61961: Master student in a technical or scientific discipline (f/m/x) - How will digitalization change the energy system of the future?
Job description:
The research group "Computational Genomics and Systems Genetics" of Prof. Dr. Oliver Stegle (https://www.dkfz.de/en/bioinformatik-genomik-systemgenetik/ ) is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an ambitious project to explore how the tumour microenvironment (TME) drives malignant cell states in glioblastoma (GBM) using large-scale spatial multi-omics. Funded as part of the Wellcome Leap program, the project GBM-space will bring together internationally leading experts to integrate single cell transcriptomics, epigenomics and spatial RNA/DNA-sequencing to systematically deconstruct TME-GBM cell interactions and plasticity in situ.
Our research group has a track record in the development of tailored computational methods for high-throughput omics data, machine learning for multi-omics integration and spatial omics. The successful candidate will lead the computational aims the BGM-space project. A major opportunity within GBM-space is to develop novel analytical strategies and concepts for integrating spatial multi-omics datasets, thereby allowing to unravel intratumor heterogeneity in space.
You will be affiliated with the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Stegle and collaborate with the partners of the GBM-space project at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Cambridge and the Crick. The position will also be connected to a vibrant local ecosystem for data science and machine learning, including the recently funded ELLIS Life Heidelberg unit. We seek to build on previous expertise and methods devised by our team (see below).
