The Institut Pasteur is hiring
group leaders for its new
Center of Bioinformatics, Biostatistics
and Integrative Biology (C3BI)

The new direction of the Institut Pasteur has defined Bioinformatics, Biostatistics and Integrative Biology as strategic priorities. A new center (C3BI) to foster research in these domains was set up in 2014. Substantial resources were allocated for the creation and development of the C3BI, with the recruitment of 40 research engineers in bioinformatics and biostatistics between 2014 and 2017. A building will be renovated on the Paris campus to house the C3BI.

In this context, the Institut Pasteur is looking for several new senior and/or junior group leaders in bioinformatics, biostatistics and integrative biology, with a strong methodological component. The main focus is on computational and statistical analysis of biological “big data”, typically produced by new generation sequencing and -omics technologies, but all modeling and computational approaches of biological questions closely connected with Institut Pasteur research areas are eligible. Highly attractive packages to match the experience of the candidate will be provided, including institutional salaries (principal investigator, permanent scientists, secretary and postdoctoral fellows), a substantial contribution to running costs and equipment, as well as support for relocation expenses and administrative issues.

Candidate’s profile
Successful candidates will possess the following qualifications:

PhD with a minimum of 6 years of research experience Recognized scientific leadership in bioinformatics/ biostatistics Broad experience in methodological development for the analysis of various types of data Consistent publishing record of cutting edge research as senior/ first author Significant experience in managing and mentoring scientists, and in designing, financing and executing an innovative research program Demonstrated ability to collaborate with experimental and computational biologists

Application web site (forms and documents to be filled and uploaded):

Deadline: September 20, 2015 midnight CEST

Further information on the institute and C3BI can be found at
http://www.pasteur.fr and https://c3bi.pasteur.fr/

Short-listed candidates will be invited for interview in October 2015, and results will be announced by mid-December. The new research groups will start by early 2016 (the precise date is negotiable).

Informal inquiries can be addressed to Olivier Gascuel
(Head of C3BI – C3BICall2015@pasteur.fr)
