BACKGROUND

The bioinformatics research and core facility platform at the TAGC/TGML in Luminy, Marseille is seeking a person with strong software engineering and development experience to integrate and further improve bioinformatics tools developed at TAGC.

What we offer:
The TAGC (http://tagc.univ-mrs.fr) is located at the heart of the research campus of Marseille-Luminy, France. It unites research & development with a NGS-sequencing and bioinformatics core facility, providing high-quality service for biologists.

The TAGC is developing its bioinformatics platform with the support of the French Institute of Bioinformatics (IFB (http://www.france-bioinformatique.fr/en), the national service infrastructure in bioinformatics, and the French node of the European research infrastructure, ELIXIR). We seek an experienced software engineer to help conceptualize, organize and improve the software developed and used in the laboratory. As the recruited teammate, you will have an expert role in the laboratory, bringing knowledge of standards and best-practices in code development to build a coherent software environment.

Joining TAGC, you will have the opportunity to learn and work with different approaches in bioinformatics analysis and integration of large-scale data. We offer a vivid and interactive research environment, with half of its researchers working on bioinformatics algorithm development, the other half working in wet lab science. Four dedicated core facility persons provide support to our costumers in sequencing and data analysis.

REQUIREMENTS

Who you are:
You have a strong background and interest in software engineering and development, ideally - but not necessarily - combined with prior knowledge in bioinformatics. You are familiar with all major programming languages, including Python, Perl, Java and C, and will be proficient in at least one of them. Furthermore, you are experienced in web-programming. You are either trained as a computer scientist or computational biologist. A PhD is a benefit, but not a must: working experience in a software- development dedicated environment will be seen as equivalent qualification.

The working language at the TAGC is English and a good knowledge in spoken and written English is a must.

TERMS

Contract: 2 years
Starting date: Fall 2016

COMPENSATION

Monthly salary: ~ 2000EUR , based on public research engineer salary, according to diploma and experience.

HOW TO APPLY

If you are interested, please send your application (motivation letter and CV) with two referee contacts to: Bianca Habermann, bianca.habermann[at]univ-amu.fr
