Joint postdoctoral fellow in bioinformatics
Description: The position will be a part of the project "mRNA localization and local translation in neuronal cells". In highly polarized cells, many mRNAs have specific subcellular localization patterns and their translation is often regulated in a localization-dependent manner. We have conducted a screen to identify neuronal RNAs that change their localization and translation patterns upon abrogation of the miRNA function. The selected candidate will work a close tandem with experimentalists, analyzing RNA-seq, ribosome profiling, CLIP and mass-spectrometry data.The successful candidate will benefit from the international research environment and excellent learning opportunities. There will also be a chance to develop one’s own line of research for the future independent career. Requirements: Applicants should have PhD degree in computational genomics, bioinformatics, computer science, statistics or an equivalent quantitative field. We are looking for talented researchers with a proven track record in bioinformatics. The ideal candidate should have excellent programming skills for data analysis preferably in R and in one of the scripting languages such as Perl/Python. In addition, experience in C/C++ would be beneficial and highly desirable. Statistics and machine learning coursework and/or demonstrated application of those in previous research is also necessary. The initial contract will be for a two years period, with the possibility of prolongation. Salary is according to the German TVöD E 13 (Bund). The MDC is an equal opportunity employer and supports gender equality.
