Ouattara, douattara@gencovery.com<mailto:douattara@gencovery.com> 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 collaborative software suite, ConstellabTM, designed to handle complex omics data and analytical pipelines. Generated in silico models, called digital twins of cell metabolism, 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 scientist in systems biology and cell metabolism modelling to develop and manage its modeling pipelines. Required qualifications * You have a PhD in systems biology and/or bioinformatics * You have a strong expertise in the modelling of cell metabolism, modelling of the metabolism of microbial communities (e.g. whole-genome metabolic modelling, metabolic network reconstruction, flux balance/variability analysis, cell metabolic interactions, keystone species analysis, etc.).
