CDI/PERMANENT POSITION
We are looking for a BIOINFORMATICS SCIENTIST for the development of innovative bioinformatics approaches for drug discovery in the oncology field
GENERAL SUMMARY:
We are looking for a motivated scientist to join a fast-paced, collaborative, and multidisciplinary Bioinformatics team and contribute to our collaborative drug discovery projects, by developing innovative computational approaches, data visualizations, in support to oncology multiomics projects
MISSIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Supporting project teams in analysing large scale omics datasets, and providing relevant insight through visualizations and interpretation of results.
- Research and development of novel algorithms and techniques for analysis and visualization of omics data (Transcriptomics, Genomics, Proteomics, etc.)
- Development of high-quality tools for data analysis and automatic
processing of data - Working with researchers in interdisciplinary project teams to
explain the results of your analysis and give advice on experimental design - Presenting your results in customer meetings
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES:
- Enthusiasm for visual analytics and data science
- Experience with analysis of omics data, in particular in oncology, in particular transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics and other high-dimensional datasets (ChIP-seq, etc.)
- Knowledge of databases (i.e. oncology databases) and experience with high-performance computing environments
- Demonstrated strong programming skills in R, skills in other programming languages such as Python, Java, or C++ is a plus
- Experience in the use of classical statistical methods and modern concepts, such as Bayesian statistics, bootstrapping and machine learning
