Master thesis in single cell transcriptomics/computational biomedicine

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München is recognized as one of Europe's premier academic and research institutions. The Gene Center is a central scientific institution of the LMU located in the heart of its Life Science Campus in Großhadern/Martinsried.

The research group of Professor Johanna Klughammer at the Gene Center, LMU Munich, Germany, is looking for a Master student or Master-level research intern (f/m/d) in single cell genomics/computational biomedicine.

Our research

We are working towards improving our understanding of the regulatory landscape of cellular systems in health and disease across immunology, cancer biology, and evolution using high-dimensional molecular data (e.g. single cell and spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics). The analysis and integration of existing and new cutting-edge data sets, as well as the development of new computational tools to more efficiently and comprehensively leverage the ever-increasing wealth of data are a corner-stone of the lab’s efforts. Complementarily, we will be establishing and improving spatial-transcriptomics technologies towards the comprehensive spatio-molecular profiling of clinical samples and in vitro systems including organoids.

Your qualification

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification in biology, biomedicine, biochemistry, computational biology, bioinformatics, data science, or a related field
• Computational skills (Linux console, Conda or similar, Python or R)
• Experience or strong interest in working with high-dimensional data (e.g. bulk or single-cell sequencing data, multiplex imaging data)
• Strong interest in immunology, cancer biology, epigenomics/evolution, or cellular systems/tissue architecture
• Fluent written and spoken English

Our offer

You will be working in an enthusiastic, multidisciplinary team comprising computational and wet-lab scientists with an equal focus on scientific excellence and inter-personal competence. Possible projects range from data analysis with a focus on biological questions to computational methods and algorithm development and can be tailored to your interest and background. The start date is flexible.
