Description
Position: Bioinformatic engineer
Location: Laboratory of Gael Cristofari, Institute for Research on Cancer and Aging of Nice (IRCAN) at the University Cote d’Azur (Nice, France)
Contract: 1-year contract with possibility of extension
Context
The position is funded by Inserm (French National Institute of Health and Medical Research) in frame of its cross-cutting program on Genomic Variability. Our team studies mobile element insertions, also known as transposable elements, and their role in generating genetic variations among humans. We developed an integrated database that provides a curated catalogue of such genetic variants, named euL1db, and accessible through a web interface. It plays an essential role to interpret whole genome sequencing experiments in the context of research or personalized medicine. Since its original design, massive amounts of new data sets have been publicly released and need to be curated and incorporated into the database. To achieve this, the infrastructure needs to be redesigned and optimized on both the server- and client-sides.
