The new direction of the Institut Pasteur has defined Bioinformatics, Biostatistics and Integrative Biology as strategic priorities. A new center (C3BI) to foster research in these domains was set up in 2014. Substantial resources were allocated for the creation and development of the C3BI, with the recruitment of 40 research engineers in bioinformatics and biostatistics between 2014 and 2017. A building will be renovated on the Paris campus to house the C3BI. The aim is to facilitate collaborations in bioinformatics and biostatistics, to support and develop training in these fields, to encourage interactions between all the Institut Pasteur teams, and to stimulate the development of new computational and statistical approaches for biological data analysis and modeling. Currently, the C3BI comprises 8 research units, 2 of which were recently created, and a bioinformatics platform with 30 engineers providing services to the campus. In this context, the Institut Pasteur is looking for several new senior and/or junior* group leaders in bioinformatics, biostatistics and integrative biology, with a strong methodological component. The main focus is on computational and statistical analysis of biological "big data", typically produced by new generation sequencing and -omics technologies, but all modeling and computational approaches of biological questions closely connected with Institut Pasteur research areas are eligible. Highly attractive packages to match the experience of the candidate will be provided, including institutional salaries (principal investigator, permanent scientists, secretary and postdoctoral fellows), a substantial contribution to running costs and equipment, as well as support for relocation expenses and administrative issues.
