Jobbeschreibung

Overview

We are looking to support our rapidly growing team as soon as possible :

Computer Scientist / Computational Biologist (f / m / x)

Department of Translational Genomics - Beleggia Laboratory

TV-L: 385 h / week (100%)

Fixed-term for 2 years as part of a third-party funded project. Your salary will be based on TV-L.

Your tasks

We are looking for a talented curious Computational Biologist / Computer Scientist with a strong interest in cancer genomics and cancer biology. The successful candidate will be involved in standardizing computational workflows, software development, large-scale IT processes, high-performance computation, and developing novel concepts for the analysis of highly complex data sets in order to gain insight into cancer biology. Besides that the candidate will be responsible to handle standard IT tasks at our Department and manage the computational infrastructure for the SFB1399 project (e.g. data security, data sharing).

Your profile

The position requires a university degree in a relevant field such as physics, mathematics, computational biology, bioinformatics or biostatistics; preferably an advanced degree (Master of Science, Ph.D.) but we also welcome applicants with a Bachelor of Science degree and equivalent work experience. Profound experience in the computational / mathematical analysis of complex data sets as well as programming skills (preferably C, R or Python) are mandatory. Candidates should have a genuine interest in cancer biology, good communication skills and should be capable of driving projects with a high degree of independence.

Application

Please submit your application including a detailed CV, list of publications, two references and a brief statement of research interests.

Our offer

We offer a great work environment, intensive mentoring and several interactions with global leaders both from academia and the collaboration environment in Cologne provides access to state-of-the-art core facilities including genomics, proteomics and imaging.

Your future with us

The organization offers exciting development opportunities and a collaborative environment. We are committed to supporting all employees in reconciling their job with their goals and life situations.

This is the University Hospital of Cologne: Everything but ordinary.

Your future in detail

Embedded in a dynamic and competitive research environment with multiple national and international collaborations, the project focuses on understanding fundamental aspects of cancer using high-throughput data and developing advanced computational models. We analyze genome, transcriptome and proteome data from technologies such as massively parallel sequencing (whole genome, whole exome and transcriptome sequencing), single-cell sequencing approaches and single-cell proteomics. The research will leverage research programs as part of the collaborative research center. The candidate will work closely with Prof. Martin Peifer, Prof. Dr. Roman Thomas and Prof. Dr. Julie George and the IT Center University of Cologne (ITCC).

Applications from female candidates are expressly welcome and will be given priority in the event of equal suitability and professional performance.
