Position of a Bioinformatician
at the Department of Pathology at the Medical University of Vienna
(https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/hp/pathologie/)
We seek to fill the position of a Bioinformatician/Data Scientist (Post-doctoral Scientist level) at the Department of Pathology at the Medical University of Vienna (MedUni Vienna) (https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/hp/pathologie/) to work at the interface between basic and translational research and diagnostic applications. She/he will support the Renal Research Group headed by Professor Kain working on mechanisms of autoimmunity and will contribute to several existing projects and drive or participate in the planning of new ones. The work will include data mining and integration, data processing and interpretation and statistical analysis. Although the successful candidate will become a key member of the group, she/he will be offered the opportunity to develop their own research interest and will join a rapidly enlarging community of bioinformaticians at MedUni Vienna in a highly collaborative environment.
As member of one of the biggest academic diagnostic Pathology Departments in Europe, the candidate is also expected to develop bioinformatics tools for the routine molecular pathology laboratory that is currently extending its facilities and help the members of the laboratory with the development of diagnostic panels as well as the analysis of results from diagnostic specimen, such as database and informatics work (especially those related to NGS data).
Expected starting date: May 30th, 2023, for up to 2 years.
Salary: The gross salary for 40 hours per week is currently Euro 4.351,-- (14x per year) and can possibly be increased on the basis of the collective agreement regulations through the crediting of job-specific previous experience and other remuneration components associated with the special features of the job.
