Statistical Genetics

The Faculty of Medicine is one of the four founding faculties of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. With its non-clinical facilities as well as its research and teaching area corresponding to the organisational units of the University Hospital, it is one of the largest medical training and research institutions in Baden-Württemberg.
The Centre for Genetic Epidemiology (CGE) within Institute for Clinical Epidemiology and Applied Biometry is offering positions (f/m/d) in the fields of

**Statistical Genetics (full time), Data Analysis (full time) and Database Management (part time, 65 %)**:
The positions are available as soon as possible and are limited until 31.05.2026.

The Centre for Genetic Epidemiology (CGE) within Institute for Clinical Epidemiology and Applied Biometry is looking for researchers with expertise from diverse backgrounds such as genetic epidemiology, statistical genetics, mathematics, Machine learning/artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics. CGE has a long-standing experience in studying the genetic architecture of complex diseases including neurodegenerative diseases using state-of-the-art approaches such as exome/genome sequencing, Mendelian randomization, machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, etc.
**Project**: We seek to unravel the role of common and rare variants in Parkinson’s disease by utilizing a variety of genetic epidemiological approaches. A variety of techniques including next-generation sequencing, machine learning, Bayesian approaches, and the use of standard statistical-genetics packages such as PLINK, SKAT, and meta-analytical approaches will be applied to understand the genetic etiology of PD. CGE is leading large-scale international projects funded by various organizations such as DFG and Michael J Fox Foundation, USA.

**Position and role**:
**Postion 1 (Statistical Genetics), 3 years, full time**:

**Position 2 (Data analyst), 3 years, full-time**:

The position requires communication among collaborators and thus excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate clearly the scientific and technical needs and to work within an interdisciplinary setting, communicating with other internal/external partners is a must. Prior experience dealing with clinical, molecular (genomics, and proteomics), and data processing, integration, and knowledge of Parkinson's disease research is considered an advantage.

**Position 3 (Database Manager), 3 years, part-time 65% with possibility for full time**:
The position is initially 65 % and depending upon the performance, it will be converted to full time. The option to work from home is possible.

The position will be for three years, and further extension will be possible depending upon the performance and availability of funds.
