This position involves developing and applying statistical and computational methods for analysis of high-throughput omic data in clinical studies applied to immunology. The position is located in the Biostatistics unit (head: Daniel Commenges, former editor of Biometrics) in Bordeaux (France) with a strong collaboration with Prof Yves Levy?s team (Henri Mondor, Paris, France) and Jacques Banchereau (Baylor Institute for Immunnology, Dallas, Texas). The work will be done inside an important program for vaccine development in AIDS research funded by the French National Agency for AIDS research (ANRS) and will involve data from several clinical trials. An example of dataset to analyse consisted of repeated data of gene expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells after a vaccination of HIV-1 infected patients with ex-vivo generated dendritic cells loaded with HIV-1 lipopeptides in addition to antiretroviral treatment. The position requires the availability to visit collaborators in United States at the Baylor Institute and other relevant teams to learn the current knowledge on the topics and bioinformatics methods. The work will be devoted to the development of statistical methods and the analysis of omics data in the Biostatistics unit (Bordeaux, France) in close collaboration with the above mentioned teams. The ideal candidate would have a Ph. D. in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computer science, or statistical genomics, published research in bioinformatics or related areas, and excellent programming skills. Experience with one or more of the following is a strong plus: data analysis in immunology, high throughput data analysis, bioinformatics software development. The work will involve both methodological research with department faculty and collaboration with subject matter researchers.
