Bioinformatician (Genomics Unit)
IMPPC
Genomics Unit Overview
The Genomics Unit at the Institute of Predictive and
Personalized Medicine of Cancer (IMPPC) serves as internal core facility addressed
at fulfilling the genomics needs from institute researchers and collaborators.
It has its own line of research focused on genomics technology development. The
IMPPC is a new independent non-profit-making research centre founded by the
Generalitat of Catalonia (Autonomous Government). The activities of the IMPPC
are directed at the development of the necessary tools to make the concept of
Predictive and Personalized Medicine in the field of cancer a reality.
Objectives:
• To provide bioinformatic support to processing
and statistical analysis of genomics data derived from massively parallel
sequencing, microarray, genotyping and high throughput qPCR technologies.
• To implement and develop bioinformatic tools to identify
molecular changes which serve as biomarkers of cancer and other diseases.
Main
areas of research:
1. Bioinformatics
and genomics technology development
2. Cancer
genomics and epigenomics
3. Biomarker
discovery and predictor development for cancer risk assessment
Requirements:
• MSc or PhD in Bioinformatics (with relevant experience,
degrees in Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Medicine,
Mathematics, Statistics or Computer Science will be considered)
• Programming skills in biocomputing and statistical
languages (perl, R or related)
• Demonstrated experience in microarray, genotyping or
sequence data analysis.
• Formal training or experience in molecular biology,
epidemiology, oncology, biostatistics, and/or bioinformatics a plus
• The candidate should be highly motivated, with excellent
communication skills, sufficiency in English, ability to interact with
researchers from different fields, and to work as part of a team.
Principal
Investigator:
Lauro Sumoy
Conditions
offered:
• Full time 3 year contract, core funded, with possibility
of extension
• Competitive salary according to qualifications and
experience
• Support from a new scientific institution devoted to high
quality research in the fields of genetics and epigenetics of cancer
• Interaction with other leading cancer research groups
• Interaction with other bioinformatics groups within and
outside of the institution
• Possibility for career advancement and attendance to
specialized training courses
