The Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences is a leading international research institute of exceptional scientific breadth. With more than 40 research groups and some 1,000 employees from over 50 nations, it is the largest institute of the Max Planck Society.
The department of Tissue Dynamics and Regeneration (Dr. Jochen Rink) invites applications for a position as
Bioinformatician (f/m/d)
About us
We are a young and thoroughly international department and our working language is English. We study the fascinating ability of some planarian species to regenerate complete animals from random tissue pieces and carry out worldwide field expeditions to study the evolution of regenerative abilities. Our approach is interdisciplinary in nature and encompasses various next generation sequencing techniques, including RNAseq, scSEQ, ATACseq, CHIPseq, Hi-C and long-read sequencing. We assemble and annotate genomes and mine them for regenerative mechanisms, scaling phenomena and other intriguing quirks of planarian biology.
About the position
We are looking for a talented and motivated Bioinformatician to join us. In this role, you support department members in the analysis and mining of NGS data sets, maintain the departmental analysis pipelines and databases and develop or integrate new analysis tools. You further interface with the Institute IT services and the computational service provider at the local university (GWDG). Close collaborations with department members and external collaborators are a core aspect of the position. The pursuit of personal research interests is possible and encouraged, including the possibility of mentoring Masters or PhD students.
