Research Opportunities in Cancer Therapy and Tumor Cell Biology
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to contribute to various aspects of cancer therapy and tumor cell biology through -omics data analysis.
Main Responsibilities:
* Bioinformatic analysis of multi-omics data to elucidate the role of nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPK) in the tumor microenvironment and their potential influence on cancer progression and metastasis.
* Characterization of primary tumors and metastasis using multi-omics data sets (e.g. genomics, metabolomics) with focus on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics RNA sequencing data.
* Integrated analysis of clinical phenotypes and -omics data using biostatistics and bioinformatics.
* Application of a broad spectrum of established and new bioinformatics analysis strategies with focus on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics RNA seq and data integration.
* Capacity and enthusiasm to undertake training activities of a graduate program supported by programs of the Faculty of Medicine and the Graduate Academy of the University of Tuebingen.
Requirements:
* Experience and strong background in the analysis of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data and data interpretation.
* Strong programming skills in R, and preferably in Python.
* Excellent English written and oral communication skills.
What We Offer:
* A dynamic and collaborative research environment.
* The opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment and technology.
* A comprehensive training program to support your academic and professional development.
