*Main tasks*
The Research Institute Children's Cancer Centre at the University 
Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf is looking for a highly motivated 
research assistant (PhD/Postdoc) in the Computational Pediatric Oncology 
working group (headed by Prof. Dr. Michael Bockmayr) starting 
01.03.2025. A later start can be accomodated in principle. We actively 
support and offer the chance to pursue a PhD alongside the project. The 
research group is dedicated to the development of quantitative methods 
for pediatric hematology and oncology. You will be involved in an 
exciting project in which machine learning methods are used to enable 
more accurate predictions of diagnosis, survival and therapy response in 
pediatric cancers from high-dimensional omics data, in particular 
single-cell sequencing data. Strong individualised support is guaranteed 
throughout the entire period. In addition, you can expect a motivated 
and dynamic team of physicians, natural scientists, bioinformaticians, 
technical assistants and students at the Research Institute, who are 
investigating pediatric cancers as part of various projects and with 
different approaches.

*Your tasks:*
     Development of clinically relevant classification algorithms using 
machine learning methods based on high-dimensional omics datasets.
     Integration of different molecular data types (genomics, 
epigenomics, transcriptomics at bulk and/or single cell level) with 
clinical variables
     Close collaboration with the experimental research groups at the 
Children's Cancer Centre and the clinical study groups
     Presentation of research results at international conferences and 
publication as first author in recognised journals

This position is to be filled with 100 percent of regular weekly working 
hours and is initially limited to three years due to third-party funding.

*Your Profile*
     Completed scientific university studies in the field of 
bioinformatics, computer science, data science, applied mathematics, 
physics, biomedical engineering or another relevant field
     Proven programming experience, especially in R or Python, good 
knowledge of ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
     Excellent knowledge of current machine learning methods
     Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across 
disciplines
     Proficiency in written and spoken English; familiarity with German 
is a plus but not mandatory
     Knowledge of omics data processing and basic molecular biology 
methods is a plus but not mandatory
     Knowledge of UNIX-based operating systems and version control 
software is desirable

We look forward to receiving a detailed application including a letter 
of motivation, CV, references, degree certificates, list of attended 
courses and, if possible, links to code examples, theses or publications.
