Computational Scientist - Cancer Antigen Discovery | Bioinformatiker (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role is for a highly motivated Computational Scientist specializing in Cancer Antigen Discovery, joining an interdisciplinary Computational Genomics unit in Mainz. The successful candidate will be pivotal in identifying and prioritizing novel tumor-specific antigens for personalized mRNA vaccines and other immunotherapies. Day-to-day tasks involve analyzing large multi-omics datasets (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic) and developing innovative computational pipelines and models for antigen target detection, both for personalized and off-the-shelf therapies. This position requires close collaboration with internal teams, academic, clinical, and industry partners, contributing to the design of validation strategies using molecular and immunological assays, and presenting findings at international conferences. This is an attractive opportunity for a Ph.D.-level professional with postdoctoral experience seeking to translate cutting-edge bioinformatics research into clinical practice within a dynamic and collaborative environment.
