Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented bioinformatician (Master or Phd level) to join our team investigating the effects of malaria parasites on erythropoiesis with a focus on single-cell transcriptomics data. This project aims to uncover the complex interactions between malaria parasites and red blood cell production, providing insights that could lead to new therapeutic strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the data analysis of human and parasite single-cell transcriptomics data from in vitro and in vivo samples.
  • Develop and implement computational pipelines for the analysis and interpretation of high-throughput sequencing data.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, including biologists, bioinformaticians, and clinicians.
  • Contribute to the preparation of manuscripts, grant proposals, and presentations.
  • Mentor graduate students as needed.

 

 

Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, or a related field. A PhD is not an absolute requirement if there is signigicant experience. 
  • Strong background 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 the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in english.
  • Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the research environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in erythropoiesis or malaria.
