Description

The Saclay Plant Sciences network (SPS) gathers around 55 research teams specialized in plant sciences belonging to 5 institutes in the Saclay area (south west of Paris) and represents about 700 people. The current research activities of the SPS partners concern the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms that control plant physiology and development, as well as their interactions with fluctuating biotic or abiotic environments. These studies extend from the gene to the entire plant, and use the concepts and tools of biochemistry, biophysics, imaging, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, modelling and bioinformatics. Data analysis and research in bioinformatics and bio-statistics is currently carried out by 25 permanent bio-informaticians and statisticians in the 5 institutes.

Tasks and responsibilities

The main mission is to provide support to Research Units for the bioinformatics and/or biostatistics analysis of their data. This support includes:

• advising and guiding the implementation of methods and tools for the analysis of biological data
• maintaining an active bibliographic survey and evaluating published tools and methods
• developing, when necessary, new analytical methods and tools
• analyzing data in collaboration with the Units
• ensuring the transfer of tools and expertise to the Units
• delivering training courses in bioinformatics and biostatistics
• maintaining the methods and tools developed by the Units, and ensuring their integration into core software solutions like Snakemake or Nextflow

Job profile

• Analysis of HTS data (variant calling, genome assembly, differential expression, epigenomics…)
