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
Our requirements:
  • 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
We offer:
  • 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
The pay scale grouping will be, depending on the personal qualification of the applicant (m/f/d), up to pay grade 13 TV-L.
In principle, the employment can also take place part-time, if no compelling official reasons are opposed in an individual case.
