Computer Scientist/ Computational Biologist (f/m/x)

We are looking for a talented, curious Computational
Biologist/Computer Scientist with a strong interest in cancer genomics and cancer biology. The successful candidate will be involved in standardizing computational workflows, software development, large scale IT processes, highperformance computation, and developing novel concepts for the analysis of highly complex data sets in order to gain insight into cancer biology. Besides that the candidate will be responsible to handle standard IT tasks at our Department and manage the computational infrastructure for the SFB1399 project (e.g., data security, data sharing).

The position requires a university degree in a relevant field, such as physics, mathematics, computational biology,
bioinformatics or biostatistics; preferably an advanced degree (Master of Science, Ph.D.), but we also welcome applicants with a Bachelor of Science degree and equivalent work experience. Profound experience in the
computational/mathematical analysis of complex data sets as well as programming skills (preferably C++, R or Python) are mandatory. Candidates should have a genuine interest in cancer biology, good communication skills, and should be capable of driving projects with a high degree of independence.

Please submit your application including a detailed CV,
list of publications, two references and a brief statement of research interests.

We offer a great work environment, intensive mentoring and several interactions with global leaders, both from academia and industry. In addition, the highly collaborative research environment in Cologne provides us with access to state-ofthe- art core facilities, including genomics, proteomics and imaging.
