„Forschen für ein Leben ohne Krebs“ – das ist unsere Aufgabe am Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum. Wir erforschen, wie Krebs entsteht, erfassen Krebsrisikofaktoren und suchen nach neuen Strategien, die verhindern, dass Menschen an Krebs erkranken. Wir entwickeln neue Methoden, mit denen Tumore präziser diagnostiziert und Krebspatient:innen erfolgreicher behandelt werden können. Jeder Beitrag zählt – ob in der Forschung, in der Administration oder der Infrastruktur. Das macht unsere tägliche Arbeit so bedeutungsvoll und spannend.
The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is member of the Helmholtz Association, Germany's largest research organization and develops solutions and technologies for the world of tomorrow.
Technological developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have greatly advanced the potential of data-based research. Without the necessary context information (metadata), however, much research data cannot be found, interpreted, or reused.
The Helmholtz Association has recognized metadata as essential for high-quality research data and promotes the development and establishment of new concepts and technologies through the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC). With the current shift towards 'foundation models’, a paradigm of training models on a large amount of data and subsequently adapting them for different applications, metadata is more important than ever and the centerpiece for connecting datasets across different domains.
To strengthen our team at the HMC Hub Health, which is a part of the Division of Medical Image Computing (headed by Prof. Dr. Klaus Maier-Hein, https://www.dkfz.de/en/mic/index.php) we are looking for the next possible date for an enthusiastic

The role will involve close cooperation with researchers and metadata experts in other Helmholtz centers, with the ultimate goal of building a connected FAIR data space across the association and beyond. In detail:
- Metadata is the centerpiece for connecting datasets across sources and domains. Together we want to answer the following scientific questions:
- Which metadata is most valuable for training and evaluating AI models?
- Which metadata can and should be generated during biomedical data science research?
- Which metadata is created in typical annotation and data curation workflows of medical experts?
- You support and advise researchers in metadata management and in the implementation of FAIR principles.
- You work on standards, guidelines, and tools for metadata management in the project and across the Association.
- You actively and independently communicate and coordinate with a number of stakeholders on a national and international level, project partners, related consortia, platforms and networks and you help building interest groups and communities.
