PhD Positions: Computational Biology: Join our dynamic team in Computational Biology! We are currently seeking motivated candidates for various positions, including a bioinformatician role and international PhD openings. Additionally, if you have your own funding or are interested in applying for fellowships, we welcome collaborations in developing hybrid projects. Explore the intersection of aging, microbiome, and computational biology with us and contribute to cutting-edge research in an innovative environment.
Study Area: Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Biology, Wetlab-Drylab Hybrid Projects
Location: Leibniz Institute, Germany
Eligibility/Qualification: For the bioinformatician position, candidates should hold a PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, biology, or related fields. Exceptional candidates without a PhD but with significant hands-on experience will also be considered. Proficiency in R, Python, Bash, and version control is required, along with experience in high-throughput data preprocessing and analysis. Excellent communication skills in English are essential.
For international PhD positions, interested candidates should refer to the DAAD-supported openings and submit applications according to the institute’s guidelines. Candidates with backgrounds in computational biology or mixed wet-dry backgrounds are encouraged to apply. PhD and postdoc candidates with their own funding or interest in applying for fellowships are welcome to explore opportunities for collaboration.
Description: As a bioinformatician in our team, you will be responsible for establishing and running computational pipelines for preprocessing and integrating datasets from various high-throughput experiments. You will collaborate with other computational biologists and experimentalists to support research data management and collaborative projects. For international PhD applicants, positions are available with DAAD support across multiple groups, including ours. We encourage applicants with computational biology backgrounds or mixed wet-dry backgrounds to apply and list our group as a preferred choice.
If you have your own funding or are interested in applying for fellowships, we invite you to collaborate with us on developing hybrid projects at the intersection of aging, microbiome, and computational biology. Prestigious fellowship opportunities such as MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships, EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships, and HFSP LTF are available, requiring high knowledge transfer. We welcome postdoctoral candidates from non-biological disciplines as well.
How to Apply: Interested candidates for the bioinformatician position should check the ad on our institute website and submit their applications according to the provided instructions. For international PhD positions, applicants should refer to the institute’s website for more information and submit applications accordingly. Candidates with their own funding or interested in fellowships should contact Melike directly with their CV, cover letter, references, Google Scholar link, and a brief project description.
