Description
The Lavial Lab is seeking a talented postdoctoral scientist with strong background in bioinformatics to explore the cellular trajectories of oncogenic transformation and reprogramming in vivo. We recently developed a series of cellular and mice models to conduct multi-omic comparative analyses (see Huyghe A. et al., Nature Cell Biology 2022) (https://www.crcl.fr/en/citi-department/reprogramming-stem-cells-and-oncogenesis/ - Lyon university).
The candidate will integrate a dynamic and stimulating environment at the cancer research center of Lyon (CRCL). He/she will work in direct collaboration with the bioinformatics department on site (https://www.crcl.fr/en/platforms/gilles-thomas-bioinformatics-platform/ ).
Skills:
- The candidate will have experience in omics data analysis (with diploma in bioinformatics or biology). He/she will be able to work with R software (CRAN/Bioconductor) and will be ideally familiar with another language like Bash or Python. A previous experience in analyzing high-throughput sequencing data (RNA-seq/ATAC) will be an asset, as well as knowledge for single cell data analyses.
- Autonomy and ability to drive the project
- Organization and team player
- Excellent communication and writing skills
- Fluency in English
