Single-cell RNA/TCR-Seq is revolutionizing our understanding of immune cell types in clinically relevant situations such as tumors. The research project will focus on analyzing single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing data from tumor infiltrating T cells. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on both in house and publicly available data. He/she will be expected to use and develop computational tools for single-cell gene expression profile, TCR reconstruction and TCR sequence analyses. Together with several experimental collaborators, we are located in the new Agora building, which crystallizes efforts in translational cancer research and is the main link between fundamental onco-immunology at UNIL and clinical immunotherapy at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV). In addition, Lausanne offers one of the best translational research environments in the field of cancer immunotherapy with several world-renowned Institutes (Ludwig Institute for Cancer research at UNIL, ISREC at EPFL, Oncology Department at CHUV) and cutting-edge computational infrastructures (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics). Starting date is flexible. Profile requirements PhD in Computational Biology, Math, Physics or Computer science with demonstrated experience in Bioinformatics and at least one first-author research paper in a peer-reviewed journal. Experience with gene expression analysis and machine learning algorithms in computational immunology is a plus. The candidate should have a strong interest in cancer and immunology-related research and excellent collaborative skills with experimental biologists. Good knowledge in algorithmic developments and programming, as well as the ability to work in English (oral + written) are required. How to apply If you are interested in this challenging and highly interesting position, please send your application including CV and letter of motivation to: David Gfeller (david.gfeller@unil.ch) 5/7/20, 02:46 - Praharshit Sharma: Position available for a young bioinformatician LocationCancer Genomics Lab, via Malta 3, 13900 Biella (Italy) ReferentDr. Giovanna Chiorino Deadline for applicationMay 31st 2020 Contactgiovanna.chiorino@fondazionetempia.org Skills / Experience required Master’s Degree in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computer science, informatics engineering, or in biology/biotechnology with postgraduate education in computational biology, bioinformatics, or informatics; Familiarity with Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) data analysis (reads alignment, data filtering, variant calling); Programming languages (Bash scripting, R, Python); Comfortable working in a Unix/Linux environment; Experience with cloud computing also a plus.

Our goal is to enhance drug safety by developing mechanistic models, which are knowledge- rather than retrospective clinical data-driven and, thus, available at early stages of development. The successful candidate will collaborate with a wide network of scientists from industry and EU academic institutions. Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity is frequently a dose limiting adverse effect of many drugs, such as oncotherapeutics. When such toxicity is on-target, it is not always possible to mitigate liability through compound screening or optimization during drug discovery. In this context, mathematical modelling provides a strategic alternative to optimize clinical dose schedules and identify therapeutic margins. Our goal is to build a suite of mechanistic quantitative models, available in early-stage drug development, to support decision‐making, trial optimization and dose schedule guidance. This Postdoc will join a multidisciplinary team of researchers who are already developing a multiscale computational framework which can be used to test and generate biological hypotheses related to drug induced GI toxicity. The student will work closely with biologists and toxicologists to develop and refine these models and will present results regularly to wide multidisciplinary audiences. There is also a requirement to publish results in scientific journals and relevant conferences, subjected to the quality and novelty of the work. 5/7/20, 05:00 - Prash: Thank you Harsh.
