Postdoc in Cancer Biology and/or Bioinformatics

For the Institute of Molecular Oncology and Functional Genomics at the DKTK partner site Munich, we are seeking the earliest possible start date for a Postdoc in Cancer Biology and/or Bioinformatics. Reference number: .

We study the molecular basis of cancer through an integrated approach spanning genomics, molecular biology, and computational biology, aiming to better understand how cancers arise, spread, or resist therapy. Our work includes developing and applying genetic technologies for high‑throughput applications in cells and mice, including CRISPR or transposon tools for massively parallel screening, and creating and integrating multidimensional data to interrogate biological systems in full complexity. The team brings together cancer biologists, molecular geneticists, bioinformaticians, and clinicians collaborating in a multidisciplinary environment.

Your Tasks

• Non‑coding RNA biology
• Genomic technology development
• Cell fate transitions in development and cancer
• Molecular mechanisms of cancer metastasis
• Computational large‑scale data integration

Your Profile

• Master’s or PhD degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, genetics, molecular biomedicine, cancer biology, or a closely related field in the life sciences, with a strong focus on oncology or high‑throughput data analysis.
• Strong background in molecular and cellular biology or computational biology.
• Fluency in English is required.

We Offer

• Excellent framework conditions: state‑of‑the‑art equipment and opportunities for international networking at the highest level.
• Remuneration according to TV‑L, including occupational pension plan and capital‑forming payments.
• 30 days of vacation per year.
• Flexible working hours.
• Possibility of part‑time work.
• Family‑friendly working environment.
• Sustainable travel to work: subsidized Germany job ticket.
• Corporate Health Management Program offering a holistic approach to well‑being.
• Targeted training and mentoring through the DKFZ International PhD Program and DKFZ Career Service.
