Job Description:

Job Description

• You will develop new algorithms to infer cellular and tissue-wide differentiation trajectories from single-cell multiome (RNA + ATAC), spatial transcriptomics, and lineage tracing data.
• You will use machine learning and artificial intelligence methods to help decipher the evolutionary highly-conserved regulatory code underlying mammalian organogenesis.
• You will compare early mouse embryonic development with a variety of other species (human, fish, bird, non-vertebrates).
• You will analyze and compare synthetic organoid development with in vivo embryonic development.
• You will work closely with experimental collaborators.
• You will be an active member in a highly interdisciplinary team, involving data scientists and computational and experimental biologists.

Requirements

• PhD (or MSc degree with several years of working experience) in computational or natural sciences with a strong computational or quantitative focus.
• Strong programming skills (Python, R) are essential; experience in building efficient and reusable software would be a plus.
• Excellent communication skills facilitating frequent exchange with group members and scientific collaborators, and the ability to work independently.
• Solid statistical knowledge and experience with state-of-the-art machine learning methods.
• Ability to work independently and undertake challenging analysis tasks.

We offer

• International working environment with communication in English and German.
• Interesting career opportunities and a range of opportunities for further qualification and training.
• Compatibility of family and career, certified by the work-and-family audit (“berufundfamilie audit”).
• Support for "New Berliners" through the MDC Welcome & Family Office.
• On-campus health and fitness center.
• Stimulating and international research environment with excellent science.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge biomedical data.
• Ability to further yourself as an expert in single-cell genomics and machine learning approaches to biomedical data.
• Additional benefits include flexible working hours, mobile working options, childcare support, subsidy for the job ticket, and health benefits such as flu vaccination, eye tests, and ergonomics advice at the workplace.
