Bioinformatician – Multi-Omics and Systems Biology
Humanitas Research Hospital is a highly specialized research and university hospital, and the first in Italy to be certified as an Academic Hospital by the Joint Commission International. Research is driven daily by over 500 physicians, biologists, physicists, data scientists, and technologists working across hospital wards and 10,000 sqm of high-tech laboratories. Our mission is to transform discoveries into concrete cures, with a strategic focus on five key areas: cancer, immunology, neuroscience, gastrointestinal medicine, and molecular cardiology.
The Laboratory of Microbial Systems and Human Interfaces (MSHI Lab), led by Dr. Sara Carloni at Humanitas University, is seeking a bioinformatician to support the development of an integrated computational platform for translational microbiology.
The successful candidate will contribute to the analysis and integration of complex multi-omics datasets generated from microbiome, bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs), metabolomics, transcriptomics (bulk and single-cell), and host–microbe interaction studies. The position will involve the development of reproducible bioinformatic pipelines, network-based analyses, and data integration strategies aimed at identifying microbial functional programs and clinically relevant biomarkers.
The bioinformatician will work in close collaboration with microbiologists, clinicians,
immunologists and computational scientists across ongoing research projects, contributing to the establishment of a long-term bioinformatics hub within the laboratory. This role is expected to play a key part in supporting the laboratory's scientific growth and future competitive funding.
Preferred qualifications
MSc or PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Statistics, or related disciplines.
Experience with one or more of the following: microbiome analysis, metagenomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, single-cell omics, network biology, systems biology, or multi-omics integration.
Programming skills in R and/or Python and experience working in Linux environments.
Strong analytical skills and ability to work within multidisciplinary teams.
The position is funded through the Humanitas 5×1000 program.
What we offer:
In Humanitas you will find a stimulating and dynamic research environment, a strong network of international collaborators and interesting opportunities for your professional growth.
You’ll be involved with autonomy and responsibility on prestigious projects accessing to state-of-the-art infrastructure and core computing and experimental facilities in a vibrant, world-class research environment
