Job Offer from May 24, 2024
The Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing was founded in 2008 with the mission to unravel fundamental mechanisms of healthy ageing. It is part of a broad network of institutions in the Cologne-Bonn area dedicated to research on ageing and age-related disease, constituting a vibrant and collaborative environment.
The Bioinformatics Core Facility is looking for a new member with a strong background in Bioinformatics / statistics / data analysis. The group supports all institute members with state-of-the-art computational biology tools and analysis. Our range of services includes: Analytics, SaaS (Software as a Service); PaaS (Platform as a Service); IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). For the analysis of biological data, the core facility maintains itself up-to-date with continuously developing and emerging tools. Most of the work involves the channeling of data between known software or exploring data downstream of well-established pipelines. We do this with a developer's mind, making sure all our work is readily applied to similar datasets (more information on https://bioinformatics.age.mpg.de ). The Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne invites applications for a Bioinformatician (m/f/d).
