[BBC] vacancy bioinformatics senior researcher viroscience

[Bas E. Dutilh]

Genomic epidemiologist/ Bio-­‐informatician  Senior Researcher D

Job description At the department of Viroscience we study how the
interactions between  viruses,  human  and  animal  hosts  and
 environment,  and  changes thereof impact  on  global  human  health.
Understanding  virome  diversity  and evolution are essential and
increasingly important areas of expertise. We look for an experienced,
enthusiastic bio-­‐informatician to develop an ambitious genomic
epidemiological / bioinformatics research agenda aligned with the goals of
the department.  The initial work will be funded through EU funded projects
(H2020 project COMPARE, www.compare-­‐europe.eu and VIROGENESIS,
http://www.kuleuven.be/english/research/EU/p/horizon2020/sc/sc1/Virogenesis).
You will lead the Erasmus MC participation in the COMPARE project,
contribute to the research profile of the department by writing grant
applications and papers, and by providing training and support of PhD’s and
post-­‐docs in data analysis.

The Department of Viroscience (http://virosciencelab.org/) at Erasmus MC
employs more than 130 persons of different disciplines, and runs an
extensive experimental research program on the epidemiology, pathogenesis,
prevention and treatment of viral infections of global importance for human
and animal health. The two research pillars   focus   on   viral
infections   in   the   population   at    risk   for   severe consequences
(immune-­‐compromised, elderly, young), and on emerging (zoonotic) viral
diseases. As WHO collaborating center and national and European reference
center   for   influenza,   emerging   viral   infections,   and   measles,
our work   is internationally  focused.  Under  the  same  roof  is  a
 large  diagnostic  unit,  which services the hospital as well as clinics
and general practices. The department  is equipped  with
 state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art  BSL2  and  3  laboratories,  and  clinical  and
experimental virology labs, in which all the virology, molecular biology,
pathology, and immunology techniques necessary for these projects are
operational. Erasmus MC has extensive capacity for NGS on multiple
platforms combined into a genomic core facility coupled with decentralized
platforms for experimental work.   Qualifications and skills We are looking
for a senior scientific researcher with an excellent  track record in
genomic epidemiology/bioinformatics, a  clear vision of the potential
contribution of NGS/bioinformatics to the mission of the department,
experience in managing a team of both research and service staff, and
experience in operating in an international context.  To be appointed you
must be able to obtain a certificate of good conduct.
Terms of employment The gross monthly salary amounts a maximum of €
5.914,-­‐ (scale 13), depending on your level of education  and  relevant
 experience  and based on a full-­‐time working week of 36 hours. The terms
of employment are based on the Collective Bargaining Agreement for
University Medical Centers (CAO UMC).
