Dear AnGenMap members,
The Unit of Animal Genomics (UAG) is an internationally acclaimed research
group, headed by Michel Georges (michel.georgesuliege.be), whose 20
members develop and use state-of-the-art genomic and analytical tools to
dissect the molecular basis of complex traits of medical, agricultural and
fundamental importance in humans and animals
(http://www2.giga.uliege.be/...omics-home).
The UAG is part of the GIGA biomedical research institute counting more
than 500 scientist that are active in the neurosciences, cancer biology,
inflammation-infection-immunity, stem cell biology, medical genomics and
bioengineering (http://www.giga.uliege.be). GIGA is located in the gorgeous Sart-
Tilman campus of the University of Liège.
The Unit of Animal Genomics seeks to hire highly motivated and
enthusiastic:
1. Computer scientists: To provide assistance to the UAG team in
administering their high-performance computing facilities, installing and
updating software, developing and maintaining databases, training the lab
members in IT, develop analysis pipelines and contribute to data analyses.
Formal training in informatics and/or extensive IT experience is essential.
Prior experience in bioinformatics and/or biostatistics are an advantage.
2. Bioinformaticians and statistical geneticists in medical genomics To
join the IBD genomics team (Dr. Souad Rahmouni: srahmouniuliege.be) and
participate in the analysis of the CEDAR dataset, i.e. a unique cohort of
500 individuals that are deeply phenotyped at the genome, transcriptome and
microbiome level in multiple immune cell types and intestinal locations
with the aim to identify variants, genes and pathways underlying inherited
predisposition to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (f.i. Huang et al. Nature
2017; Momozawa et al. Nat Commun 2018). We welcome applications at the PhD
and postdoctoral level. Prior experience in informatics, statistics and/or
genetics are an advantage.
3. Bioinformaticians and statistical geneticists in livestock genomics To
join the animal genomics teams (Dr. Carole Charlier:
carole.charlier@uliege.be and Dr. Tom Druet: tom.druetuliege.be) and
participate in the analysis of the DAMONA and CAUSEL datasets, i.e. unique
cohorts of > 1,000 animals that have been whole genome sequenced, to
identify variants, genes and pathways influencing agriculturally important
phenotypes, to study the process of de novo mutation, recombination, gene
conversion and transposon mobilization in the bovine germ line, and to
develop novel approaches towards genomic selection. We welcome applications
at the PhD and postdoctoral level. Prior experience in informatics,
statistics and/or genetics are an advantage.
Please directly contact Souad Rahmouni, Carole Charlier or Tom Druet for
more information.
With kind regards,
Carole
