Job Description:
Alacris Theranostics GmbH employs next generation sequencing, bioinformatics and systems biology tools to develop personalised medicine approaches (diagnosis, treatment, pharmacological research) for cancer patients. Alacris’ strong R&D business program is focused on systems biology modelling of cancer, for prediction of disease signalling and drug action in individual patients. We work together with cancer clinics, leaders in the IT field and the pharmaceutical industry in international commercial and research projects. We invite applications for a

Starting immediately, the appointment will be made initially for two years with the possibility of extension. We are looking for an experienced bioinformatician or computational biologist with a strong background in next generation sequence (NGS) analysis, systems and tumour biology, analysis and integration of Omics data and mathematical modelling. Expertise in working with NGS data, large data sets, analysis of Omics data, integration of heterogeneous molecular and clinical data, as well as statistical and programming skills (in Python and R) is essential. Experience in the field of tumour biology and the development of complex biological network models would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be strongly motivated, team-oriented and have excellent communication skills in the English language. You will join a group of bioinformaticians, biologists and software engineers working on the integration of Omics data, such as NGS exome/whole genome, RNA-seq, and proteomics, as well as clinical data generated by large international consortia for the development of mathematical cancer models using Alacris’ unique ModCell^TM platform. You will work on the analysis of NGS data, biological interpretation of such data and development of mathematical models for cancer biology. We offer a challenging and rewarding position as part of an international interdisciplinary team working in personalised medicine and systems biology, with a competitive salary and excellent working conditions, in the dynamic city of Berlin. Applications (including CV, a detailed description of previous research experience and interests, publications list, plus the contact details of at least three referees who are directly acquainted with the applicant’s research and work) should be submitted to career@alacris.de as a single PDF file, citing reference ALA-NGS-24032016.
