Title The Division of Core Facility Genomics & Bioinformatics, a scientific
infrastructure of Faculty V and VI, is seeking to fill the position of a
Bioinformatician/Computational Biologist (m/w/d)
(E13 TV-L, Full-Time)
Initially the position is limited to three years with the option to extend the
term. There is the possibility of personal scientific qualification
(habilitation). The position is suitable for part-time work.
Institution School VI Medicine and Health Sciences comprises the fields of
human medicine, medical physics and acoustics, neurosciences,
psychology and healthcare research. School VI forms the University
Medical Centre Oldenburg with the four regional hospitals. There is
also close cooperation with the University Medical Centre of the
University of Groningen.
Position The Core Facility Genomics & Bioinformatics is a scientific infrastructure
of Faculty V and VI, where the service concept is at the forefront. The
main aim is to support users‘ research projects with reliable and timely
collected data. Your work as a Research Scientist will be crucial in this
mission. In addition, the Core Facility Genomics & Bioinformatics
supports its users in project planning and in analysing the data collected.
The Core Facility Genomics & Bioinformatics is equipped with modern
high-throughput sequencing devices, which are adapted in line with
equipment development and scientific progress, as well as access to a
high-performance computing and storage infrastructure (HPC), which is
currently being expanded as part of multiple large-scale research grant
applications that are multi-institutional and inter-disciplinary in nature.
Responsibilities We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist with
experience in working with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data
to join our collaborative and supportive team. The ideal candidate will
have expertise in working with large sequencing datasets, developing
reproducible and scalable bioinformatics workflows, and creating
documentation and use-cases for novel software protocols. The
successful candidate will work towards contributing to the mission of
The Core Facility Genomics & Bioinformatics in supporting
researchers who are using NGS technologies at the University and
beyond, and work alongside with a team of dedicated professionals.
Your responsibilities:
- Establishing bioinformatics workflows to store and organize
diverse NGS datasets (e.g., (meta) genomics, (meta) transcriptomics,
etc). - Establishing bioinformatics workflows for the analysis of ‚omics
sequencing datasets that rely on state-of-the-art best-practices,
tools and strategies. - Supporting users in project planning and analysing the collected
data. - Participating in graduate and undergraduate teaching efforts.

programming, high proficiency in Python and/or other modern
and mainstream scripting and/or programming languages. -
Experience with workflow managers such as Snakemake or
Nextflow, distributed version control systems such as git,
container development and deployment systems such as
docker, and HPC workload managers such as slurm. -
Familiarity with the state-of-the-art computational strategies and
software libraries that are commonly used in the analysis and
interpretation of NGS datasets through applications of machine
learning, biostatistics, and/or visualization. -
High level of motivation, creativity, self-responsibility and selforganization.
-
Demonstrated experience in scientific paper writing, figure
making, and publishing processes. -
Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English.
Application We offer:
