The position described here will be part of a project focusing on the development of biotechnological approaches to achieve carbon neutrality by combining the strengths of different scientific disciplines.

**Your Job**:

- Analyzing RNAseq data with respect to the identification and functional annotation of genes involved in, for example, cell wall degradation, carbon flux etc.
- Screening metagenomic and genomic data using deep learning methods in order to identify degrading enzymes from different data resources
- Using Hidden Markov Models and similar tools as well as machine learning for the identification of novel and better enzyme variants from a large proteome compendium
- Generating structural models of enzymes and using machine learning methods to predict their enzymatic function and characterize their molecular recognition properties
- Using machine learning methods and simulation techniques to understand environmental effects on the enzymes and improving their stability and activity
- Publishing the scientific results in international journals and traveling to national and international conferences
- (Co)-supervising PhD students

**Your Profile**:

- University degree (Master) and doctorate in bioinformatics, computer science, data science, biophysics, or life science-related fields with a proven track record in bioinformatics, biophysics, data analysis, and simulation sciences
- Very good practical experience in molecular biology, Next Generation Sequencing, and structural biology
- Extensive experience in analyzing large datasets (especially genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, enzyme data, and structural data)
- Knowledge in programming languages (e.g. Java, Rust, C/C++, Python) and statistical analysis using R/BioConductor/python
- Proven scientific communication skills in the form of scientific publications or equivalent
- Willingness to complement and collaborate with existing research units at the research center
- Excellent English language skills, both written and spoken are a requirement due to the international nature of the institute and collaborations
