Postdoc Position in Human Genetics to Study Genetics of Brain Diversity in Autism
Institut Pasteur
Paris, France
The role of the Postdoctoral fellow
She/he will analyze genetic data from different groups of individuals with autism or neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) and controls from the general population (UK Biobank, …). She/he will analyse the data with a focus on the interplay between the common and the rare variants, and how such interplay impacts brain development (eg. gene expression) and leads to different types of autism.
The candidate should have a PhD in Human Genetics and the following skills:
- Strong interest in the field of genetics, neurobiology and psychiatry.
- Computer skills: strong level in the main bioinformatics software and methods (R, Python, Bash).
- Knowledge on large-scale genotyping/sequencing data analyses.
- Good level in statistics.
- Good level of written and oral English.
- Ease in a multidisciplinary environment, taste for teamwork, interpersonal skills.
- Scientific curiosity, methodological rigor.
- Because the project will investigate both genetic variations and brain regions to better stratify autism, a knowledge on brain imaging is appreciated.
