Description

Expected Responsibilities & Activities of the candidate:
- Use and adapt existing pipelines and develop novel computational methods and tools to analyze complex RNAseq, ExomeSeq, TCRseq, scRNAseq and spatial multiplex datasets.
- Implement computational methods to calculate cell-cell proximity metrics and infer cell neighborhoods from raw data of multiplex-immunofluorescence tumor tissue staining as well as spatial transcriptomics data.

The duties also include:
- Keep abreast of emerging methods in computational biology/bioinformatics, including non-supervised analysis of high-plex immunohistochemistry (IHC).
- Interact with the immunologists of the team to optimize the design of dry experiments and best adapt the analysis pipelines
- Drive the bioinformatics expertise in the team and provide mentorship for students, Engineers and technicians, with possibility to manage a group of 2 to 3 persons according to experience
- Contribute to data synthesis and to the writing of papers
These responsibilities will be adapted to the candidate’ background and experience

Skills and qualifications
- PhD with a solid background in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology or Systems Biology (>2 years of postdoctoral experience would be a plus)
- Experience in utilizing JAVA, Python and R programming languages as well as bioinformatics pipeline development (prior experience in working with high dimensional omics datasets is a real plus)
- Ability to be inventive, to solve problems and present novel ideas in method development and data analysis
- Ability to work independently while being able to communicate effectively and evolve in a multidisciplinary research environment
- Knowledge of tumor immunology will be considered as a plus.
- Broad knowledge of biostatistics (from signal analysis to survival analyses)
- Fluency in written and spoken English.
