Job Summary

As a Computational Biologist at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), you will join an interdisciplinary team to investigate the role of RNA modifications in skin cancer progression and therapy resistance. Your day-to-day work will involve developing and applying advanced computational methods to integrate complex datasets, specifically nanopore-based direct RNA modification sequencing with multi-omics data such as spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. You will collaborate closely with molecular biologists and clinicians to build analytical frameworks that decode tumor heterogeneity. This role is ideal for a highly motivated researcher looking to work at the intersection of RNA biology and precision medicine within a world-class scientific environment. You will benefit from state-of-the-art infrastructure, a global research network, and a supportive, family-friendly workplace that prioritizes professional development and personal well-being.
