Description:

Project: A two-year position is immediately available in the Brain-C Lab in Paris for a bioinformatician at the Study Engineer (IE) level (post-master position). The selected candidate will work with a team of mathematicians, bioinformaticians, and neurobiologists on modeling time- and cell-resolved omics data to built computational models of molecular pathogenesis in neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), integrate data from other diseases such as Huntington’s disease (HD) and disseminate data via online platforms. The selected candidate will use BioGemix, our post-omics machine learning platform and related databases. This position is a unique opportunity to further develop expertise and skills in a multidisciplinary team and network of direct collaborators that cover systems modeling, database development, and cellular neurobiology for breakthrough in neurodegenerative disease research.
