Job Opportunity: Bioinformatician, Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD), Dresden, Germany
Do you have a strong bioinformatic skill set and are fascinated by important scientific questions?
Do you want to help understand how macrophages fight cancer and protect against aging?
Or what defines stemness on the molecular level?
Then apply to the lab of Alexander von Humboldt Professor Dr. Michael Sieweke chair of stem cell research and cellular therapies at the CRTD, for a position as Bioinformatician available immediately and with a long-term perspective.
The Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) is a unique research center at the TU Dresden with a focus on regeneration and stem cell research from fundamental research to clinical applications. The Sieweke lab studies how immune cells, especially macrophages, influence
regeneration, aging, and cancer. We investigate how gene regulatory mechanisms and long-term epigenetic changes control self-renewal, activation, cell aging, and “trained immunity” in mouse and human cells (e.g., PMID: 35210623, PMID: 32169166, PMID: 26797145).
Your Profile:
• You should have a university or PhD degree in bioinformatics or related subject and profound
experience in relevant software packages, programming languages for OMICs and NGS data
analysis of several applications in RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, ChIP-Seq, single-cell RNA-Seq and –
ATAC-Seq, DNA methylation and spatial transcriptomics, Knowledge in statistics, pathway and
multivariate analysis is important. A theoretical basis in molecular biology, sequencing
technology and gene regulation are desirable.
• You should enjoy to drive research questions forward and develop your own solutions, to
interact with experimental scientists to adapt available analysis methods to specific questions
and optimize bio-informatic analysis and experimental design in a re-iterative process.
We offer:
• Medically relevant projects to develop new therapies against cancer and other diseases
• Outstanding research environment in biomedicine, genomics and bioinformatics.
• Implement your own ideas and engage in diverse work in a friendly, international team
• Attractive benefits (flexible working hours, childcare in close proximity, training programs,
career development and company pension plan, sports facilities, health promotion services)
• Collaboration with a start-up company emerging from our academic research.
