Dear BioC members, Sorry for the off topic message but I think it may be of interest for someone. A Biostatistician position is available at CNIC (Spain's National Centre for Cardiovascular Research). You can see the job description below. Any possible candidates please contact: Ana Dopazo, PhD Genomics Unit Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares(CNIC) Madrid, Spain http://www.cnic.es/genomica <http: www.cnic.es="" genomica=""> Thank you very much. D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------------------------ Biostatistician The CNIC Genomics Unit is looking for a biostatistics expert to participate in the performance of genome wide screening assays. The introduction of high capacity/high accuracy tools for collecting genetic information (e. g., microarray techniques) has changed the nature of life sciences research. Appropiate experimental design and analysis of the high number of data produced requires challenging biostatistical and computational approaches to turn this information into discovery. The successful candidate will be required to work on: ? Application, evaluation and development of statistical methods/ tools for hypothesis testing and data mining for a range of biological research projects using up-to-date genomic technologies. ? Consultation and collaborative support to ongoing research projects. Consulting will involve assisting researchers in choosing and implementing the best approaches for designing their experiments and analysing their results. Requirement for this position: ? Strong proven knowledge of statistical and computational methodology. Ability to choose appropiate methods and to correctly interpret analysis results. ? Experience in medical or pharmaceutical research and experience in DNA microarray data analysis/data mining is a strong plus. ? Ability to work at an interdisciplinary nodal position between the life sciences and statistics. ? Good communication skills. ? Good knowledge of English. The CNIC (Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares), Spain?s national centre for cardiovascular research, has been created to undertake world-class, internationally competitive research into the origin and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The research centre is located in Madrid in a new building with over 6.000 square metres of laboratory space, and equipped with top facilities and modern infrastructure.
