Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Bioinformatics #Mainz, #Germany

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher position in the laboratory of Dr. Vijay Tiwari (www.imb-mainz.de/research-at-imb/tiwari). The successful applicant will contribute to internationally competitive research on epigenetic regulation of cell-fate specification during development. The group employs high-throughput epigenomics assays such as ChIP-seq and RNA-seq in combination with stemCell Biology and neurobiology and cutting-edge epigenetics and molecular biologytools. The resulting datasets are analysed using Bioinformatics, statistics and systems biology approaches to generate a comprehensive model of epigenetic regulation of gene expression during embryonic development.

Job Description:

• Analyse and integrate epigenomics datasets for solving complex biological questions as well as develop novel analytical tools for improved data analysis
• Study epigenetic mechanisms that regulate cell-type specification during embryonic development
• Obtain training in epigenomics, computational biology, developmental biology and gene regulation
• Have access to all IMB Core Facilities
• Collaborate with internal and external partners
• Work in close cooperation with a team of experimental and computational researchers to facilitate novel discoveries

Required qualifications:

• PhD in Bioinformatics or Computational Biology or Systems Biology or related areas
• At least one first author paper in an international peer reviewed journal
• Experience in analysis and integration of high throughput genomics datasets such as ChIP-seq and RNA-seq
• Programming skills in one of the following languages: Perl, C/C++,  or Shell scripting
• Good knowledge of analytical tools such as R or Matlab
• Motivation to solve complex biological problems especially in the field of epigenomics and experience
• in productively working in an interdisciplinary environment
• Good written and spoken English

How To Apply:

email a cover letter, your CV (in English), contact address of at least two professional referees and certificates of your degrees quoting Ref. No. #VTPD08 to personnel(at)imb-mainz.de. Informal enquires should be addressed to Dr. Vijay Tiwari (v.tiwari(at)imb-mainz.de). IMB is an equal opportunity employer.
