The Computational Cancer Genomics Lab investigates condition-specific mechanisms of tumor progression through the analysis of large-scale cancer genomics data. We are currently seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatician to join our team. In this role, you will analyze large-scale multi-omics and cancer genomic datasets. Our ultimate goal is to unravel how cancer driver genes—with a primary focus on p53 mutations—alter their mode of action depending on specific mutational contexts, paving the way for improved precision cancer therapies.

Selection Criteria

- Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, Computer Science, Genomics, or a related quantitative field.
- NGS Data Analysis: Practical experience in processing, quality control, and analysis of large-scale sequencing data (e.g., WGS, WES, RNA-seq).
- Statistical & Computational Modeling: Proven track record of developing computational or statistical models for biological data interpretation.
- Pipeline Development: Experience in building, automating,



and scaling bioinformatics pipelines for high-throughput genomic data.
- Cancer Genomics: Prior research experience in cancer genomics, somatic mutation analysis, or structural/position-specific variant interpretation is a strong plus.
- Programming Languages: Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in bioinformatics, such as R, Python, or equivalent languages.
- Sequencing Data Analysis: Hands-on experience in processing and analyzing large-scale sequencing data.
- Computing Environment & Workflows: Familiarity with High-Performance Computing (HPC)/supercomputing cluster environments and workflow management systems.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are required. All application materials, including a detailed CV, must be submitted in English.
