*Bioinformatician*

Starting date : as soon as possible.

Term: November 2014

Salary : 2200 euros / month

Location : Cayenne (French Guiana)

Institution : Institut Pasteur de la Guyane

Laboratory : Virus-Host interactions

Address: Institut Pasteur de la Guyane, BP6010, 97306 Cayenne cedex
(French Guiana)

*Job description and working environment*

The Institut Pasteur de la Guyane (IPG) is recruiting a bioinformatician
for a maximum 26-month period, depending on starting date, to work on
the EU-funded STRonGer project (http://www.pasteur-cayenne.fr/stronger)
which aims to conduct research on emerging and infectious diseases in
French Guiana. The position can start as soon as possible and will
remain open until filled. The post-holder will be under the supervision
of the Virus-Host Interactions laboratory (LIVH). He/She will work
closely with researchers, PhD students and post-doctoral fellows at the
LIVH and the Parasitology laboratory. These teams undertake
pluridisciplinary research (ecology, population genetics, evolution and
resistance to therapeutics) on infectious and emerging diseases from
viral (rabies, hantavirus in wild mammals) and parasitic origins
(/Plasmodium/ in humans). He/She will also work in close collaboration
with the sequencing platform and the bioinformatics service at the
Institut Pasteur de Paris.

*Objectives*

The applicant will be responsible for the management and analysis of
high-throughput sequencing data generated within the context of two
projects at the IPG:

-Viral Biodiversity Project (LIVH lab): he/she will be involved in the
analysis of high-throughput sequencing data to characterize the viruses
found in three bat species. He/she will undertake basal treatment of raw
sequences (validation, cleaning, assembling) and comparison to those
already available in databases. He/She will work in close collaboration
with lab members.

-Malaria Resistance Project (Parasitology lab): he/she will participate
in the comparative analysis of 20 Plasmodium genomes (genomic diversity,
population analysis, SNPs calling) of isolates from French Guiana with
the aim to find new genetic markers of antimalarial resistance. In close
collaboration with lab researchers, a particular attention will be paid
to the validation and expertise of the results.

*Requirements*

-Master's degree or equivalent

-Proven experience in the treatment of NGS data

-Good knowledge of Unix environment.

-Practical knowledge of Perl, Python ...

-Good knowledge of public databases and bioinformatics tools

-Ability to understand biological issues and capacity to propose
bioinformatics solutions.

-Communication skills, team working

-Ability to work autonomously, organizational skills**

-Fluent in English. French will be a plus.

*Please send a CV and a cover letter to the project manager:*
