Description

Postdoctoral position in Bioinformatics/Single Cell Biology, ERC-funded project

Applications are invited for a junior postdoctoral position at the Neurocentre Magendie in
Bordeaux, France (https://neurocentre-magendie.fr) in an ERC-funded project.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the Energy Balance and
Obesity research team in the Inserm Unit U1215.
The research focus of the team is to study the neurobiology of obesity and diabetes. The
project aims to elucidate the molecular and functional heterogeneity of hypothalamic
neuroendocrine neurons using state-of-the-art single cell molecular and functional profiling
methods.
Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree or have submitted their thesis at the time of
application. The ideal candidate will have experience in computational analysis of genomic
data, machine learning for biological applications and biostatistics. However, we will also
consider applicants from computer science, physics and mathematics with experience in
machine learning or big data problems and a strong interest in single cell biology. Candidates
with a PhD in a biological or life science discipline and programming skills in a relevant
bioinformatics language (Python, R, etc.) are also invited. Candidates will also be expected
to write manuscripts, give research presentations and be involved in the day-to-day running
of the laboratory. The ability to work both independently and in a team is essential.
Preferred start date is September 2024, but can be negotiated. The initial contract will be for
2 years, but may be extended up to 5 years.

Candidates should send their CV, letter of motivation, list of publications and at least 1 letter
of reference to Dr Carmelo Quarta (carmelo.quarta@inserm.fr).
