Postdoctoral Researcher (f/d/m)

Job Overview

We are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher (f/d/m) to join a large research consortium focused on the modulation of graft‑versus‑host and graft‑versus‑leukemia responses following allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Responsibilities

• Process and analyze high‑throughput multi‑omics data, including single‑cell RNA‑seq, ATAC‑seq, and spatial transcriptomics.
• Integrate complex omics datasets to refine cell‑type annotations and functional states.
• Develop novel algorithms and tools for visualization and analysis of cellular interactions and signaling pathways.
• Leverage machine learning and multi‑omics approaches to identify diagnostic and prognostic markers for different immune cell populations.
• Develop computational models to simulate molecular signaling (e.g., receptor‑ligand interactions) and their impact on systemic physiological adaptations and immune responses.
• Create and maintain reproducible bioinformatics workflows for a collaborative network of immunology and hematology laboratories.
• Present complex data findings to interdisciplinary teams and lead the preparation of scientific publications.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Informatics in the Natural Sciences, Biostatistics or a related discipline with intensive training/experience in bioinformatics.
• Proficiency in R, Python and/or Perl.
• Expertise in machine learning and high‑dimensional data analysis.
• Expertise in the analysis of single‑cell sequencing and other omics data types.
• Experience with Unix/Linux environments and version control.
• Strong interest or background in immunology, oncology, or transplant medicine.
• A solid understanding of statistics.
• Strong oral and written communications skills in English.
• Ability to work independently.
• A clear sense of organization, purpose, and accountability.

Command of the German language is not a requirement .

Benefits

• A part‑time fixed‑term position for the remaining funding period of the project (through the end of 2029; total duration depends on the earliest possible start date).
• A stimulating research environment with access to cutting‑edge facilities and collaboration with leading experts in the field.
• An exciting job within a motivated, open‑minded team.
• All the benefits of a collective agreement, including a supplementary pension from the Federal and State Pension Institution (VBL).
• Opportunities for professional development, international conferences, and career advancement.
• A comprehensive range of health promotion services.
• Thorough and qualified on‑the‑job training.
