DESCRIPTION

The Boztug lab at CeMM in Vienna is searching for a NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING BIOINFORMATICIAN to optimize data processing of high-throughput genomic data arising from various sequencing applications including exome, genome and transcriptome sequencing data, with the overall goal to fuel research on hitherto unknown monogenic human diseases.

The Candidate: We are looking for a highly motivated bioinformatician with a strong interest in contributing to the genomics revolution of biomedicine and with an interest in research on rare and undiagnosed Mendelian diseases. The candidate would be part of the Boztug research group but closely interact with technologists and bioinformaticians from the BSF. He/she is expected to be able to set up and maintain data processing pipelines for a variety of next-generation sequencing applications, with a focus on DNA sequencing, in particular, identification of single-nucleotide variants and small chromosomal mutations leading to the aberrant gene function. Wet-lab experience would be a plus but not a prerequisite. In addition, the role of the candidate will be to develop novel custom-designed algorithms for analysis of phenotype-based patient cohorts to identify underlying mutations and pathways. Excellent communication skills will enable intensive exchange with both wet lab scientists and other bioinformaticians at CeMM. Given that CeMM works in highly competitive areas at the forefront of biomedical research, intellectual curiosity, flexibility and dedication to science will be key success factors.
