- Integrated analysis of clinical phenotypes and -omics data using biostatistics and bioinformatics
- Application of a broad spectrum of established and new bioinformatics analysis strategies with focus on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics RNA seq and data integration
- Capacity and enthusiasm to undertake the training activities of a graduate program supported by programs of the Faculty of Medicine and the Graduate Academy of the University of Tuebingen to ensure greatest possible success in your career track
Qualifications
- Master degree (M.Sc.) in bioinformatics, applied bioinformatics or a related discipline
- Experience and strong background in the analysis of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data and data interpretation
- Experience in the analysis of multi-omics datasets (e.g. proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics)
- Strong programming skills in R, and preferably in Python
- Solid background in cancer biology
- Good knowledge in biostatistics would be beneficial
- Interest in oncology and personalized medicine
- Excellent English written and oral communication skills
We offer
- The opportunity to work in an interactive team providing support and mentoring
- State-of-the-art equipment and technologies for a wide range of different applications (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics) and expert knowledge within the different core facilities (e.g. core facility “Biostatistics/Bioinformatics, Pharmacometrics and Digital Science”) at the institute
- Participation in the PhD program
- The opportunity to communicate scientific results at international conferences and to participate in workshops
- A unique feature of the educational program is the co-supervision of each PhD student by a team of investigators, which contribute with their unique expertise to the progress of the projects
