The University Hospital of Tübingen is a leading center of German university medicine. Every year, around 75,000 inpatients and around 380,000 outpatients are treated. With around 11,000 employees, it is the largest employer in the region. The quality of patient care is certified with the KTQ seal of approval.The Institute for Medical Genetics and Applied Genomics is looking for a
Research Data Analyst / Bioinformatician / Data Scientist (f/m/d)
for the Translational Clinical Genomics (Haack group). The full time position is initially limited to 2 years.
Our interdisciplinary diagnostics and research team (Haack group) at the Institute of Medical Genetics and Applied Genomics applies state-of-the-art genomics methods to research the molecular mechanisms of genetic diseases. As part of national and international networks, we are establishing new concepts for improved diagnostics and therapies for rare and oncological diseases. In addition to the latest technologies (e.g. long-read genome sequencing), we use integrative analyses of omics datasets for the comprehensive characterisation and improved clinical interpretation of genomic alterations. The close integration of clinic and research ensures the rapid translation of the latest scientific findings, technologies and methods into routine diagnostics. Our aim is to make these benefits available to all our patients and thus support the development of personalised therapies and preventive measures.
Specific responsibilities:
- Develop and implement statistical methods and analysis strategies to pinpoint clinically relevant genomic variation in individuals or via cohort-based approaches
- Interaction with bioinformaticians, data analysts and clinicians to introduce new features and continuously improve NGS data analysis pipeline functionality
- Participation in European research projects of the lab to develop and improve cutting edge molecular diagnostics (focus long-read technologies)
- Contribute to standardized detection/prediction and reporting of therapeutically targetable genomic variation
Your tasks:
- Minimum Qualifications Master's degree (MSc) in bioinformatics, biostatistics, human genetics, computational biology, or a related field, or equivalent in education and experience, plus three years of related experience
- Advanced degree in in bioinformatics, biostatistics, human genetics, computational biology, or a related field would substitute for experience. Strong foundation in statistical analysis and data visualization
