Bioinformatician | Bioinformatiker (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This Bioinformatician position at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) is crucial for an innovative research project focused on adapting African catfish to recirculating aquaculture and enhancing their genetic traits. The role involves developing and validating statistical genetic approaches for practical breeding through simulation studies, and then integrating these into production at a large catfish farm. Day-to-day, you will be examining genome-wide DNA data to identify associations with production and health traits, contributing to practical guidelines for catfish breeding. This position is attractive for those eager to apply bioinformatics and quantitative genetics in a real-world agricultural setting, contributing to sustainable livestock farming and animal welfare, supported by a multidisciplinary team and flexible working conditions.
