PhD & Postdoctoral Positions in Computational Epigenomics, University Hospital RWTH Aachen, Germany (2016)

The Bioinformatics Group RWTH Aachen University performs research on computational epigenomic methods. Over the past years, we have developed methods for prediction of cell specific binding sites from DNAse-Seq data (Gusmao et al., Bioinformatics, 2014; Gusmao et al., Nature Methods, 2016) and epigenetic and regulatory networks driving cell differentiation via integrative analysis of ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq data (Allhoff et al., Bioinformatics, 2015; Lin et al., NAR, 2015).

We invite applicants for Phd Candidate and Postdoctoral positions in Computational Epigenomics.

Candidates will perform research on methods for analysis of single cell epigenomics as ATAC-Seq, DNAse-seq and ChIP-Seq. These projects will be performed in collaboration with stem cell and medical specialists from the RWTH Aachen University.

Applicants should hold a M.Sc./Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computer Science or related areas. Experience in the analysis of biological sequences, regulatory genomics and/or machine learning is desirable. The candidate should have solid programming skills (C, Python and R) and acquaintance with Linux. Experience with high performance computing is a plus. The working language of the group is English.

Interested candidates should send a brief statement of research interests, CV and the names of three references.
