Job Description:
For its new Bioinformatics Core Facility, the center is currently looking for a dynamic and highly motivated Scientist in Bioinformatics. The candidate will perform informatics to solve biological questions and will be involved in: -Building and applying bioinformatics pipelines in order to analyze high-throughput sequencing data such as whole-genome, whole-exome, methylation and RNA data. -Guiding biologists in analyzing their own data and performing statistical tests and pathway analysis. -Exploring public available databases. -Working with and managing big data. -The creative visualization of the results. -Using and maintaining high performance computing clusters. DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: -You have obtained a Masters degree in bioengineering, computer science, (bio)informatics, mathematics or related field. -You have good communication skills and can work easily together with other (international) team members. -You have a passion for bioinformatics and the motivation to work on innovative and ambitious projects in an open, dynamic and skilled research team. -You have experience with Linux systems, bash, R, and statistics. -Experience with high-performance computing, (multivariate) statistics, data analysis, Bayesian statistics, machine learning, data visualization and big data management are an important asset. -Knowledge of Linux, databases, BioConductor, Python or related programming languages and basic system administration skills are considered a plus. -Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
