Bern, Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Vollzeit
The Interfaculty Bioinformatics Unit of the University of Bern is a competence center for
"Bioinformatics and Computational Biology" and provides - besides own research projects - expertise
to help researchers with the planning, implementation, and analysis of next generation sequencing
(NGS) experiments. We collaborate on a wide range of projects in the life sciences and biomedical
sciences. We run a High Performance Compute cluster used by researchers of UniBe and UniFr and
also direct the "MSc in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology".

Tasks

Your responsibilities will include

  • Primary processing of data from NGS experiments, for example: RNAseq, whole genome or
whole exome resequencing, metagenomics, de novo assembly

  • Improvement and implementation of existing and new analytical pipelines (RNAseq, scRNAseq,
metagenomics, etc.)

  • Collaborate with researchers on all data analysis steps, in particular complexity reduction
(e.g. GSEA), various statistical analyses and data visualisation

  • Consult researchers with the planning of NGS experiments
  • Teaching practical courses in bioinformatics/biostatistics

Requirements:

Ideally, you have a PhD in biology, bioinformatics or biostatistics and
- proven experience with NGS data analysis
- proven experience in developing analytical pipelines (e.g. using snakemake)
- proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g. C++, Python, R, Java)
- a strong interest in working on different projects in a collaborative role
- experience in biostatistics and/or machine learning
- very good organisational skills; demonstrated ability to handle multiple projects in parallel
- a demonstrated ability to collaborate with researchers from various fields

The working language of our group is English. Knowledge of German is useful but not required.

We offer

  • A 2 year position as a staff scientist, with the possibility for extension
  • A supportive working environment and excellent computational resources
  • Very varied work and the opportunity to learn new technical skills
  • Starting date upon agreement
