**Company describtion**

The mission of the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) is medical translation: transferring biomedical research findings into novel approaches to personalized prediction, prevention, diagnostics and therapies and, conversely, using clinical observations to develop new research ideas. The aim is to deliver relevant medical benefits to patients and the population at large. Since 2021 the BIH has been integrated into Charité as its so-called third pillar.

For the Computational Medicine group, we are looking for a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher (d/w/m) for a period of three years as soon as possible.

We are seeking to recruit an emerging leader alongside a talented junior postdoctoral researcher in Human Genomics to join the Computational Medicine team at the Berlin Institute of Health. This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual with a strong track-record and keen interest in establishing their own research group.

**What you can expect**
- Advancement of the groups research strategy for molecular precision healthcare through the use of ethnically diverse biobank-scale DNA sequencing resources, including whole exome and whole genome sequencing, in agreement with the leadership team
- Development of the research group, supervision, development and management of junior staff and students
- Mining of electronic health records to sample patient cohorts for genetic analysis
- Implementation and development statistical techniques to associate rare and structural variation in the human genome with health outcomes at scale, including the use of deep learning derived variant prioritisation methods
- Using genetically anchored causal inference methods to advance understanding of the genetic causes and mechanisms underlying diverse diseases and their subtypes in ethnically diverse populations
- Developing bioinformatic workflows that integrate population-scale genomics research with single cell experiments, to identify disease relevant cell types and states

**What you bring along**
- PhD in genomics, statistical genomics, genetic epidemiology or a closely related discipline
- Stage-appropriate track-record of high-impact research and publications in the field of genomics, multiomics, and/or single call analysis
- Evidence of successful grant funding and managerial experience, depending on career stage
- Demonstrable experience in several of the following areas: 1) Generation and/or analysis of high-throughput genomic data, 2) Genome-scale association analyses using large-scale whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing data, 3) High level of proficiency in computational genomics e.g, variant annotation
- Aptitude for biological inference and clinical translation
- Demonstrable extensive experience with principal programming languages in HPC or cloud enviroments
- Desirable skills and experience: experience in integrating single cell ‘omics data, including sc-RNAseq or sc-ATACseq
- High level of proficiency in the English language

**What we offer you**
- A varied job in a forward-looking research institute
- Pay group E13 TVöD VKA-K. The classification is based on qualifications, the respective experience level is calculated on the basis of professional experience.
