  • Data and IT infrastructural management. The candidate supports the management, storage and submission to relevant repositories of the various data types (i.e., omics and imaging) that are generated at the IMB, and collaborates with the IT staff and Senior Bioinformatician of the IMB to maintain infrastructure for administrative and teaching needs.

  • Training of IMB members in relevant areas of bioinformatics/computational biology. The candidate supports the training of PhD students and postdocs by organising individual sessions and regular teaching sessions (e.g., workshops) for the members of the IMB.

  • Development of tools and methods for biological data analysis. Initiatives to develop tools and methods for the analysis of omics data, also in the context of career development, are welcome.
