The Vingron and the Ralser labs, located at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and the Charité, respectively, invite applications for a collaborative project between the Ralser lab and the Vingron Lab. This joint endeavor aims to explore phenotype predictions based on large proteomic datasets and machine learning approaches. We are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to fill a three years limited fulltime position, starting as soon as possible, as:

(up to E13 according to the TVöD Bund salary scale)

The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic, interdisciplinary team operating at the intersection of computational biology, machine learning, phenotype predictions as empowered by proteomics. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research leveraging state-of-the-art computational infrastructure and proteomic data to address fundamental biological questions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and apply computational workflows to analyze large-scale proteomic datasets.
• Implement machine learning models to predict phenotypic outcomes from proteomic and related omics data.
• Collaborate closely with experimental and computational scientists in the Ralser and Vingron labs.
• Contribute to the development of novel methods for data integration and interpretation.
• Communicate results effectively through presentations, reports, and peer-reviewed publications.

• PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, data science, or a related field.
• Expertise in data analysis, machine learning, and/or high-throughput proteomics.
• Strong programming skills (e. g., Python, R, or similar languages).
• Experience with proteomics data analysis tools and platforms is a strong advantage.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, and the ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary environment.

• A stimulating and supportive environment at two leading research institutes.
• Access to world-class computational resources and proteomics platforms.
• Opportunities for professional development and training.
• A vibrant and diverse international research community.
• Flexible working hours & arrangements.
