software company based in Lyon (France) which develops a collaborative AI software to accelerate bioengineering and bioproduction processes of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The developments of the company are focused on two axes: a collection of algorithms for the construction and simulation of cell metabolic models, and a software suite designed to handle complex omics data and analytical pipelines. Generated in silico models, called digital organisms, can be used to simulate experiments and assess biological hypothesis, thereby significantly shortening time and cost of in vivo and in vitro experiments. The company is looking today for a talented Bioinformatics scientist in systems biology and modelling to develop and manage its bioinformatics and modelling pipelines. Required qualifications * You have a PhD in bioinformatics, systems biology or computational biology * You have 2-5 years of experiences in academia or industry in bioinformatics, systems biology or computational biology. * You have a strong expertise in the modelling of biological networks, in particular metabolic pathways (e.g. metabolic reconstruction, whole-genome metabolic modelling, flux balance analysis). * You have a good experience in the analysis of at least one type of omics data (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics data).
