The CRG is composed of an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team supported by a flexible and efficient administration and high-end innovative technologies.
We are looking for a bioinformatician to join the 'Evolutionary Processes Modeling' group. We use computational analysis of sequencing data together with population genetics predictions and statistical modeling to answer questions about mutational processes and selective pressures in cancer tumors. The candidate will analyze tumor sequencing data, develop a computational pipeline, and test biological hypotheses.
About the group Cancer is a genetic disease, subject to population genetics forces like mutation, selection, and stochasticity. Our group is particularly interested in how the evolution and survival of cancer cell populations relies on mutation influx as well as in selection inference from observed mutation data. To this end, we develop mathematical and computational approaches to estimate mutation rates and selection.
Minimum Requirements You have experience with computer programming.You have used bioinformatics methods for the purpose of sequencing data analysis.You should have a master's degree in bioinformatics, mathematics, physics, computer science, or a related discipline.You are fluent in English.You must be able to program in Python.You should have experience with working on a cluster.You have good communication skills.The Offer – Working Conditions Contract duration: Technical and scientific activities contract with an estimated duration of 11 months.
