We are seeking a highly motivated person to join the biological sequence analysis group of Toby Gibson at EMBL to work on software tools and web resource development. The group develops and applies biological software tools in the analysis of protein data and is known as a co-developer of the widely used ClustalW alignment software. Our most important publicly accessible bioinformatics web server is the Eukaryotic Linear Motif resource, ELM (http://elm.eu.org/). The post holder will work in supporting and extending our resources including connections with other European resources. An important activity of the group is to interface with experimental research groups at EMBL, therefore providing help and training will be an additional activity.  [More]

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy). EMBL is seeking a highly motivated bioinformatics engineer to work in the group of Prof. Matthias Hentze. The research focuses on the discovery of novel RNA-binding proteins and identifying their role­ in health and disease. The group uses new next-generation sequencing and mass-spectrometry-based technologies to identify and functionally characterize RNA-binding protein targets. The successful applicant will be involved in the computational analysis and interpretation of these data. She/he will create workflows based on existing tools and further develop analysis methodologies in order to translate novel data types into biological discoveries.  [More]

We are looking for a computational scientist to join the Proteomic Core Facility at EMBL Heidelberg. The Proteomic Core Facility provides scientific support for scientists at EMBL-Heidelberg and its outstations, in the areas of proteomics and structural biology. We offer services in the characterization of proteins and peptides by mass spectrometry, for which we have a range of mass spectrometers and nano-flow liquid chromatography systems. This results in generation of large scale datasets that need to be processed in a high-quality, reproducible, and timely manner. The successful candidate will establish and maintain an analysis pipeline for diverse proteomics workflows at the EMBL proteomics core facility. This will involve establishing file handling workflows, automatic generation and archiving of results, algorithmic implementation/development, and developing bioinformatics solutions for novel proteomics strategies.  [More]

The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy). We are seeking a Bioinformatician to join the Zeller team in the area of metagenomics and human multi-omics data analysis, integration and interpretation. You will develop new analytical methods, implement robust software and integrate tools into workflows and service portals. The position is embedded in the context of the German National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Network (de.NBI), of which the Heidelberg Human Bioinformatics (HD-HuB) node is committed to providing human-centered bioinformatics tools and services. Your experience acquired while working with these tools will be the basis for delivering insightful, high-quality data analyses, showcasing the potential of these tools in a range of different research projects. For this you will have the opportunity to work closely with other scientists from Georg Zeller's, Peer Bork's, Wolfgang Huber's, Jan Korbel's and / or Toby Gibson’s groups. Additionally, you will interact with, and ideally participate in, internal bioinformatics community initiatives at EMBL (e.g. the Bio-IT project) and explore synergies with external de.NBI / HD-HuB support.  [More]
