Descripción del empleo

The German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) is a member of the Leibniz Association. The institute’s mission is to conduct experimental and clinical research in the field of nutrition and health, with the aim of understanding the molecular basis of nutrition-dependent diseases, and of developing new strategies for treatment and prevention.

We are looking for a highly motivated Computational Biologist/Bioinformatician to join our teams, which focus on understanding how obesity and type 2 diabetes reshape the epigenome, with the goal of identifying disease-associated genes and epigenetic alterations. Using lean and obese mouse models and translational validation in humans, we investigate how interventions such as intermittent fasting, endurance training, and bariatric surgery can modulate disease-induced molecular changes.

Tasks

• Perform end-to-end data analysis, including quality control, data integration and inference of regulatory networks
• Analyze and interpret multiome datasets (e.g. transcriptomics, epigenomics and related modalities)
• Apply advanced computational and statistical methods for integrative analysis of multi-layer biological data
• Develop clear data visualizations, reports and written summaries to communicate results
• Collaborate closely with laboratory scientists to translate biological questions into computational analyses

Skills and requirements

• Excellent master and doctoral degree in Computational Science/Bioinformatics
• Strong background in biological fundamentals, including genetics and epigenetics
• Experience with multiome data analysis (e. g. Lipidomics, Proteomics, ATAC-seq)
• Expertise in programming languages such as R or Python
• Proven experience with advanced computational methods for data integration and interpretation
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in interdisciplinary teams
• Fluency in spoken and written English

We offer:

• Excellent technical equipment, a wide range of experimental methods and a dynamic and interactive research environment
• Remuneration according to TV-L, level 13, plus annual special payment and company pension scheme
• Family-friendly working conditions (certificate “audit berufundfamilie”)
• Supporting of mobility with a jobticket for using the public transport
• Easy accessibility by public transport or car (including free parking)
• 30 days of vacation
• Participation in the benefits program for employees („Corporate Benefits“)

The advertised position is available for 1 year.

We promote the employment of people with severe disabilities and are committed to equal opportunities for them. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preferential consideration if they have the same qualifications.
