Postdoc / research associate - bioinformatics in advanced therapy medicinal prod

The Faculty of Science and the Division Cell Systems and Drug Safety (CDS) of LACDR
 

Position: Postdoc / research associate – bioinformatics in advanced therapy medicinal products

 

Key responsibilities

The Drukker-Schröter group is looking to recruit a bioinformatics and biostatistics expert on a long-term basis for micro physiological tissue modeling and stem cell therapies. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer a new therapeutic horizon in human medicine, enabling the development and testing of drugs on iPSC-differentiated tissues, as well as serving to replace damaged tissues. Development and implementation of bioinformatics pipelines are crucial for these visions. We are keen to recruit a postdoc / research associate skilled in the art of transcriptomics and genomics of single cells and bulk populations, preferably with strong familiarity of developmental biology and cellular differentiation. In addition, applying biostatistics methods and machine learning approaches is an exciting frontier in development of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) that we are keen to apply for example in the high-throughput characterization of stem cells and cell therapies.

 
The postdoc / research associate will support graduate students, postdocs as well as undergraduate and Master’s students. He/She will contribute to the acquisition of research grants and writing of manuscripts.

Selection Criteria 

• Strong independent abstract thinking skills, hypothesis driven bioinformatics
• A PhD in bioinformatics/molecular/cellular biology/ computational biology
• Strong bioinformatics development and pipeline development and deployment competence
• Expertise in biostatistics, including machine learning and AI
• Previous experience in teaching, student supervision, and course development is preferred
• Scientific – publication and grants, writing skills is preferred
• Soft skills to supervise undergraduate and graduate students
• Experience as a lead bioinformatician is preferred
• Team player
