Open Positions

We are always looking for skilled coworkers at the Institute of Bioinformatics at University Medicine Greifswald. We encourage anyone to apply who is currently involved or is highly motivated to get involved in research in systems biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, statistics and mathematical modeling applied to questions from molecular biology and medicine. As a successful group of interdisciplinary scientists, we are open to applicants with diverse backgrounds.

Please note also open positions in our partner group with Prof. Mario Stanke (Bioinformatics at Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science), here.

1 System Administrator   (Oct 5, 2020)

We have an open position (50% part-time position) for an it specialist / system administrator. The post holder will be responsible for the IT infrastructure of the insitute of bioinformatics, including server and network management as well as administration of the compute cluster maintained at the institute.

We are looking for someone with profound knowledge of the Linux / Unix operating system, and experience in administration of local area networks involving seceral unix- and windows-based server systems.

The position is initially limited to 2 years, with the possibility of prolongation and permanent employment subsequently.

Candidates interested in applying, please contact Lars Kaderali with a brief motivation letter, CV and relevant certificates.

1 Postdoc in Mathematical Modeling of Viral Infections   (Jul 1, 2021)

We have an open positions for a Postdoc on mathematical modelling of infection and immune response. The postoc will play a key role in the group and will lead efforts in mathematical modeling of viral infection and immune response, including for SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses. Tight collaboration with experimental groups is expected, as well as willingness to engage in multi-disciplinary research. We expect candidates to have a background in mathematics, computer science, bioinformatics, systems biology, physics, engineering or related disciplines, with experience in mathematical modelling. Prior experience in virology or biological applications is an advantage, but not required.

Applicants must already have authorization to work in the European Union (Visa & work permit).

To apply, please send an informal email including a motivation letter and CV, as well as relevant degree certificates, by email to Lars Kaderali.

1 Postdoc in Machine Learning in Medicine   (Jul 1, 2021)

We have an open positions for a Postdoc on machine learning in medicine. The postdoc is expected to develop and pursue his own research program on machine learning in medicine, in tight collaboration with clinical groups on campus. The focus should be on interdisciplinary applications; while we expect the successful candidate to have a strong theoretical background, we require willingness to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration and a strong drive to translate and apply machine learning algorithms in the clinic.

Applicants must already have authorization to work in the European Union (Visa & work permit).

To apply, please send an informal email including a motivation letter and CV, as well as relevant degree certificates, by email to Lars Kaderali.

1 PhD Student in Modeling of Viral Infections   (Jul 1, 2021)

We have an open position for a PhD Student on Mathematical Modeling of Viral Infections. The student will be involved in developing mathematical models of viral replication and immune response for +RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, and will support our ongoing research activities in the field.

To apply, please send an informal email including a brief motivation letter and CV, as well as relevant degree certificates, by email to Lars Kaderali.

1 PhD Student in Machine Learning for integrative Multi-Omics   (Sep 16, 2021)

At the Institute for Bioinformatics at the University Medical Center Greifswald, a PhD position for 3 years on the topic of "ML approaches for integrative multi-omics" is to be filled. The project includes the analysis of "Single-Cell Sequencing", "Microbiome" and "Mutational Signatures" in transcriptome and genome data sets. In addition to the evaluation of high-throughput data sets and their normalization, it is also about post-hoc analyzes for the functional analysis and identification of marker genes and their linkage to clinical data and environmental influences. The application of various analysis tools and their visualization and processing is a focus here.

To apply, please send an informal email including a brief motivation letter and CV, as well as relevant degree certificates, by email to Stefan Simm.

Diploma, Bachelor and Master Students

We have always openings for Diploma, Bachelor and Master Thesis projects, and encourage students interested in one of the research areas of the group to apply. For a (non-exhaustive) list of actual thesis proposals please visit here. We are constantly getting new data and projects which can also lead to publications including You as an author and are open to additional suggestions for possible thesis topics within the area of research of the group. Interests are Modeling, Omics and Deep Sequencing, AI in medicine and biology and biostatistics. If you are interested, please contact Lars Kaderali or Stefan Simmfor additional information.

Please note that we do not offer funded positions for diploma / master / bachelor theses.

Internships

For information on internship opportunities please contact Lars Kaderali with your CV, and brief information what kind of internship you would like to do, when and for how long.

Please note that we normally cannot provide any funding for internships.

Application Procedure

Diploma, Bachelor, Master students and students interested in an internship please contact us directly by email and provide some background information about your study field and possible topics of interest for your work.

PhD candidates please send your full application including CV, list of publications if any, and transcripts of relevant certificates (Diploma / Master, Bachelor / Vordiplom, High School degree) to the address indicated below.

PostDoc candidates please in addition to the above documents submit a short research proposal and addresses and email of three qualified referees of your choice.
