University Düsseldorf. The position can be filled at the next
possible date and is initially limited for a period of two years.
Based on performance, the position will be extended (up to six
years). It is a qualification position in the sense of the Act of
Academic Fixed-Term Contract (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz
- WissZeitVG) with the aim of a „habilitation".
The Institute of Quantitative Genetics and Genomics of Plants is
member of the Cluster of Excellence on Plant Science (CEPLAS)
and aims to identify the causes of natural phenotypic variation of
crop plants on a molecular level, in order to attain an ultimate goal
- the prediction of phenotypic performance under various
environmental conditions. This requires combined efforts on
creating novel plant material, exploiting the possibilities of *omics
technologies, and developing innovative biostatistical and
bioinformatical procedures.
Your tasks:
- Development of bioinformatical/biostatistical approaches for analysing next-generation sequencing or other *omics data sets in the field "Unravelling and prediction of natural phenotypic variation of crop plants" and preparation of scientific publications
- Supervision of B.Sc., M.Sc., and PhD students
- Contribution to the preparation of research grants
- Contribution to teaching Quantitative Genetics and Genomics in German and English language (teaching duty of four semester periods per week)
- Contribution with her/his expertise to collaborative research projects of the Institute
- Further development of the Institute's scientific data bases and organisation of the bioinformatics infrastructure
- A completed scientific university education (M.Sc./M.A./ Diploma/Magister) in the field of (bio)informatics, quantitative biology or related disciplines, with a PhD
- Expertise in analysing next-generation sequencing and/or other *omics data sets
- Proficiency in Python and R programming
- Proficiency in Unix scripting, bioinformatics tools and databases
- Excellent skills in biostatistics
- Excellent communication skills in English (spoken and written)
- Documented independent scientific work
- High motivation, team spirit, and scientific creativity
- Organizational talent and mentorship experience
- Any of the following additional qualifications are an advantage: Expertise in genetics and molecular biology, teaching experience
- An interdisciplinary working environment in an international team of plant breeders, statisticians, molecular geneticists and bioinformaticians
- Active exchange and collaboration with partners from academia and industry in a field of constant technical and methodological development
- Very good possibility to establish an own research profile
