Description
The research project aims to study malaria parasites and the immune responses of the human host using advanced transcriptomics, epigenetics, cell biology, and proteomics techniques based on samples from naturally infected individuals. We are particularly interested in the maternal-fetal interface where the pathogen sequesters, as well as the association between parasite persistence in the placenta and long-term modulation of neonatal and childhood immune cells.
We are looking for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher in computer science to join this ANR-funded project. The objective will be to highlight epigenetic, transcriptomic, and functional changes in immune and placental cells. This position offers the opportunity to conduct innovative research in a supportive and inclusive environment within a collaborative and multidisciplinary research team.
You have developed the following skills:
• PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, or a related field.
• Solid experience in single-cell transcriptomics and experience with data analysis tools.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as R or Python.
• Experience with high-performance computing environments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
• Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the research environment.
You demonstrate the following personal qualities:
• You have the ability to work in a team and are a good listener.
• You are highly rigorous and have strong organizational skills.
• You are contentious.
• You are curious and take initiative.
