Dear all,
A postdoctoral position (see attachment) is available for a highly
motivated PhD that wishes to join the Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics
(http://fukslab.ulb.be/ ) headed by Prof. François Fuks (ULB-Cancer
Research Center, Brussels). The research goal will be the analysis of
transcriptomic and epigenomic changes (/e.g./ DNA methylation, histone
modifications) that arise in cancers. Particularly the analysis of next
generation sequencing data concerning a novel RNA epigenetic
modification, which our lab recently investigated, will be one of the
main challenging tasks of the candidate (Delatte et al., Science 2016).
He/she will also participate in several projects with high impact factor
publication potentials.
The host lab is running a Next Generation Sequencing platform
(http://epics.ulb.be/) and the candidate will have the opportunity to
analyse many types of sequencing methods (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, RIP-seq,
CLIP-seq, Oxford Nanopore, … ), while having a direct interaction with
the wet lab biologists generating the data. The host lab is part of the
ULB-Cancer Research Center (U-CRC) (http://ucrc.ulb.be/), providing a
high profile scientific environment. The candidate will join other
experienced bioinformaticians working on transcriptomics and
epigenomics, and collaborate with bioinformaticians from our university,
as well as with other institutes from Belgium and abroad.
The candidate should hold a PhD (or about to be obtained) in
bioinformatics, bio-engineering, biomedical sciences or eventually in
engineering or computer sciences and demonstrate proficiency in
statistics and programming (/e.g./ R, python). Experience with sequence
data, genome-wide data sets (/e.g./ ChIP-seq, RNA-seq ...) or massive
datasets analysis will be assets. The applicant should have good
organizational skills, a taste for interdisciplinary research, excellent
scientific writing and presenting skills and be able to work
independently. The interaction with the biologists in the lab will be
key for the success of this project and genuine interest for biology and
clinical researches is required. A good biological background will be
valuable. This position is funded for 2 years, with the possibility of
further renewal. Screening of applications begins immediately and
continues until an outstanding candidate is selected (flexible starting
date).
Please send a motivation letter, a CV and names of two referees to
Martin Bizet (mbizet at ulb.ac.be)
