DESCRIPTION

Do you want to be part of an international consortium committed to evaluate the impact of genetic variation in human transporters at the interface between biological systems and the environment?

We are looking for a bioinformatician / data scientist to build a resource for human genetics data on human transporters, incorporating data mined from public databases, data computed by machine learning analyses, as well as systems biology research data generated in large scale to functionally assess genetic variants in human transporters.

You will work in the Giulio Superti-Furga group (CeMM, Vienna) as part of the REsolution consortium, a spin-oﬀ project of RESOLUTE (https://re-solute.eu), comprising two pharmaceutical companies, one biotech and six academic research institutions. You will manage the research data for REsolution, support data analysis with setting up automated workﬂows, and set up a web-based database for sharing the results – all in collaborative exchange with the data science team of RESOLUTE.

Together we want to manifest the biomedical impact of human transporter research coupling state-of-the-art experimental and computational approaches.

REQUIREMENTS

Requirements and desired qualifications:

PhD in bioinformatics, computer science or similar experience
Experience with relational database management systems
Solid skills in R, Python and Linux
Experience with systems biology research data
Good understanding of the FAIR data concepts
Solid data visualization skills
Basic knowledge on web development
Experience with data workﬂow management tools is an advantage
Experience in big data and cloud computing is an advantage
Ability to work in a team and pursue goals in a focused way
Excellent written / oral communication skills in English

TERMS

Position: type Full-time employee
Start of work: 01.06.2021

COMPENSATION

We oﬀer:
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to join an exciting project in an inspiring and dynamic setting. In return, we are offering an excellent employee benefits package including health insurance, company health care, competitive holiday allowance, daily bonus for the in-house cafeteria and a monthly gross salary of at least EUR 3,889.50 (following the recommendations of FWF). We oﬀer a great work environment for passionate scientists and we are proud to be an international, diverse group. The contract for the position will be initially limited to 2 years, matching the project's duration.

HOW TO APPLY

CeMM aims to promote equality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, competences and potential. We welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds.

Responsible: Memo Mokhles

DEADLINE

Application deadline is March 8th, 2021 and the starting date will be June 1st, 2021.

ABOUT US

The REsolution consortium:
Starting on June 1st of 2021, the REsolution consortium is supported by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI, http://www.imi.europa.eu) and consists of 9 partners from academia and the pharmaceutical industry. The consortium is coordinated by the Superti-Furga laboratory and builds on the successful work of the RESOLUTE consortium, which focuses on the systematic deorphanization of SLCs and is creating open-access tools, high-throughput assays and omics data. While RESOLUTE is focused on basic aspects of SLC biochemistry and biology, REsolution will add a medical genomics dimension. REsolution will assemble human SLC genetic information, annotate the data within the RESOLUTE knowledgebase, study the structure-activity relationship for selected SLC variants, and use deep mutagenesis and artificial intelligence to develop better models for the interpretation of SLC genetic variation. Contextualization of SLCs in the human medical genetics landscape is an important step towards the establishment of the medically relevant but understudied SLC family as a tractable target class.

The Superti-Furga laboratory:
The Superti-Furga group (http://superti-furga-lab.at) is composed of an international team of more than 30 scientists working together on understanding drug function at the molecular level. The laboratory investigates how cells and biological systems in general manage access to the environment through cellular transport. In particular how access to nutrients and energy source is tuned to metabolism and need of individual cell types. Moreover, the lab has pioneered approaches for functional precision medicine. The laboratory operates on a truly multidisciplinary basis and involves functional genomics and proteomics, structural analysis, chemical biology, high-content imaging, bioinformatics and physiology, reflecting the blend of expertise of the laboratory members.

The Institute:
CeMM (http://cemm.at) is a flagship institute for biomedical research in the heart of Europe, Vienna. CeMM is committed to highest scientific standards. The environment is very collaborative, dynamic and international. One of CeMM's advantages is to be in close proximity to the Vienna Medical University Campus and the General Hospital (AKH). This allows the fruitful interaction of basic scientists with clinicians, and the use of models and cutting-edge technology to disease-relevant biological questions. According to a study by The Scientist, CeMM is ranked as the best European place to work in Academia 2012, internationally CeMM appears at the fourth place. The official language at CeMM is English, and more than 48 different nationalities are represented at the institute.
