Bioinformatician in Immunogenetics: MPI-IE 911 views

The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology (MPI-IE) zand Epigenetics are inviting applications for a Bioinformatician in Immunogenetics (m/f/d). The position will be available in the Boehm.

Study areas:

• Bioinformatics
• Data analysis
• Statistics
• Immunogenetics

Duration: initially funded for two years

About the project:

• The selected candidate will have the opportunity to contribute directly to multiple research projects, from experimental design to data analysis and interpretation, interacting with a strong, interdisciplinary bioinformatics and deep sequencing team that provides access to a large Sequencing Facility (HiSeq3000, HiSeq2500, NextSeq500), as well as a high-performance Data Center with Petabyte-scale storage solutions.
• Responsibilities include design of sequencing experiments, processing and quality control of NGS datasets of whole genome and amplicon bisulfite sequencing with discovery of differentially methylated regions, WGS and variant calling, RNAseq, scRNAseq, analysis of differential gene expression and gene module calling, analyses of sequence homologies and conservation, TCR clonotyping, reference assembly and annotation in non-model organisms, and development and implementation of custom analyses in collaboration with wetlab scientists.

Qualifications:

• Applicant must be dedicated and motivated team player with strong communication skills and good command of the English language.
• Applicant must hold M.Sc or PhD degree in bioinformatics or biology with a clear computational component.
• Applicant must possess a proven record in the analysis of genome-wide datasets and computational skills (Python, R) in a Linux environment.

Applications:

Submit complete application, including a 1 page motivation summary, CV and contact details of referees via the online application portal
