Bioinformatics Specialist

About the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine

We are a leading research centre at the University of Luxembourg, conducting cutting-edge research in Systems Biology and Biomedicine.

Our team is made up of talented scientists from various disciplines: computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists and clinicians. We work together to advance our understanding of complex biological systems and develop innovative solutions for diseases.

Your Role

We seek a highly motivated bioinformatician or computational biologist to join our team on a project focused on the analysis of large-scale biomedical data related to neurological disorders. The ideal candidate will have expertise in statistical and machine learning methods for data analysis, as well as experience with bioscientific programming.

The successful applicant will conduct integrative analyses of biomedical datasets, with a focus on omics data, including implementing and applying software analysis pipelines and interpreting disease-related data in collaboration with experimental and clinical teams. Bioinformatics analyses guided by prior mechanistic knowledge will be conducted, exploiting known grouping structures among features in the omics data using dedicated approaches for structured data analysis.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement data analysis pipelines for large-scale biomedical data
• Apply statistical and machine learning methods for data interpretation
• Collaborate with experimental and clinical teams to integrate findings

Requirements:

• PhD or equivalent degree in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational biology, machine learning or related fields
• Prior experience in large-scale data processing and statistics/machine learning
• A track record of previous publications in bioinformatics analysis of large-scale biomedical data
• Demonstrated skills and knowledge in next-generation sequencing data analysis, biostatistics, machine learning, pathway/network analysis

Benefits

• Competitive salary: EUR 83,099 per year (full-time)
• Modern and dynamic university environment
• Opportunities for professional growth and development
