Topic: Multi-omics data integration for studying complex cardiovascular diseases and their associated comorbidities in large human cohort studies
Employer: University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany
Your tasks:

  *   Investigation of molecular processes and markers associated with complex cardiovascular diseases (e.g. heart failure), their heterogeneity, comorbidities, and molecular progression paths based on repeatedly sampled disease-specific human cohort studies
  *   Multi-dimensional and pathway-integrating analysis of multifaceted data (proteomics, metabolomics/lipidomics, transcriptomics, genomics, phenotypic/clinical) using state-of-the-art and newly developed algorithms
  *   Detection and comparison of disease subtypes for the development of personalized medicine in prevention, prognosis, and treatment

Your profile:

  *   Master degree in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Biomathematics, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Biomedical engineering or a related area
  *   Strong interests in human biomedicine (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity) and multi-dimensional data analysis
  *   Programming experience in R, python, or similar programming languages
  *   Sound statistical knowledge and experience in handling bioinformatics databases and tools
  *   Good communication skills and fluency in English
  *   Structured and independent work attitude

We offer:

  *   An interesting research project at the forefront of computational biomedicine related to cardiometabolic diseases.
  *   Access to several large and deeply phenotyped human cohort studies with high level of standardization and extensive multi-omics datasets
  *   A professional and cooperative work environment in a highly interdisciplinary research team
  *   A three year employment with salary according to the German public service salary scale TV-L E13, 65%
  *   A stimulating scientific environment with excellent facilities for professional and personal development
  *   Opportunities for child care (limited places available)
  *   Job ticket for public transport
