Université de Liège (Belgium)
Developing predictive biomarker for CIDSEVERAL POSITIONS AVAILABLE IN THE LABORATORY OF ANIMAL GENOMICS, GIGA-MEDICAL GENOMICS UNIT
The Unit of Animal Genomics (UAG) is an internationally acclaimed research group, headed by Michel Georges, 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 (www.giga.uliege.be/cms/c_20639/fr/unit-of-animalgenomics-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 (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:
- 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.
- Bioinformaticians and statistical geneticists in medical genomics:
To join the IBD genomics team (Dr. Souad Rahmouni) 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.
- Bioinformaticians and quantitative geneticists in livestock genomics:
To join the animal genomics teams (Dr. Carole Charlier and Dr. Tom Druet) 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.
We offer
- A high profile research project, fully financed by highly competitive grants
- A modern, international and well-equipped research environment with state-of-the-art technological platform
- An attractive salary in an affordable, lively and welcoming environment.

University of Cambridge (Great Britain)
Investigating multi-omics signatures from purified immune cells to predict outcome of CIDResearch Associate (Fixed Term)
Applications are invited to apply for a Post-doctoral Research Associates to join Professor Ken Smith's laboratory, based within the Department of Medicine. This post will be focussed on investigating whether transcriptional variance in CD8 T cells from individuals with differing inflammatory bowel disease prognoses can be attributed to differences in the DNA methylome.
The ideal candidate will have a PhD (or equivalent, or have recently submitted) in a relevant biological subject, together with proven expertise in molecular biology, cellular immunology and bioinformatics. Experience with MACS-based cell separation from blood, DNA methylation analysis, mRNA/miRNA transcriptomics and multi-parameter flow cytometry would be desirable. Organisational skills and the ability to work as part of a team, as well as independently, are also essential.
Informal enquiries may be directed to Professor Ken Smith or Dr Paul Lyons while the application should be submitted before March 12th directly via the University jobsite only.
