About the position

Post-doctoral researcher in bioinformatics processing and statistical analysis of omics data

• In the context of the PsyCARE project (www.psy-care.fr), our team explores the molecular underpinnings of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, such as psychotic disorders, schizophrenia and more specifically the processes underlying the emergence of psychosis in vulnerable subjects.

• We are recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary project in Epigenomics of Psychiatric Disorders using multi-omics approaches with the aim of identifying new biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.
The position is based at the IPNP, renowned for its expertise in translational psychiatry and neuroscience. The team works in a collaborative environment, within a national and international network involved in major consortia. The candidate will have access to cutting-edge technological platforms and unique clinical resources.
