 *Title:*
Post-doc position in the fields of Bioinformatics and Data Integration in
Cancer Evolution

*Description:*

We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher within the frame of a
multidisciplinary project involving five different Institutions in Italy
and UK. This ambitious project, entitled “*Single-cell cancer evolution in
the clinic*”, aims at characterizing the clonal composition and evolution of
patient-derived organoids from single-cell multi-omics data, with the goal
of defining data-driven personalized therapeutic strategies, and it is
funded by a joint Cancer Research UK (CRUK), Asociación Española Contra el
Cáncer (FA-AECC) and Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro (AIRC)
Accelerator Award.

The candidate will work within the Data and Computational Biology Lab of
the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Italy (
http://dcb.disco.unimib.it), in tight collaboration with computer
scientists, bioinformaticians and computational biologists. Her/his tasks
will be to develop algorithmic tools for the analysis and integration of
data collected from single-cell experiments.

The ideal candidate will have:

●        PhD in computer science, data-science, machine learning,
bioinformatics, computational biology, or related field.

●        Strong expertise in programming, bioinformatics and (big) data
analysis.

●        Interest in translational research and biomedical sciences.

●        Knowledge of mathematical and statistical software such as R,
Python and Matlab™ (or similar)

●        Ability in independent research and proven aptitude in interaction
with interdisciplinary scientific teams

●        Excellent fluency in English and efficiency in
technical/scientific writing.

Most desirable are already acquired experiences with single-cell data
handling pipelines; familiarity with the application of statistical methods
to single-cell sequencing analysis is a plus.  Candidates with such
background will be given precedence.

The position is funded by the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca
under the Accelerator Award.  The position is for 12 months, possibly
renewable until the end of the project in 2023, with a salary up to 30,000
