Heidelberg, Deutschland European Molecular Biology Laboratory Vollzeit

Bioinformatics
- EMBL Heidelberg

EMBL is Europe’s flagship laboratory for the life sciences - an intergovernmental organisation with more than 110 independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology. It operates across six sites in Heidelberg (headquarters), Barcelona, Cambridge, Grenoble, Hamburg and Rome. Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; offer vital services to scientists in the public and private sectors within the member states; develop new instruments and methods; and engage actively in technology transfer.

We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated computational biologist/bioinformatician to work in the Heard group in the Directors’ Research Unit at EMBL Heidelberg. The Heard group focuses on understanding the processes of X chromosome inactivation and random monoallelic gene expression. You will join a highly dynamic team that combines genetic engineering and genomics with a range of cell biology and imaging approaches to study the role of chromatin modifications, chromosomal organisation and non-coding RNAs in gene regulation and expression.

Your role

The position involves data analysis of diverse types of next generation sequencing (NGS) data as well as generally supporting the group with computational analysis, experiment planning, optimizing data generation and computational infrastructure. You will support our team by contributing to data analyses involving gene expression analysis (e.g. RNA-seq), chromatin states and transcription factor occupancy (e.g. ChIP-seq, Cut&Run), chromatin accessibility (e.g. ATAC-seq) as well as genome topology (chromatin conformation capture (3C) based techniques, e.g. Hi-C). Due to the nature of scientific questions in the Heard lab, data analysis frequently relies on the integration of allele-specific information. To provide a perfect environment for your research, you will be embedded in and frequently exchange with collaborating computational labs at EMBL.

**Closing date**: 21 February 2023

Contract duration: 3

Grading: 4, 5 or 6; depending on qualifications and experience

Reference number: HD02355

You have
- Prior experience and independence with the analysis of NGS datasets (e.g. RNA-seq, ChIP-seq), the Linux/Unix shell, R/Bioconductor, scripting languages
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Fluency in written and spoken English
- A friendly and professional manner
- High motivation and enthusiasm to work within an international team
- Well organized, open-minded, proactive, able to work on different projects in parallel and problem-solving skills
