postdoc data scientist for Multimodal Metabolomics & Lipidomics

About

The Core Facility Metabolomics of the Medical Faculty of the University of Tübingen, Southern Germany, is looking for a highly-motivated and experienced postdoc data scientist for Multimodal Metabolomics & Lipidomics (LC-MS, NMR, MALDI) including Mass Spectrometry Imaging.

The open position shall be filled at the earliest possible date with a graduated scientist f/m/d (PhD in computational metabolomics, bioinformatics, chemometrics, biology or similar) in full time with an initial duration of 1.5 years and potential option of extension. Located at the new M3 Research Center (https://www.medizin.uni-tuebingen.de/de/das-klinikum/einrichtungen/zentren/m3), the Core Facility is embedded in an excellent scientific environment and stands out through strong interdisciplinarity.

The Core Facility is equipped with cutting-edge analytical systems for the preparation and analysis of biological samples such as tissue, organoids and biofluids from a variety of different human diseases (cancer, neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders) or animal models. We have furthermore a strong computational cluster at the M3 Center, aiming to explore large untargeted and spatial metabolomics data also by AI and computational approaches.

Responsibilities

• Head data scientist for data analysis at a cutting-edge Core Facility
• Implementation and development of data analysis in Metabolomics & Lipidomics
• Development of data analysis pipelines for multiparametric MALDI imaging
• Annotation, quality control and analysis of datasets (MALDI-MS, LC-MS/MS, NMR)
• Creation and maintenance of databases for reference spectra and measurement data
• Client communication, project management, and preparation of reports and invoices
• Support with teaching, publications, and third-party funding applications

Qualifications

• Completed PhD in the field of Systems Biology or Computational Sciences
• Focus on Chemometrics (Bioinformatics, etc.) and Metabolomics/Lipidomics
• Proven practical knowledge of programming languages (R, Python, etc.)
• Experience and open for new AI methods and to develop new pipelines
• Strong expertise in Metabolomics, Lipidomics, MALDI Imaging with publication track
• Passion for bioinformatic data analysis in a clinical environment and Core Facility
• Structured and organized work style with a high degree of self-responsibility
• Strong ability to work in a team and manage multiple parallel projects simultaneously

Benefits

• Ability to work with latest multimodal metabolomics data in a top German university
• Writing, contribution and participation in peer-reviewed publications and grants
• Participation in international conferences, research programs and training courses
• Engagement in scientific and industrial collaborations and research networks

Application

Send your application via Email to Dr. rer. nat. Christoph Trautwein, christoph.trautwein@med.uni-tuebingen.de.

The application should contain:

• A cover letter
• CV including a complete list of publications

We apply the collective agreement for the public service of the states in Germany (TV-L), Severely disabled people will be given priority if they are equally qualified. Since the University of Tübingen wants to increase the proportion of women in science, women are strongly encouraged to apply.
