Computational Scientist (f/m/d) in Translational Immunology

in full-time (38,5h/week).\\nThe Sawitzki lab at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité – Universitäts­medizin Berlin investigates the molecular mechanisms of immune cell activation and regulation to reveal how components of the immune response themselves become a trigger of destructive inflammatory reactions, like in the context of autoimmune disease or post-acute infections (Post-COVID19). We are using state-of-the-art multi-omics technologies (cytometry, imaging, scRNAseq) as well as in vitro perturbation cultures to dissect causalities behind compositional changes of immune cells. We are an international research group and are looking for a highly interested and motivated bioinformatician for our BMBF-funded collaborative research projects "NKSG" and "CURE-ME" to support the analysis of the immune cells in Post-COVID19 and Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.\\n\\nWhat you can expect:\\nDevelopment, optimization, and application of robust and reproducible analysis pipelines for multi-omics datasets, including cytometry, proteomics, and scRNA-seq.\\nCollaboration with clinicians, basic researchers, and data scientists involved in research project implementation.\\nProcessing, visualization, and interpretation of analysis results within a scientific context (a background in immunology research is advantageous).\\nEngagement in scientific discussions with consortium investigators, the broader scientific community, and other stakeholders.\\nCollaboration with other scientists in our research group concerning omics data analysis.\\nLiterature review to stay updated on emerging methods, datasets, and discoveries in the field of multi-omics.\\nPreparation of R&D reports and scientific publications.\\nWhat you bring along:\\nMSc in Bioinformatics, Natural Sciences, or a related field, with at least two years of full-time practical experience in bioinformatics analysis within a research group in medical life sciences; a relevant PhD is an advantage.\\nStrong programming skills in R and/or Python with experience in handling and analyzing high-dimensional single-cell datasets (scRNA-seq, cytometry).\\nExtensive experience in multi-omics analysis and biostatistics.\\nProven experience in research projects within a multidisciplinary environment.\\nTrack record of publishing research findings in peer-reviewed journals.\\nStrong project and data management skills.\\nExcellent spoken and written English.\\nWhat we offer you:\\nA varied job in a forward-looking research institute\\nPay group E 13 TVöD VKA-K.
