We are currently looking for Ph.D students and Post-docs to join our interdisciplinary team!
(Giovanni Ciriello Lab, University of Lausanne)
Research in our lab focuses on designing, developing, and applying computational approaches to improve our understanding of cancer biology and evolution. We integrate algorithm design and application with generation and analysis of large-scale human genomic data (RNA and DNA sequencing, DNA copy number, DNA/Histone methylation, chromatin conformation capture) to infer and validate functional relationships between molecular alterations in tumors and potentially establish clinical relevance.
Our lab synergizes with the vibrant and multidisciplinary cancer research community in Lausanne, including research groups at UNIL, CHUV and EPFL as part of the nascent Swiss Cancer Centre Leman. The applicant will develop his/her research project while having the opportunity to engage in collaborations with both computational and experimental biologists and clinicians.
You can learn a lot more about who we are and what we do here: ciriellolab.org
Positions are envisioned to start in 2019 (between January and March).
For these positions, previous experience in cancer genomics and/or analysis of molecular/sequencing data is preferred, although not essential. For post-doc applicants, a Ph.D. in math, physics, computer science or related field and at least one first/main author publication in a peer-reviewed journal are required. Solid programming skills are required for both types of position (R and Python are preferred).
Applications should be addressed to Giovanni Ciriello and sent to giovanni.ciriello@unil.ch. Applications will include a cover letter, CV, list of publications, and the names of at least three referees.
