„Research for a life without cancer“ is our mission at the German Cancer Research Center. We investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and look for new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more precisely and cancer patients can be treated more successfully. Every contribution counts - whether in research, administration or infrastructure. This is what makes our daily work so meaningful and exciting.
The Single-cell Open Lab at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is seeking from January 2025 a
Reference number: 2024-0333
The Single-cell Open Lab is offering a position for a bioinformation to support the analysis of spatial omics data as part of Multispace within the Health and Life Science Alliance Heidelberg-Mannheim (https://www.health-life-sciences.de/multispace/)
Our lab provides lab infrastructure to facilitate both single-cell and spatial omics projects. We work closely with the very active research community in Heidelberg on a variety of research questions. Specifically, we aim to support multi-omics workflows, such as combing spatial transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, by collaborating with other core labs across the campus. Integration of diverse datasets from the same or consecutive tissue sections will be crucial to build comprehensive molecular maps.
We are looking for a research scientist to
(i) conduct the bioinformatical analysis of these data, especially for benchmarking new instruments and technology advancements,
(ii) build transferable analysis frameworks and data sharing schemes,
(iii) support and educate users in running these,
and (iv) actively contribute to ongoing initiatives such as iofast for FAIR spatial data.
Thus, we are looking for someone with strong computational skills who wants to work in an interdisciplinary team and is willing to learn what is needed on the biology side. The candidate will have the possibility to further shape the theoretical spatial omics work of the lab in an inspiring environment.
