Job Description:
The Division of Epigenetics is seeking a Computational Biologist or Bioinformatician. We are looking to strengthen our team with a bioinformatician to support our analysis of marbled crayfish as an innovative model for clonal genome evolution. The project's main goal is the characterization of mutation patterns in whole-genome sequencing datasets and the analysis of genetic relationships in various populations. The project offers opportunities to work with several cutting-edge next-generation sequencing platforms (Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore). The team is international and multidisciplinary in a lively and friendly working atmosphere, with a state-of-the-art computational infrastructure. Your profile: We are looking to expand our team by a dedicated and strongly motivated scientist with a distinct interest in the challenges of next-generation sequencing data analysis. Applicants should hold a diploma or master's degree in bioinformatics, or related fields, with a solid background in the application of sequencing-based bioinformatic tools and basic knowledge of molecular genetics. Demonstrable skills in programming and biostatistics (e. g. Python, R) and in a Linux computing environment are required. Candidates also must have strong communication skills and the ability to work in a team. The successful candidate will be working in an international and innovative environment, have access to a broad range of professional development courses and the possibility to contribute to projects at the frontier of cancer research. The project also offers the opportunity of acquiring a doctoral degree. The position is initially limited to 2 years. The position can in principle be part-time.
Additional Info:
The German Cancer Research Center is the largest biomedical research institution in Germany. With approximately 3,000 employees, we operate an extensive scientific program in the field of cancer research. For further information please contact Prof. Dr. Frank Lyko, phone +49 6221 42-3800. The German Cancer Research Center is committed to increase the percentage of female scientists and encourages female applicants to apply. Among candidates of equal aptitude and qualifications, a person with disabilities will be given preference. To apply for a position please use our online application portal ( www.dkfz.de ). We ask for your understanding that we cannot return application documents that are sent to us by post (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, Personalabteilung, Im Neuenheimer Feld 280, 69120 Heidelberg) and that we do not accept applications submitted via email. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. [Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
