Postdoctoral Position in Statistical Genetics: The Institut Pasteur invites applications for a postdoctoral position within the Statistical Genetics unit of the Department of Computational Biology. The position focuses on addressing methodological challenges in the analysis of large multidimensional data in genetics and genomics.
- Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
- Research Area: Statistical Genetics
- Location: Institut Pasteur, Paris
- Eligibility/Qualification: Applicants should possess a doctoral degree in Statistics/Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or other relevant disciplines with a strong quantitative research background. Practical experience working with large-scale genetic datasets, developing new methods, and producing high-quality published work are desirable.
- Job Description: The selected candidate will work closely with Dr. Hugues Aschard, head of the unit. They will lead the implementation and contribute to the development of novel approaches to identify the genetic and molecular pathways underlying lung phenotypes. The project uses an unprecedented collection of blood and lung transcriptomic and proteomic data, along with new metabolomics data, and a far-ranging collection of lung-related genetic datasets including individual-level data from six deeply phenotyped cohorts. It is part of a large international collaboration co-led by the unit and Dr. Michael Cho’s team at the Brigham & Women Hospital in Boston, USA, who has unique expertise in the genetics of lung diseases. The position is fixed-term for 2 years, renewable for one more year. The salary range is between 3,300 to 4,000 euros (before tax) per month, depending on the candidate’s experience.
- How to Apply: Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae, a cover letter detailing research experience, and contact information for three references to Dr. Hugues Aschard (hugues.aschard@pasteur.fr).
- Last Date for Apply: Applications will be considered until the position is filled. However, applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
