Offer Description

We seek a motivated individual to join us as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, embarking on an ambitious project aimed at enhancing our understanding of human immunoglobulin genes.The postdocs’ primary focus will be on developing computational pipelines to assemble and annotate these genes , tasks that present unique and challenging opportunities due to the large structural variations within these loci. Despite their critical importance, the extensive variability of immunoglobulin genes has not been fully recognized within the immunological community, yet it has profound implications for antibody structure and function, with direct relevance for autoimmunity, infectious diseases, and vaccine development.

Additionally, the postdoc will engage in other projects, including the analysis workflows of high-dimensional single-cell sequencing and multi-omics data. We foster an environment that values creative freedom, encouraging our postdocs to pursue innovative ideas and approaches.

The ideal candidate possesses a solid foundation in bioinformatics, including proficiency in programming languages such as Python and R, and comfort working within a Linux environment. A background in genetics and experience with Oxford Nanopore sequencing technologies will be considered an advantage. We also welcome applicants with a strong biology background and foundational programming skills who are eager to enhance their computational skills.
