  • Bioinformatics Scientist

    The Medical Faculty of RWTH Aachen University operates a Genomics Facility at the Interdisciplinary Center for Clinical Research (IZKF) Aachen. The mission of the Genomics Facility is to carry out and support internationally outstanding research on DNA Microarrays and Next Generation Sequencing.

    The open position is for a talented and motivated bioinformatics scientist to establish bioinformatics pipelines and perform data analyses (e.g. DNA-Seq, Chip-Seq, RNA-Seq) of NGS data generated in the Genomics Facility. The applicant is also encouraged to develop own research driven activities and to implement up-to-date methodology for data analysis. This will be done to support and in collaboration with the life science institutes and clinical departments of Medical Faculty of RWTH Aachen University. The opportunity to receive a PhD is given.

    Your tasks:
    • Understand scientific goals, and identify and implement bioinformatics solutions
    • Deliver impactful bioinformatics support
    • Work with scientists, clinicians, PhD students and postdocs to translate NGS analysis into research and clinical practice
    • Proactively engage in knowledge sharing and peer support to build expertise in the tools and techniques
    • Maintain the core facility computational servers

    Your profile:
    • M.Sc. degree (or Ph.D./Postdoc) in bioinformatics or related fields with at least 3 years of research experience in bioinformatics
    • Demonstrated experience in bioinformatics methods for analysis of NGS data and management of large data sets
    • Proficiency in programming languages such as shell script, R, Python or similar
    • Acquaintance with Linux operation system administration and experience with web based bioinformatics environments (i.e. Galaxy) is a plus
    • Skilled in effective communication of complex genomic data to a non-expert
    • Interest to work in interdisciplinary teams

    Salary and benefits are according to a public service position in Germany (TV-L E13).

    The position shall be filled as soon as possible and is initially for 5 years with the possibility for extension.

    RWTH Aachen University is certified as a "Family-Friendly University".

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
