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.
We are now looking for an postdoctoral/assistant researcher in bioinformatics. The position is full-time for 2 years according to a central agreement on temporary employment as an assistant researcher. The desired start date is January 1, 2021, or by agreement.
Resposibilities
An assistant researcher postdoctoral position is available to develop prediction methods for variation analysis and for analysis of large genomic data sets especially in the field of cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. The main task is development of algorithms and data analysis of massive genomic and other data.
