Description

We are seeking a high-level computer scientist with experience in bioinformatics, solid programming skills and knowledge in 3D protein structures. Machine learning skills and knowledge of Web development are a plus. Good interpersonal skills, ability of communication and documentation of the results are also important.
Our project aims to develop and integrate bioinformatics tools for predicting protein aggregation and co-aggregation, followed by large-scale screening of microbial proteomes against the human proteome. This position is open for up to three years and funded by ANR project “Development of a computational approach to study the mechanisms of microbe-induced amyloidosis”.
We plan to hire a postdoc of typically less than 2 years after PhD defense. This position is open for 12 months with the possibility of a further two-year extension.
The researcher will benefit from an exceptional environment thanks to the presence of numerous leading international researchers. Montpellier is a nice city located in the South of France, just next to the French Mediterranean coast. It is a high-tech center with a range of specializations including but not limited to biology, health, agriculture, and information technology.
