Job Description
Within the Department of Pulmonary Medicine, we are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic bioinformatician who will join us in developing neoantigen peptide-based cancer vaccines for the treatment of pancreatic cancer patients.
Your Main Tasks Will Include
- Develop and maintain a bioinformatics pipeline for neoantigen identification.
- Analyze next-generation sequencing data (WES, RNA-seq) to identify tumor-specific mutations.
- Implement and optimize machine learning algorithms for neoantigen prediction.
- Integrate public and proprietary datasets to improve pipeline accuracy.
- Collaborate with wet-lab scientists to validate predicted neoantigens.
- Maintain and document computational workflows to ensure reproducibility.
- Contribute to research publications and grant applications.
For candidates interested in pursuing a PhD, this position may provide an opportunity to develop into a PhD trajectory, depending on the candidate’s ambitions and performance, project progress, and funding availability.
