The Institute for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC, Head Prof. Dr. Philipp Henneke) is looking as soon as possible for a
Bioinformatician (m/f/d, PhD)
with focus on the analysis of large genomic, gene expression and gene regulatory network data sets.
We are looking for a highly motivated scientist to work in a dynamic and interdisciplinary academic team focusing on different aspects of infection, immunology, and adaptation of immunity across life. We aim to recruit a bioinformatician to complement our expertise and to develop an individual research focus within our research team.
We offer:
- a state of the art workplace located at the heart of the medical campus in close proximity to clinics and other research institutes
- a diverse and international team eager to approach diverse questions on immune development, infection dynamics and immunity to infections
- an internationally highly recognized and visible research environment
- independence to develop your own research focus as a basis for an academic career
- highly innovative projects from internationally recognized partners to interlink with from early-on
- work within a national consortium focusing on the development of immunity in pre- and perinatal life (TRR359)
- involvement in teaching across different life science study programs at the faculty of Medicine
- Perspective: Junior Group Leader
Your profile at the IPC:
- analyses of high throughput genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic, proteomic, digital spatial, and other ‘omics data in healthy and disease states
- close interaction with the bioinformatics and immunology teams of Katrin Kierdorf, Julia Kolter, Tjibbe Donker and Philipp Henneke
- analysis of multiscale single cell ‘omics data in in experimental and human models
- reference genome and transcriptome assembly and annotation across species
- perform rigorous and reproducible data analyses along with graphics and spreadsheet output
- development and implementation of custom analysis pipelines in collaboration with wet lab scientists
- develop your own projects and work independently on a variety of data analysis projects
- increasing development of own projects and acquisition of third-party funds in the course of time
Required skills:
- Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Genetics/Genomics or related field
- experience with ‘omics platform output
- experience with biological datasets and next generation sequencing data. Graphical output of data analysis for publication
- demonstrated experience in statistical analysis and designing computational methods and tools, including prior experience with algorithms relevant to computational biology
- documented programming skills, e.g. in Python and R
- very good communication and organizational skills with the ability to work to timelines, both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team
- a strong interest to acquire biological knowledge and work together with life scientists
- very good communication skills in English
