Explicyte is a preclinical and translational contract research organization specialized in immuno-oncology. Our mission is to support academics, biotechs and pharmas in the discovery of novel targets and novel cancer immunotherapies.
With a team of 25, we’re a human-sized company, which brings under the same roof cell biologists, immunologists, in vivo scientists, medical oncologists and bioinformaticians. Focused on sponsors’ projects, our activity also involves in-house R&D and external collaborations, which led to the publication of 25+ papers in high impact-factor journals.
Based in Bordeaux, our lab is located at the Bergonié Comprehensive Cancer Center, where we work in close contact with medical oncology teams. We believe Explicyte is a place to learn, grow, and have impact in the fight against cancer.
More about us
To strengthen our translational research activities and accelerate scientific discoveries, we are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher. This role is focused on cutting-edge research in oncology, immunology, and biology, with a strong emphasis on omics data analysis.
In this position, you will be responsible for innovative data analysis across various high-dimensional datasets, including transcriptomics (bulk, spatial, single-cell), proteomics, metabolomics, and image analysis from digital pathology (multiplexed IHC, IHF). You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, contributing to the design, analysis, and interpretation of complex biological data to advance our research programs.
You will report to the Data Science Director.
