Since 2020, the DKFZ, together with other academic institutions across Germany, operates the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (GHGA) as part of the national program for research data infrastructures (NFDI). GHGA acts as a national node within the federated European Genome-Phenome Archive and the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI). Since 2025, GHGA data hubs also act as genome data centers within the German national sequencing program genomDE, making GHGA the largest research data infrastructure dedicated to genome research.
In order to develop the GHGA software platform into a state-of-the-art infrastructure for the secure exchange of genome data, we are seeking for the next possible date a Research Data Infrastructure Engineer.
