Ihre Aufgaben:

The successful candidate will analyse tumor samples using next-generation sequencing technologies. To this end, the candidate will establish and monitor next-generation sample preparation workflows and data analysis pipelines. In addition, the candidate will be asociated to the department Bioinformatics in Oncology (Buettner group) and involved in research projects on the application-driven development of data-science based tools for the analysis of next-generation sequencing data. The candidate will further collaborate with research groups in Frankfurt and Heidelberg.

Ihr Profil:

We are looking for a candidate with a background in cancer biology, bioinformatics or a related field (e.g. mathematics, computer science, statistics). A master's degree at least is required (e.g. M.Sc.). Previous experience in next-generation sequencing sample preparation and data analysis is essential. In addition, the candiate should be familiar with common bioinformatics software tools. Knowledge of programming/scripting languages (e.g. R or Python) and best practices in software development as well as experience with Linux environments, cloud computing and the application of data science/machine learning algorithms is a plus.
The candidate will closely interact with other researchers and clinicians therefore good English communication skills are required.

To apply please submit a single PDF file containing the cover letter, curriculum vitae, copies of relevant degree certificates and contact details for at least two reference persons.
