BACKGROUND

We are a young Bioinformatics group within the Faculty of Biosciences and our research circles around biological sequence evolution in the broader sense. One main focus of the group is the analysis of biological sequences in a evolutionary and functional context. Ongoing projects include the development of new approaches for simulating protein sequence evolution and for efficiently predicting orthologs in large species collections. Moreover, we are interested in approaches to predict functional equivalence between proteins, as well as in phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses using high-throughput DNA sequence data.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Within our group you will have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing projects but we expect you also to pioneer new research topics in the areas of NGS analysis, RNAseq or comparative genomics. You will also participate in teaching activities within the university's Bioinformatics Bachelor and Master programs.

REQUIREMENTS

University degree in bioinformatics, computer science, molecular/systems biology, mathematics/statistics, physics, or related fields is required. We expect very good programming skills in at least one of the following languages: Java, Python, Perl, C, C++, or R. Experience in working with high-throughput biological data (either computationally or experimentally) is preferred but not strictly required. Strong communication skills and a willingness to collaborate and to teach on an undergraduate and graduate level is a must. We expect a very good proficiency in English. At least basic knowledge of the German language would be a plus.
