10 Permanent Positions in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics at Institut
Pasteur (Paris)
Bioinformatics, biostatistics and integrative biology have emerged as
strategic priorities for the Institut Pasteur. A new "Center for
Bioinformatics, Biostatistics and Integrative Biology" (C3BI -
https://c3bi.pasteur.fr) has been created in 2015 on the Parisian
campus. The objective of this center is to federate and strengthen
capacities in bioinformatics and biostatistics in the different
research areas developed within the institute around biology and
health.
Within this framework and after 28 recruitments since 2014, Institut
Pasteur proposes again ten permanent positions in bioinformatics and
biostatistics for 2017. Successful applicants will be affiliated to the
C3BI and to the Hub of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics and will be
supervised by the director of the Center. They may be assigned for most
of their time to other research units and/or technological platforms
within Pasteur. Additionally, the positions also foresee teaching
activities both at Paris and in the Institut Pasteur International
Network.
TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The main objective is to provide support to research units and
platforms at Institut Pasteur for the analysis of their data using
bioinformatics and statistics approaches. This support will be provided
in various ways:
* advising and guiding in the use of existing methods and tools
* maintaining an active bibliographical survey and evaluating existing
tools and methods
* developing new methods and tools when needed
* collaborating with research units and platforms to analyze their data
* helping, defining and implementing collaborative projects such as
ANR, ERC, etc.
* transferring knowledge and tools towards research units and
platforms, and providing training in bioinformatics and biostatistics
* supporting and maintaining methods and tools developed by research
units, and ensuring their integration within open platforms such as
Galaxy, ;
* actively participating in the implementation of the web portal of the
