Position in bioinformatics for an 18-month period starting in September

The laboratory Mathématique, Informatique et Génome (MIG) from the French National Institute for Agriculture Research located at Jouy-en-Josas in the suburb of Paris is looking for a highly motivated bioinformatician.

Project and context:

The applicant will take part in a project (Computational Biology for
Metagenomics Experiments -- CBME) that aims at providing some basic
elements and tools to design appropriate metagenomics experiments and
to produce new bioinformatics and statistical methods for analyzing
the data produced by metagenomics analyses. This project is general
and not devoted to a specific metagenomics experiment. However it will
benefit from the participation of members of the project to specific
ongoing metagenomics studies in different ecosystems. MIG is involved
in the metagenome projects MicroObes (Human Intestinal Microbiome in
Obesity and Nutritional Transition) and METASOL (soil metagenomics
project). Further details about the project are available at
http://genome.jouy.inra.fr/~gibrat/CBME.doc

Qualifications and experience: Applicants should have:
- a doctoral degree in bioinformatics or computer science with a
knowledge of genomic applications
- strong programming skills
- facility of communication with scientists from various disciplines
(biologists, mathematicians, bioinformaticians) and teamwork.

Prior experience in genome or metagenome data analysis is an
advantage. In particular, knowledge in DNA sequence assembly and
mapping techniques would be appreciated.

Salary:

Post-docs will be hired through fixed-term contracts in accordance
with the relevant French legislation. The stipend will be about 2200
Euros/month for a junior post-doc, and will increase with previous
experience.

Application: Please send a detailed CV with references and a covering
letter to:
Dr Sophie Schbath (Sophie.Schbath@jouy.inra.fr)
AND
Dr Jean-François Gibrat (Jean-François.Gibrat@jouy.inra.fr).
