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 (Prof. Dr. Jochen Rink) invites applications for a position as
Bioinformatics Staff Scientist/genome database manager (f/m/x)
We are a young, international department and our working language is English. We study the fascinating ability of planarians to regenerate complete animals from tissue pieces and conduct worldwide expeditions to study the evolution of regenerative abilities within the taxon. Our scientific approach includes genome sequencing, comparative genomics and various next generation sequencing techniques. Further, we established and maintain PlanMine, the Planarian research community’s online resource ( https://planmine.mpinat.mpg.de/planmine/begin.do ).
We are looking for an experienced model organism genome researcher to spearhead and curate the further evolution of the PlanMine web resource. You will be an integral part of the department’s bioinformatics subgroup and involved in our ongoing genomics research. You will also interface with the local IT service provider (GWDG) and the university informatics department re technical aspects of PlanMine hosting and development. You will also bridge to the world-wide user community, e.g. by organizing curation efforts, parsing and implementing user suggestions or presenting new database features at international meetings. Thus, you will have the opportunity to remain at the cutting edge of big data management, expand your
world-wide contact network or to additionally pursue your own research interests in genome evolution.
The position should be filled as soon as possible; the exact start date is flexible. The payment and benefits are based on the TVöD (wage agreement for public service personnel) guidelines. Positions are initially limited to two years with a possibility of extension.
The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
The Max Planck Society strives for gender and diversity equality. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, transcripts and publication record
(if applicable), and the contact addresses of three referees as a single document, preferably as a PDF file. Please make sure that the cover letter clearly states your motivation for why you want to join the department and your relevant experience that qualifies you for this position. Review of applications will begin immediately. Please submit your application to
