BACKGROUND
The Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing was funded in 2008 and is quickly becoming the centre of a unique network of research institutes dedicated to related questions. In our institute, scientists are using a number of different model systems combined with theoretical approaches to address this fundamental question in biology.
Our Interests: Our group (lab Habermann) has the following projects to offer: analysis and integration of biological data (NGS, expression-, functional screens, proteomics); algorithm development for sequence analysis (proteins, nucleic acids); motif discovery (proteins, nuceic acids); software development for biological research; understanding epigenetics in ageing; We work in very close collaboration with biological research labs here in Cologne, as well as world-wide.REQUIREMENTS
- You hold a master degree or diploma in one of the following fields: Biology, Bioinformatics, Physics, Mathematics or Computer Sciences.
- Programming experience is required (Perl or Python; additional knowledge of Java or C/C++ would be a plus).
- The working language of our institute is English.
