Date limite de publication : 2020-06-01
Contexte :
2 postdoc positions in machine learning and statistics are immediately available at the Brain-C Lab in the Institute of Biology Paris-Seine (see http://www.ibps.upmc.fr/en/research/biological-adaptation-and-ageing/brainc).
The positions are supported for 2 years with possible renewal for a third year.
Postdoc position 1 is focused on probability and statistics.
Postdoc position 2 is focused on bioinformatics and programming.
Sujet :
The successful applicants will work on modeling the molecular pathogenesis of Huntington’s disease (HD) on a system-level via the analysis of high-dimensional genomic data (eg, RNA-seq data) in collaboration with mathematicians and bioinformaticians inside and outside the team. We use several types of machine learning methods to address key questions about the rules that govern the progression of HD over time and the therapeutic implications of such knowledge.
Profil du candidat :
The candidates are expected to be highly qualified, independent and highly motivated with a strong interest in research.
Strong writing (scientific publications) and presenting (scientific ongresses) skills are mandatory.
Previous knowledge of the basic principles in genomics and molecular biology will be a plus.
Formation et compétences requises :
Postdoc candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Probability and Statistics (Position 1) or a Ph.D. in Informatics or in Physics (Position 2).
Candidates that hold a diploma from high profile Engineer Schools (e.g. Ecole Polytechnique, Supelec, Centrale, INSA, EPFL, ETZ) are welcome to apply.
Candidates should have no more than 1-2 year postdoctoral experience if already working in France, and no more than 3-4 years of such an experience if working abroad.
Postdoc position 1:
Demonstrated experience and autonomy in probability and statistics for the analysis of complex datasets (probabilistic models, R).
Good autonomy in machine programming (in at least one the following languages: Python, C/C++, Java)
Skills in database management are desirable but not mandatory.
Postdoc position 2:
Demonstrated experience and autonomy in programming (in at least one the following languages: Python, C/C++, Java) and database languages (MySQL)
Good autonomy in statistical modeling (probabilistic models, R)
Skills in web technologies (javascript, Php) are desirable but not mandatory.
