BACKGROUND

The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics is looking for a Bioinformatician in Immunogenetics. The position will be available in the Boehm department (http://www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/boehm). The Boehm group addresses a number of cutting-edge research questions related to the development and evolution of the vertebrate immune system (for recent review see, Annu Rev Immunol 36, 19,2018; Annu Rev Anim Biosci 2, 259,2014; Nat Rev Immunol 13, 831,2013). To support these studies, we seek an experienced bioinformatician with a strong background in sequencing data analysis, statistics and, ideally, prior exposure to immunogenetics studies. This position is open immediately and funded for two years, with the possibility of extension

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design of sequencing experiments
Processing and quality control of NGS datasets of whole genome and amplicon bisulfite sequencing
Discovery of differentially methylated regions
Variant calling
Analysis of differential gene expression (bulk and single-cell RNA) and gene module calling
TCR clonotyping
Analyses of sequence homologies and conservation
Reference genome and transcriptome assembly and annotation in non-model organisms
Phylogenetic and comparative genomics analyses
Development and implementation of custom analysis pipelines in collaboration with wetlab scientists

REQUIREMENTS

We are looking for a dedicated and motivated team player with strong communication skills and good command of the English language, holding a MSc or PhD degree in bioinformatics or biology with a clear computational component.
