Job Offer: Postdoctoral Position in Bioinformatics

(posted on 05/26/24)

Duration: 2 years
Location: CRIStAL Laboratory, Bonsai Team, Lille, France
Collaboration: This project is financed by Inserm and involves collaboration with i2bc Laboratory at Paris-Saclay and IRMB U1183 in Montpellier.

Project Title: ESCALATE

Project Description:

The ESCALATE project aims to advance cancer research by developing new methods to process and analyze RNA-seq data at the nucleotide level, enabling more detailed analysis than current gene-level summaries. This will allow researchers to identify novel RNA biomarkers and tumor-specific antigens across extensive datasets. With its innovative reference-free indexing and querying tools, ESCALATE will help uncover unique molecular changes in cancer, enhancing our understanding of the disease.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and optimize algorithms and data structures scalable fine grained RNA quantification. Collaborate with partner labs to integrate and apply new methods in cancer research.

Required Skills:

Expertise in sequence bioinformatics. Proficient in development using compiled languages such as C, C++, or Rust. Strong background in data structures and algorithm design.
