The ICER is a research center composed of the following three programs: 1. The Malaria Research and Training Center ­ Parasitology Group,  2. The Malaria Research and Training Center ­ Entomology Group  3. The SEREFO Group.

The first two programs develop biomedical researches in malaria, Filariasis and Leishmaniasis. The  third program develops biomedical researches in tuberculosis and HIV.

Bioinformatics was introduced recently to the ICER and is constantly growing. The ICER has one  team, headed by Sidy SOUMARE, which supports the three programmes in all their needs in  informatics and bioinformatics. This team can beneficiate from some computational facilities (4  blast servers, 15 other servers and around 200 terminals), but the ICER staff needs some training in  order to be able to administrate these facilities.

Research Interest and Activities: The following are the present areas of research interest: 1. Functional genomics 2. Analysis of microarray data 3. Interaction between the vector and the parasite.

As these positions are funded by the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) priority will be given to South African citizens and permanent residents however exceptional applicants who do not fulfil these criteria may be considered.

Applications including a CV outlining your experience together with a cover letter detailing why you are a suitable candidate should be sent to simon_at_sanbi.ac.za by 30th September 2013.

Offer
We offer a full-time contract for two years. The contract starts between October 2021
and December 2021. The position involves no or extremely light teaching load, if the
candidate is interested. Salaries are competitive at the European level. The recruited
person will benefit from the Belgian social insurance scheme (health care, etc.) without
additional expenses.

Profile
Applicants are expected to show outstanding commitment to research and must have
obtained a PhD by the start of the position. A strong expertise in genomics is required.
More specifically, solid competences in bioinformatics (e.g. scripting pipelines) and in
genome evolution are needed. Knowledge or interest regarding recombination,
metazoan evolution, phylogenomics and population genomics is an added-value.

Application
Applications should be submitted via email to karine.van.doninck@ulb.be. The
application package should contain the following documents:
- A curriculum vitae with the complete list of publications
- A cover letter mentioning why the candidate is interested in the position
- Minimum 2 recommendation letters
Interviews: Interviews will be conducted with the selected candidates. Selected
candidates could also be invited to give a seminar to MBE ULB.
For any additional information, please contact karine.van.doninck@ulb.be

The group is both computational and experimental.

We ask biological questions to large datasets made using novel genomics techniques, with the help of computers. One of the strengths in the group are the many connections to high-profile experimental laboratories which supply data to be analyzed.
