Junior Bioinformatician in Cancer Research

Description

The Laboratory for Cellular Metabolism and Metabolic Regulation is a young and dynamic team of researchers performing cuttingedge cancer metabolism research with a special focus on cancer metastasis and novel metabolic pathways. We exploit in vivo mouse models metabolomics (single cell) RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry imaging analysis to gain groundbreaking insights into metabolism as a driving force of metastasis formation. Our work is published in highprofile journals such as Nature Nature Communications Cell Reports and Nature Cancer. We have strong international recognition and top collaboration partners all over the world.

The bioinformatician position entails the analysis of bulk and single RNA sequencing and spatial omics (such as mass spectrometry imaging and spatial transcriptomics). The position will require a highly motivated bioinformatician or computational biologist to provide support for multiple projects in our group. The role requires competency in programming languages such as R and/or Python and will involve working on a highperformance computing cluster. The individual will collaborate very closely with bioinformaticians and biologists to work on joint initiatives.

Your Profile

• Bachelor or Masters degree in Bioinformatics Computational Biology Statistics or Computer Science
• High competency in R and/or Python
• Solid grasp of statistics
• Excellent organizational and time management skills
• Flexibility and ability to develop new skills
• Ability to work both independently and as a member of a team
• Highquality written and oral communication skills in English
• Motivated to work in an international and young environment
• Experience with singlecell RNA sequencing and spatial omics analysis the use of highperformance computing clusters and/or cancer biology are a plus

We offer

• A fulltime contract for one year with the possibility of an extension afterwards.
• An opportunity to support exciting cuttingedge research projects in metastasis formation and novel metabolic pathways.
• Working in an environment of multidisciplinary and international collaborations.
• Teamwork and individual research career development.
• A position in a vibrant international team of young and dynamic researchers.
