Job Description:
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher position in the laboratory of Dr. Vijay Tiwari (www.imb-mainz.de/research-at-imb/tiwari). The successful applicant will contribute to internationally competitive research on epigenetic regulation of cell-fate specification during development. The group employs high-throughput genomics assays in combination with stem cell biology and neurobiology and cutting-edge epigenetics and molecular biology tools. The resulting datasets are analysed using bioinformatics, statistics and systems biology approaches to generate a comprehensive model of epigenetic regulation of gene expression during embryonic development. You will: • Decode gene regulatory networks by analysing single cell genomics and epigenomics datasets. • Develop analysis pipelines to analyse and integrate single cell and bulk genomics and epigenomics datasets. • Study epigenetic mechanisms that regulate cell-type specification during embryonic development • Obtain training in epigenomics, computational biology, developmental biology and gene regulation • Have access to all IMB Core Facilities that offer genomics, single cell genomics, epigenomics and proteomics support. • Collaborate with internal and external partners • Work in close cooperation with a team of experimental and computational researchers to facilitate novel discoveries Required qualifications: • PhD in Bioinformatics or Computational Biology or Systems Biology or related areas • At least one first author paper in an international peer reviewed journal • Experience in analysis and integration of Next-Generation seuquencing (NGS) datasets including RNA-seq and ChIP-seq • Good knowledge of analytical tools such as R and proficiency in Linux and shell scripting • Knowledge of clustering methods and machine learning techniques is preferable. • Experience with High Performance Computing (HPC) environment • Programming skills in one of the following languages: Perl, Python, or C/C++ • Motivation to solve complex biological problems and experience in productively working in an interdisciplinary environment • Good written and spoken English
Additional Info:
The Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) is a Centre of Excellence for Life Sciences, funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation, and located in Mainz, Germany. We offer • The possibility to work on cutting-edge projects using state-of-the-art technology • A stimulating, diverse and international research environment • Advanced training opportunities • Career development • Competitive salary • Highly motivated research team IMB is an equal opportunity employer. To apply, please email a cover letter, your CV (in English), contact address of at least two professional referees and certificates of your degrees as a PDF quoting Ref. No. #VTPD16 to personnel@imb-mainz.de. Informal enquires should be addressed to Dr. Vijay Tiwari (v.tiwari@imb-mainz.de). Deadline for applications: 15th July 2017 Starting date: 15th August 2017 or later; duration: Initially 2 years with option of further Extension.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
