We are looking for highly motivated early-career postdoctoral scientists willing to conduct independent research in computational biology at Nantes University in France.
Nantes University has recently launched ambitious research programs aimed at consolidating research in two key thematic areas: health and engineering. One of these programs, SysMics (Towards Systems medicine based on multi-oMics), is a transdisciplinary initiative at the intersection of biomedicine and digital sciences. The programme aims to develop translational research based on the integration of multi-omics data.

In this context, we are seeking to attract talented young researchers willing to develop and apply new computational models/methods based on multi-omics data integration in relation to cardiovascular, immunerelated, cancerous or developmental diseases.
Under the supervision of SysMics scientific leaders, we expect junior postdoctoral fellows to develop their own research projects while acquiring additional academic skills through dedicated advice and support. The selected candidates will therefore benefit from an excellent scientific environment – including funding and interdisciplinary mentoring - to help them develop an independent research career at an international level. We are committed to promoting gender equality and diversity, and to providing an enjoyable working environment within a multicultural, dynamic academic setting.
