Bioinformatician (80% 100%; Part Time Or Full Time Employment Possible)
Lausanne, Switzerland
Job Description
\\nIntroduction
The University of Lausanne Center of Integrative Genomics (CIG) is a vibrant, well-funded institute with a focus on functional genomics and equipped with modern core facilities (see ). It is embedded in the broader Lausanne research environment that includes two universities (UNIL, EPFL), the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, the Vital-IT high-performance computing center, Ludwig Center for Cancer Research, university hospital, and a cluster of biotech companies flourishing in the larger Lake Geneva area.
Presentation
Our lab at the Center for Integrative Genomics (CIG) of the University of Lausanne is part of the NCCR RNA & Disease research network. Research in our lab and in the network at large has a strong focus on experimental RNA biology, which in many projects includes a variety of -omics approaches (RNA-seq, ribosome profiling, proteomics, etc.). The successful candidate will take a central role in providing computational support for Lausanne- and Geneva-based research groups of the network (50% position) and, depending on his/her desired employment level, will have an additional engagement specifically for projects in the Gatfield group (additional up to 50% position). The focus of our group\\\'s research lies on translational regulation and circadian clocks.
He/she will be located at the CIG and embedded in an environment that is both close to experimental labs and rich in bioinformatics expertise and resources, such as the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) and the Vital-IT high-performance computing center.
He/she will be involved in exchanges with other bioinformatics support sites of the NCCR in Basel, Bern, and Z\\xc3\\xbcrich (see ) and actively participate in scientific events of the NCCR (e.g. annual retreat, Swiss RNA Workshop) and of the CIG/SIB. He/she may be involved in training researchers bioinformatics skills.
