  • Replace me: post-doctoral bioinformatician at the DZNE (Bonn, Germany)

    Original job posting here and copied below. In short, we're looking for a replacement for me, as I'm moving to a staff scientist position elsewhere in a couple weeks. Our group works broadly on what would be categorized as mouse models of neurocognitive disorders (Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, etc.) and increasingly the role of epigenetic modifications in shaping neurocognition. We have a relatively large number of on-going projects that my replacement would likely become involved in (I'll help out for a while, but there are only so many hours in the day). The ideal candidate would have a background in working on transcriptomics and/or bisulfite-sequencing datasets. Unlike many bioinformatician positions, you'd have ownership of your own projects and would have opportunity for wet-lab and behavioural experiments (i.e., you're not a "data analysis monkey" that's expected to always be a second-class lab member). If you have any questions about the position, contact Dan Ehninger (his email address is below) or post here and I'll reply.

    Bioinformatician (f/m) – Code 1302/2015/3

    The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) is a center of excellence within the Helmholtz Association that performs translational research on Neurodegenerative Diseases. The center includes nine high-performing sites in Berlin, Bonn, Dresden, Göttingen, Magdeburg, Munich, Rostock/Greifswald, Tübingen and Witten.

    We offer a position as

    Bioinformatician (f/m) – Code 1302/2015/3

    within the group of Dr. Ehninger at the DZNE site Bonn.

    Our group is interested in molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to neuropsychiatric and aging-associated disorders. To this end, we employ mouse models and multidisciplinary experimental approaches including genomics and epigenomics, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, neurophysiology and behavioral neuroscience tools. The group is also interested in translating findings from preclinical models to human populations.

    We offer committed mentorship, exciting research projects, an excellent scientific environment in an emerging major site for translational neuroscience research, state-of-the-art facilities and good funding. Selected references: Nat Med 2008, 14: 843-8; Neuron 2008, 60: 950-60; Mol Psychiatry 2012, 17: 62-70; JCI 2013, 123: 3272-91; BMC Bioinformatics 2014, 15:337; Nat Neurosci 2014, 17:1736-43. For further information, please contact Dr. Dan Ehninger ([email protected]).

    We are looking for a highly motivated and initiative individual with a recent PhD degree, as well as a strong background in next generation sequencing and bioinformatics as applied to genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic data analysis. Fluency in English, good communication skills and capacity for teamwork are required.

    Employment, payment and social benefits are determined by the Public Sector Collective Agreement (Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst). Job location is Bonn, Germany. The DZNE is an equal opportunity employer. The DZNE especially welcomes and encourages disabled individuals to apply.

    Interested candidates should send their applications including CV with full publication list, the names and contact information of three references, and a summary of research interests in a single file to: [email protected]

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
