Job Description:
The Division of Theoretical Bioinformatics (Head: Prof. Roland Eils) at the German Cancer Research Center and the BioQuant Center is developing computer-assisted methods for interpreting complex genomic data. We perform data analysis and interpretation for several large-scale genomics projects within various national and international consortia. Within the framework of our contribution to the newly starting Sparse2Big project on imputation and fusion for massive sparse data we collaborate with several Helmholtz centers in Germany. In the context of this project we are looking for a postdoc / bioinformatician. Our research group is involved in bioinformatic analysis of diverse data sets arising from various international consortia like the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and recently the Human Cell Atlas Initiative (Regev et al., bioRxiv, 2017). Based on the omics datasets available in our group (whole genome, transcriptome, miRNAome, methylome) we have contributed significantly to the understanding of the mutational landscape and pathogenetic mechanisms in cancer (Jones et al., Nature, 2011; Richter et al., Nat. Genet., 2012; Weischenfeldt et al., Cancer Cell, 2013; Jones et al., Nat. Genet., 2013; Jäger et al., Cell, 2013). Within the Sparse2Big project we will extend our expertise on the single cell genomic profiling of cancer patients in the context of automated subcellular phenotyping. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to perform integrative study on large cancer patient cohorts including single cell imaging using state-of-the-art light sheet microscopy and sequencing techniques. Your profile: • PhD with a substantial component in systems biology, molecular biology, or cell biology (or equivalent experience) • Good understanding of NGS bioinformatics and cancer biology • Working experience with UNIX OS, Python, R is a strong plus • Ability to work independently and excellent team working skills • Organizational skills • Ability to supervise students and PhD students We offer: • Highly interesting position in an interdisciplinary setting • Participation in leading national and international research consortia • Broad expertise in cancer genomics and systems biology with proven track record of high impact publications • Excellent computational infrastructure including state-of-the-art computer cluster and petabyte-scale data storage facilities Please provide an introductory letter including your research interests, contact details of two references and a publication list with your application. The position is initially limited for two years with possibilities for extension. The position can in principle be part-time.

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 Dr. Christian Conrad, phone +49 6221 54-51304, Prof. Roland Eils, phone +49 6221 42-3600. 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 (http://www.dkfz.de/jobs). 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.
