Main activities :

The projects of interest for this application involve research in translational bioinformatics in complex human neurological disorders. Analysis of RNA-seq datasets will provide fundamentals for the identification of pathological processes (see Grassivaro et al. J. Neurosci. 40, 2020; Severa et al. J. Autoimmunity 101 : 1, 2019; Srinivasan et al. Neurology : Neuroimmunol. Neuroinflamm. 4 (3) : e337, 2017) and machine learning-based biomarker selection for disease diagnosis and prognosis (see Acquaviva et al. Cell Report Medicine 1, 2020).

Who we are looking for :

You have a PhD in Computational Science, Bioinformatics or equivalent, and expertise in analysis and modeling of human RNA-seq data, statistics, data mining and machine learning. Advanced knowledge of R and excellent communication skills in English (written and oral) are a must. Flexibility and willingness to work across multiple projects and technologies in a rapidly evolving scientific context is required.

Work details :

• Type of contract : Collaboration;
• Salary will depend on qualification and experience;
• Starting date : immediate;
