    PhD Position for computational scientist in Heidelberg

    The new project group of Dr. Simon Anders at the Centre for Molecular Biology of the University of Heidelberg (ZMBH) is researching bioinformatics methodology for big data in molecular biology. We develop novel statistical inference methods for various types of high-throughput sequencing assays, and novel tools for visual and interactive exploratory analysis of multi-omics data.

    To build up our cross-disciplinary team, we are seeking a

    junior scientist as PhD student

    with expertise in computational science.

    We are interested not only in bioinformaticians but also in scientists from other quantitative fields, such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, or physics.

    The ideal candidate has passion for science, interest in molecular biology, and strong skills in scientific software development or quantitative data analysis or computational methods. Previous expertise in working with molecular-biology or other high-dimensional data would be of advantage. Fluency in written and spoken English and interdisciplinary communication skills are a must.

    We offer rewarding work in a stimulating research environment on applied projects, in collaboration with basic biology as well as clinical research groups, with access to all the resources and expertises necessary for a PhD to form a strong start into your research career.

    For details on our group's projects, please see our web page or contact Dr. Anders.

    To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter describing your expertise and research interests to S. Anders ([email protected]). If possible please also include a “work sample” (e.g. a report on a homework or internship project, or a link to a github repo) suitable to demonstrate your coding or data analysis skills.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
