CNG/CEA recrutes a bioinformatician for computational epigenetics

The National Center for Genotyping (CNG in French) is located in the French Genopole, in Evry, near Paris. This research center is involved in major national and international research projects to study complex diseases according to different biological views (genetic, transcriptomic, epigenetics, ...) using high-throughput technologies (high density microarrays, NGS). The important flow of the biological data produced in the center implies automated data processing pipelines and the application of complex and integrative bioinformatics methods. To strengthen its bioinformatics team, the CNG is immediately recruiting a qualified bioinformatician. This position will be integrated into the laboratories of Epigenetics and Functional Genomics to analyze data produced by last generation sequencing and epi-genotyping technologies. The position will require the following activities: - Project Management - Data processing: filtering, normalization, pre-processing and development of automated pipelines. - Analysis of data: biomarker discovery, construction of predictive models, analysis of biological networks. - Data integration: Combining data from multiple platforms, integrative biological models. Type of contract: Fixed term contract Salary: according to candidate's experience. Education: PhD required in any of these area : Biostatistics, Bioinformatics or Computer Science with some basic knowledge of genetics. Qualifications: - Skills in Machine Learning. - Basic knowledge of biology and genetics. - Knowledge of standard bioinformatics softwares and methods for the analysis of microarray or NGS data. - Proficiency in R environment with Bioconductor packages. - Proficiency in Unix / Linux environment. - Proficiency in at least one scripting language (shell, perl, python) and in programming (Java, C, ...). - Good knowledge of statistics is a plus. - Fluent English is a plus.
