Senior Scientist position
vor 1 Woche
The position will be hosted at the Institute of Human Genetics, in the workgroup "Regulatory Genomics" of Prof. Martin Kircher. The bioinformatics group performs research in the fields of sequence analysis, data mining, machine learning and functional genomics ). Understanding how molecular function and gene regulation is encoded in our genomes is one of our fundamental research questions. Our research focuses on computational approaches of identifying functionally relevant genetic changes in disease, development and adaptation. We devise computational approaches (e.g. CADD, CADD-SV, ReMM) to score and identify functionally relevant genetic changes in the human genome. We analyze and model gene regulatory effects from Massively Parallel Reporter Assay (MPRA) and other functional genomics data. Further, we develop more sensitive methods in diagnostics, especially for genome and cell-free DNA sequencing.
Starting date for the position is April 1st, 2026. The contract will be issued for 9 months with the prospect of continuation if additional funding can be secured.
What we offer:
The salary will be based on the German E 13 TV-L scale if terms and conditions under collective bargaining law are fulfilledFull-time employment, currently 38.5 hours/ week. Part-time employment may be compatible within the framework of certain working time models and with an earlier starting date.A collaborative research environment, incl. collaboration with internal and external partners, that encourages and supports scientific curiosity, innovation, and development of its team membersFlexible working hours and a family-friendly environmentYou are welcome to inform yourself about our benefits under: Benefits )Your responsibilities:
