Research Core Unit Genomics Bioinformatician / Data scientist (f/d/m)
The Hannover Medical School (MHH), with about 10.000 employees the biggest company of Lower Saxony, is a university institution for research and teaching in the human and dental medicine and a university hospital of supra-maximum medical care. Research, teaching, medical care and administration work hand in hand in the integration model at the MHH-campus. The RCUG (www.mhh.de/genomics) is a research-driven service facility. Since its formation in 2017, the RCUG is open to all departments at the MHH and selected external partners for the realization of sequencing-based projects. The extensive expertise of the personnel in the fields of planning, technical execution, analysis, and publication of genome-wide studies has been acquired during many years of research in their respective fields.
Modern cluster computational infrastructure, various sequencing technology platforms, and data analysis pipelines are established.
Key aspect of the applicant's work will be the analysis of 2nd and 3rd generation sequencing data in various research projects conducted on site (mainly genomics and metagenomics applications).
