Bioinformatician in Heidelberg bei Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum

Position: Bioinformatician

Department: Single-cell Open Lab (scOpenLab)

Code number: 2021-0301

The German Cancer Research Center is the largest biomedical research institution in Germany. With more than 3,000 employees, we operate an extensive scientific program in the field of cancer research.

A position as bioinformatician for implementing a multi-module data infrastructure that links imaging and genomics data is available at the DKFZ. These activities are embedded in a larger initiative for bioimage data management that aims at participation in the national infrastructure for research data management (NFDI). The goals of this initiative (NFDI4BIOIMAGE https://nfdi4bioimage.de/en/start/) are to provide solutions for the FAIR management of bioimage data, including standards for data file formats, tools for multimodal data integration, bioimage data analysis workflows and advanced training.

We are looking for a bioinformatician or computational biologist to implement and maintain data processing and analysis workflows for imaging and sequencing data. The position will involve establishing an OMERO instance for standardized data management, metadata annotation and a framework that utilizes (containerized) software and benchmarking/QC assessment. The image database will be linked directly to omics data allowing researchers to cross-reference and annotate both image- and sequencing based datasets.
The successful candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary research and data management team developing and applying a diverse range of state-of-the-art methodology to implement and maintain data management and bioinformatics workflows. The role will involve close cooperation with other partners of the NFDI4BIOIMAGE initiative.

The project is coordinated by Prof. Elisa May, Dr. Jan-Philipp Mallm and Dr. Ivo Buchhalter at the DKFZ.

We offer:

• Interesting, versatile workplace
• International, attractive working environment
• Campus with modern state-of-the-art infrastructure
