[CPM-SPIRE-L] Postdoctoral researcher : Rennes, France

Title:
Algorithms for dealing with polymorphism and variants in unassembled NGS 
data

Description:
In the context of the ANR Colib’read http://colibread.inria.fr/ (Calling 
Biological information from raw reads), we propose a 18 months 
postdoctoral position.
It will be located in the Inria/Irisa genscale team, Rennes, France 
http://team.inria.fr/genscale. A major expertize domain of this team is 
development of methdos for the extraction of relevant biological 
information from raw non assembled NGS data, bearing in mind the 
objective to design scalable (both in term of time and memory) 
algorithms for processing the huge NGS datasets.

The aim of the project is to propose new methods to efficiently detect 
and exploit polymorphisms and variants while working with unassembled 
NGS data for which no reference genome is available.
A possible starting idea is to develop methods applied on assembly graphs.
The application domains will be the detection of haplotypes, the 
detection and characterization of repeats, the storage and exploitation 
of polymorphims between individuals or species.

Skills
We are looking for candidates with a strong background in algorithmic, 
development, computational biology and in particular with NGS data.
