The research of this laboratory focuses on the study of the molecular organization of cells, encompassing the structure of proteins and their assemblies, their evolution, their interactions, the dynamics of their interaction networks, as well as their regulation. The selected person will have the mission to contribute to the academic research of the laboratory. The main tasks include leading ambitious research projects, promoting the organization of the laboratory, perpetuating existing know-how, and supervising and guiding new students. As a scientific expert, we are looking for a person who: Possesses proven expertise in large-scale computational analysis of protein structures (experimental and predicted) and omics data (proteomics, phosphoproteomics, transcriptomics) Has a solid understanding of the experimental methods associated with omics approaches and structural biology Knows in depth protein-protein interactions and their networks, including phosphorylation (e.g., kinase-substrate interactions), as well as the methods to characterize them Has a strong publication record Perfectly masters English Has experience in supervising students at Bachelor, Master and Doctoral levels. Required Title and Skills ----------------------------- The candidate must hold a doctorate in bioinformatics, molecular biology or a related field and have at least 5 years of experience in research, academic or industrial, after their doctorate. It is essential to possess proven expertise in the large-scale computational analysis of protein structures, experimental (PDB) and predicted (AlphaFold), as well as omics data (proteomics, phosphoproteomics, transcriptomics). The candidate must also have a solid understanding of the experimental methods associated with omics approaches and structural biology (for example mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy), in order to evaluate the quality and limits of the data they analyze. The position also requires in-depth knowledge of protein-protein interactions and their networks, including phosphorylation (kinase-substrate interactions), as well as methods to characterize them (affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry, yeast two-hybrid, phosphoproteomics). Excellent mastery of programming for the analysis of large volumes of data, notably in Python or R, as well as machine learning methods, is expected. The candidate should have experience in supervising students at Bachelor, Master and Doctoral levels, and must demonstrate a strong ability to communicate in English and to write scientific articles.
