We are now looking for a assistant researcher in protein bioinformatics. The position is full-time for two years according to a central agreement on a fixed-term employment as a assistant researcher. The desired start date is April 1, 2020 or by agreement.
The research group
Protein Structure and Bioinformatics group investigates genetic and other variations and their effects on DNA, RNA and protein, on structural, functional and other levels. We have developed several of the most reliable variation effect predictors like PON-P2 and PON-MMR for variant pathogenicity, PON-Sol and PON-Stab for molecular effects and PON-mt-tRNA and PON-BTK for molecule-specific predictions. We use and develop bioinformatic methods to reveal the significance of the variants especially in the relation of diseases.
Resposibilities
The assistannt researcher position is available to develop prediction methods for variation interpretation and analysis of large genomic data sets. The main task is development of machine learning algorithms to address consequences and mechanisms of variants related to massive genomic data.
