Working at Charité

Our research group investigates the molecular mechanisms of aggressive hematologic malignancies using computational genomics and translational approaches. We integrate next-generation sequencing, single-cell multi-omics, and statistical modeling to study tumor biology, immune escape, and therapy resistance.

A major focus is Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). Using large, clinically annotated cohorts, we aim to identify genomic risk markers and develop molecular tools for personalized treatment.

The project combines large-scale sequencing datasets, single-cell transcriptomics, and integrative bioinformatic analyses in close collaboration with clinical and experimental partners.

Overview of the position

  • Analysis of bulk and single-cell NGS datasets (WES/WGS, scRNA-seq, ATAC-seq)
  • Development of reproducible bioinformatic pipelines
  • Integration of genomic, transcriptomic, and clinical data
  • Development of statistical and predictive models
  • Data visualization, interpretation, and communication of results
  • Collaboration with experimental and clinical researchers
  • Supervision of PhD and MD students

What we are looking for

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with a strong background in bioinformatics and computational genomics, and a clear interest in cancer research and/or hematology, single-cell multi-omics, and data science. 
The postdoctoral researcher will play a central role in the computational design, implementation, and interpretation of genomic analyses within this translational research project.

Essential

  • PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Data Science, Biostatistics, or related field
    Experience in NGS data analysis (bulk and/or single-cell)
  • Programming skills in R and/or Python and experience with Bash/Linux
  • Strong statistical and analytical skills
  • Excellent English communication skills and ability to work in interdisciplinary teams

Desirable

  • Experience in cancer genomics or single-cell genomics
  • Experience with multi-omics integration or predictive modeling
  • Prior supervision experience
  • German language skills
