One-year position for a bioinformatician / computational biologist in population genetics

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:19:02 -0600

The successful candidate will work as support staff mainly in the development, application and maintenance of pipelines for handling large omics datasets (including whole-genome sequences, high-density genotypes and mRNA sequences). These pipelines cover pre-processing of data, statistical analyses and genome bioinformatics. The postholder will also provide support in producing high-level graphic representations of
these data and of results from their analysis. Our team is part of UMR
7268 ADES research unit (Anthropologie bio-culturelle, Droit, Ethique
et Sant=E9), located at the Timone Faculty of Medicine (Aix-Marseille
University, 13005 Marseille).

JOB QUALIFICATION
- PhD/Engineer/MSc in bioinformatics, biostatistics, genetics/genomics
or any related field.
- Advanced knowledge of Bash/Perl scripting and job management on a Unix
HPC and in at least one basic language for data
manipulation/statistics (such as R/Python/Matlab) are required.
- Knowledge of at least one programming language (e.g. C), experience
processing -omics data or skills in advanced graphical representation
of data would be a plus.

DURATION
1 year, not extensible

SALARY
Gross salary is commensurate with experience and grade (MSc from
1,882=80/month and PhD/equivalent from 2,099=80/month).

APPLICATIONS/OPENING
Please send a motivation letter, a CV and the names of two referees to
pierre.faux@univ-amu.fr. The expected starting date is April 1st, 2021;
the job offer will however remain opened until the position is filled.

Genetics for Fun and Profit: Andrew Hessel at TEDxVilnius

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:15:06 -0500

Andrew Hessel co-chairs the Bioinformatics and Biotechnology track at the Singularity University, an institution founded by futurist Ray Kurzweil and X Prize Foundation CEO Peter Diamandis, with sponsorship from world-leading organizations that include Google, Autodesk, and NASA. He is also the founder of the Pink Army Cooperative, a venture aiming to make open source personalized cancer therapies. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Futurist Magazine, H+, and Wired News. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

The mission of our lab is to develop and apply new technologies and methods for genetics, genomics and molecular biology. Most of our work exploits next-generation DNA sequencing which is effectively emerging as a broadly enabling microscope for the measurement of biological phenomena. Our ongoing work generally falls into six areas. These are listed below as links to representative publications in each area.

Developing New Molecular Methods

Genomic Approaches to Developmental Biology

Massively Parallel Functional Genomics

Translating Genomics to the Clinic

Genetic Basis of Human Disease

Genome Sequencing Technologies

Scientific Interests:

Models and software for predicting who is at risk of carrying genetic variants that confer susceptibility to cancer. Application to breast, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic and skin cancer.

Statistical methods for the analysis of high throughput genomic data: analysis of cancer genome sequencing projects; integration of genomic information across technologies; cross-study validation of genomics results.

Statistical methods for comparative effectiveness research: comprehensive models for lifetime history of chronic disease outcomes; Bayesian meta-analysis; Bayesian causal inference; decision analysis.

Bayesian modeling and computation: multilevel models; decision theoretic approaches to inference; sequential experimental design and their application to adaptive and multistage studies in clinical and epidemiological research.
