Senior Metaproteomics Researcher
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher to join our team as a Senior Metaproteomics Researcher. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of advanced methods for metaproteomics research, focusing on the integration of multi-omics data and the application of machine learning-based algorithms.
The researcher will work closely with our team to advance microbiome science through metaproteomics, addressing One Health challenges by integrating research on microbial mechanisms, microbiome dynamics in various ecosystems, and translational applications in clinical and biotech fields.
This is an excellent opportunity to collaborate with a talented team of scientists from various disciplines, including computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists, and clinicians from over 50 countries.
Main Responsibilities:
* Develop and apply machine learning-based algorithms for identifying antibiotics-associated proteins and antimicrobial peptides.
* Integrate multi-omics data and improve workflows.
* Perform and support experimental studies across the METAMIC project, including metagenomic sequencing of field study samples from clinical or environmental use cases.
* Apply improved workflows in field studies.
Requirements:
* Masters, Diploma or equivalent degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, biology, or similar.
* Experience in structural and functional protein annotation (sequence homology- or protein structure-based).
* Familiarity with UNIX/LINUX-based operating systems and shared compute infrastructure.
* Proficiency in Python, R, or similar languages for data analysis.
* Proficiency in scientific English (written and spoken) is a must, German and/or French is an advantage.
