Your Tasks:

Dissecting
genomic and post-transcriptional processes and their dynamics in pancreatitis
and pancreatic cancer.

Our
research focuses on genomic and post-transcriptional processes that facilitate
tumor evolution, tumor heterogeneity, metastasis, and drug resistance in
cancer. We aim to understand the dynamics of genome editing on the DNA and RNA
level, cellular signaling, and their impact on the microenvironment in the
context of inflammatory diseases and cancer. We employ cutting-edge
computational biology methods to identify genomic aberrations, mutations, and
post-transcriptional processes. In addition, we aim to verify those findings
functionally and mechanistically with various molecular biology assays using a broad
range of in vitro and in vivo platforms, including genetically engineered 2D/3D
cell-, organoid- and mouse models, and human specimens.

Our overall goal is to gain a better mechanistic understanding that can
be leveraged to identify novel treatment approaches to improve the clinical
outcome in patients with inflammatory diseases and cancer. Our lab is currently
growing to establish versatile cancer genomics, proteomics, and cell biology
platforms to make an impact on the development of novel therapies.

Your Profile:

• We are looking for a talented scientist driven by the desire to make a
  relevant contribution to the pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer field by
  discovering significant findings in the lab
• Knowledge of cancer genomics, proteomics, single-cell RNAseq, spatial
  transcriptomics, and molecular cell biology is recommended
• Prior research experience in computational platforms: single cell and
  spatial omics data structure: single cell and spatial omics analysis framework
  is encouraged but not a requirement
• The ability to drive projects with a high degree of excitement is
  encouraged
• The position requires a doctoral degree in a relevant field, such as
  biology, biomedical engineering, computational science, or bioinformatics

We Offer:

• EGYM well pass, corporate benefits and discounts (e.g. Käfer), cafeteria,
  sports and cultural offers
• Free use of the library through a branch of the Munich City Library
  located in the building
• Working in the heart of Munich at Max-Weber-Platz with very good
  accessibility by public transport such as the subway, S-Bahn or tram
• Company pension plan through the Federal and State Pension Institute
  (VBL)
• Self-realization through a varied and technically demanding job with
  interdisciplinary cooperation between various departments of the TUM Klinikum

We look forward to receive your application!
