Description

The newly established
IFF Innovation Center in Dangé-Saint-Romain (France-86) is hosting its Cultures R&D Group providing expertise on lactic acid bacteria and enzymes to support the commercialization of new starter cultures for the fermented food industries with a big focus on dairy.

These starter cultures are based on carefully selected microorganisms which are associated together in relevant food model to meet customer needs in term of new and/or improved functionalities (acidification control, texture modulation, flavor development, bacteriophage resistance ).

Job Requirements:

Supports multiple projects by providing genomics and bioinformatics expertise within our Cultures and Food Protection R&D Team
Independently develops and implements bioinformatics pipelines as needed by projects
Processes raw genomic data generated with diverse NGS technologies
Integrate genomic information with other data types including phenotypic, transcriptomic and metabolic data.
Prepares results for presentation, inclusion in technical reports, and for publication in peerreviewed scientific journals.

Required Qualifications:

PhD in Microbial Genetics, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Data Science, or related field.
Proficiency in UNIX/Linux development environment and Python.
Experience with common current bioinformatics tools to perform prokaryotic genomics assemblies, annotations, and alignments.
Familiarity with large public and private sequence databases (e.g. KEGG, BioCyc,...).
Demonstrated ability to independently design, manage, and perform multitask projects to a successful result.
Strong publication record.
Ability to:
Work independently and collaboratively is essential. Maintain strong working relationships within a multidisciplinary environment. Show strong team spirit.
