Post-doctoral position in bioinformatics applied to HRMS exposomics

We are offering an exciting postdoctoral position at the Environment and Health Research Laboratory (French School of Public Health, Rennes Frances) to develop a comprehensive and user-friendly automated pipeline for suspect (SS) and non-targeted screening (NTS) data processing using high-resolution mass spectrometry datasets. More specifically, the postdoc will work on developing a computational tool for HRMS data pre-processing and features annotation, e.g. inspired from the Workflow for Metabolomics W4M/Galaxy user friendly environment. This position is part of the European Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (#EU_PARC). This major project including 200 partners in 28 countries and at EU level, national agencies and research organisations working in the areas of the environment or public health, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Environment Agency (EEA), is seeking to develop next-generation chemical risk assessment in order to protect health and the environment. We seek a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with a PhD in the area of informatics / bioinformatics applied to omics sciences such as HRMS exposomics, with experience and demonstrated success of working independently and as part of a team. Essential skills for this job include experience in informatics/bioinformatics, program coding skills (R, python). Desirable experience include skills in HRMS software (e.g., XCMS, MS-DIAL) for data pre-treatment and marker annotation.  The successful candidate is expected to start the 1^st March 2024. The closing date for applications is 31 January 2024. Please submit a single PDF containing your current curriculum vitae (including list of publications), contact information for three professional references, and a cover letter describing your interest in the position and how your qualifications meet the criteria outlined above to Dr Arthur David and Dr Sarah Lennon (arthur.david@ehesp.fr, sarah.lennon@univ-rennes.fr). Interested applicants can email Dr Arthur David and Sarah Lennon for further information.
