The Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology in Freiburg, Germany, invites applications for a
Postdoctoral Position in Bioinformatics
which is available for an initial two-year appointment.
The group seeks to model the molecular mechanisms with which cells respond specifically to different environmental signals. Particular emphasis is put on the regulation of gene expression by transcription factors and chromatin modifications. To this end we invoke a range of interdisciplinary approaches from data mining, data modeling and network analysis. The group profits from direct access to genome-wide data from in-house facilities, such as a deep-sequencing center. This position also provides a unique opportunity for scientific interactions and collaborations with several experimental groups at the MPI-Freiburg and other institutes in the region.
Applicants must have a PhD in bioinformatics or equivalent experience in a numerical science. Prior expertise with the analysis of deep-sequencing data is a plus, as is a background in statistics.
Salaries will be based on previous experience according to TVöD guidelines. A childcare facility is directly attached to the MPI of Immunobiology. Handicapped applicants with equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment. The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in areas, where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
Candidates should send their applications (cover letter, CV, a summary of research interest, and the contact details of 2 referees) indicating the reference number 060310 via e-mail to [email protected] or to the Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology, Personnel Department, Stübeweg 51, 79108 Freiburg.
Applications will be accepted until 16 May 2010.
