Two Bioinformatics positions in Next Generation Sequencing analysis
Two Bioinformatics positions (Postdoc or PhD level) are available for initially 3 years with the possibility of extension at Hannover Medical School in Hannover, Germany starting in March 2012 or later. Salary will be according to the domestic TV-L tarif and dependent on experience.
The applicants will be working in the brand new Pediatric Research Center, established 2011, which includes a state of the art SOLiD 5500xl series genetic analyzer. Server based computational infrastructure and an additional 454 sequencer are already established.
Key aspect of the applicant's work will be the evaluation and analysis of next-generation sequencing data in various research projects conducted on site, including projects of the German Lung Centre and the Cluster of Excelllence REBIRTH, ranging from RNAseq and metagenomics to comparative resequencing of bacterial and human genomes. The Postdoc position will be closely associated with the SOLiD sequencer and include a strong research role within administered projects. The PhD position will involve computational analysis of human genome and trancriptome sequence data within a project hosted by the German Lung Centre section at the Medical School.
We offer a challenging work environment in a multidisciplinary team, composed of bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, biochemists, biologists and medical scientists. For postdoc applicants, the project can provide the opportunity to extend his/her curriculum vitae to apply for tenure track positions.
Hannover Medical School is an established institution with proven ground-breaking research, 7 SFBs and an Excellence Cluster and is a leader in acquiring grant funding. Hannover, the state capital of Lower Saxony, has a population of 500,000 and lies within easy reach of excellent summer and winter recreational areas in the Harz mountains, Steinhuder Meer and the North and Baltic seas. The city hosts three University campuses and offers a good standard of living.
Responsibilities:
NGS data analysis
Ability to train others in bioinformatics
Required skills:
Linux
Detailed knowlege of next-generation sequencing analysis
Experience with a scripting language such as Perl/Python or higher language like Java/C.
Proven publication record (postdoc)
Very good spoken and written English
Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team
Desired skills:
Familiarity with eukaryotic genomics databases, microbial genome assembly,
Some experience with Linux server administration
Hannover Medical School strives to increase the number of women in scientific positions. Applications from women are thus particularly welcome. Disabled candidates will be preferred given equal skills and abilities.
