Location: Heidelberg, Germany Staff Category: Staff Member Contract Duration: 3 years Grading: 4, 5 or 6, depending on experience and qualifications Closing Date: 10 April 2016 Reference Number: HD_00832 Job Description The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy). EMBL is seeking a highly motivated bioinformatics engineer to work in the group of Prof. Matthias Hentze. The research focuses on the discovery of novel RNA-binding proteins and identifying their role in health and disease. The group uses new next-generation sequencing and mass-spectrometry-based technologies to identify and functionally characterize RNA-binding protein targets. The successful applicant will be involved in the computational analysis and interpretation of these data. She/he will create workflows based on existing tools and further develop analysis methodologies in order to translate novel data types into biological discoveries. The successful candidate will be the bioinformatics keystone of a research team, collaborating closely with experimentalists that produce large amounts of data. This position is tightly embedded in the overall research of the lab and will make crucial contributions to the scientific outcomes. The position provides a unique opportunity to acquire practical data science skills that are in high demand and to develop a career in cutting edge bioinformatics services and infrastructures. The position will be supported by a senior bioinformatics postdoc in the lab and will be complemented by an excellent network of bioinformaticians as well as computational and scientific facilities at EMBL.

Two postdoctoral positions are available at the new Clinical Bioinformatics lab at Imagine Institute for Genetic diseases, headed by Dr. Antonio Rausell. Job description Imagine is an interdisciplinary research center focused on human genetic diseases located at the Necker Hospital campus in the heart of Paris. Imagine is affiliated with the Université Paris Descartes (Sorbonne Paris Cité), the INSERM French National Institute for Medical Research and the Paris Public Hospitals Group (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris). Imagine has recently launched a new research Laboratory in Clinical Bioinformatics under the direction of Dr. Antonio Rausell. The laboratory develops statistical methods and bioinformatics pipelines with a clinical focus on the following two main research lines: 1) Computational assessment and prioritization of human rare genetic variants with a potential clinical impact and application to disease-specific sequencing projects. Both coding and non-coding variants will be considered. The work will integrate large-scale genome/exome sequencing, transcriptomes (RNA-seq), high-throughput proteomics (mass spectrometry), immune phenotyping and clinical datasets both from public and in-house sources. Development of predictive tools will include machine-learning techniques such as Bayesian classifiers and SVMs. The goal is implementing software to help decision-making at the clinic. 2) Statistical analyses of high-dimensional single-cell data of human cells (mainly single-cell RNA-seq) with a focus on immune disorders and susceptibility to infectious diseases. Computational methods will be developed to cope with different noise sources and complex experimental designs: e.g. multiple conditions/stimuli and time points, simultaneous analyses of host and intracellular pathogens and several read-outs from the same cells, e.g.: genome and transcriptome, transcriptome and proteome, etc. The goal is the identification of cell markers with clinical value for diagnosis and treatment. In this context, the Clinical Bioinformatics lab is hiring two postdocs with complementary expertise in order to i) take the lead in one of the two previous research lines, ii) being able to assist the other line with specific skills if needed, and iii) set up the suite of common data and pipelines to build the core’s lab. As someone said before: “we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do”. [More]
