Postdoctoral researcher bioinformatics

The Feucht and Leibold labs aim at improving immune cell-based therapies against cancer and non-malignant diseases. We leverage advanced technologies including CRISPR / Cas9 genome engineering, live cell imaging and cutting-edge omics to gain improved understanding into immune cell and tumor cell biology. We apply clinically relevant models to uncover underlying mechanisms of responses and therapeutic failures with the overall goal to develop and translate enhanced therapies to improve patient care.

The labs are embedded within the iFIT Cluster of Excellence (EXC2180) and supported by ERC Starting grants, providing excellent opportunities for training, mentoring and career development.

Tasks:

• Set up and run bioinformatic pipeline to characterize immune cell profiles
• Analyze transcriptomics (bulk/ sc/ spatial) data
• Work with experimental researchers to contribute to understanding of therapeutic responses and diseases
• Develop new ideas and models in close interaction with team members
• Collaborate with internal and external partners

Qualification:

• Motivation, passion and excitement for cancer research, immunology and biomedical research
• MSc in bioinformatics, machine learning, computer science or related disciplines
• Strong programming skills
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
• Curiosity, excellent analytical and communication skills
• Enthusiastic learning and collaborative working attitude

Benefits:

We offer an interesting and diverse job with an exciting high-profile research project in a highly innovative and impactful research field.
