Postdoc (f/m/d) at the Hamburg Center for Translational Immunology (HCTI) Collaborate Research Unit

We are the UKE – the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf [Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf]. A pulsating centre of health in the heart of Hamburg. When you are surrounded by that much energy and when progress sets the pace, no two days are the same. More than 13,600 employees with very different responsibilities are united by the same goal: ensuring health and well-being.

What to expect
Fulltime/part-time

The project C3 “High-dimensional single-cell profiling in immune-mediated glomerular diseases” of SFB1192 is a joint project of PD Dr. Christian Krebs, Prof. Dr. Ulf Panzer (both Nephrology/Translational Immunology, UKE) and Prof. Stefan Bonn (Institute of Medical Systems Biology, ZMNH/UKE), which investigates the organ-specific immune response.
The project deals with high-dimensional single-cell analysis of immune cells in autoimmune diseases (Krebs et al. Science Immunology 2020; Marouf et al. Nature Communications 2020; Zhao et al. Science Immunology 2021). The newly established research profile area HCTI, including a new research building, offers optimal conditions for international top-level research in the field of immunology and systems biology.

Your tasks:
Analysis of in-house generated single-cell RNA-sequencing data sets
Integrative data analysis
Cooperation with different projects in the SFB1192
Development of new single-cell OMICS analysis technologies
What we look for in a candidate (f/m/d):
PhD (or MSc) in bioinformatics, computer science, molecular life sciences, biochemistry, biology or a relevant field
Experience with Python, R, Java, SQL and relevant analysis packages
Good knowledge of presenting research results
Good knowledge of English due to the international orientation of the working groups
Prerequisite: willingness to learn and develop single-cell data analysis
Ability to work in a team

What we can offer:
An innovative, family-friendly working environment right in the middle of Hamburg (day nursery, free child care during the school holidays)
Opportunity to participate in a wide range of vocational training, continuing and further education courses at the UKE Academy for Education and Careers, as well as a broad spectrum of introductory events
An attractive company pension scheme and the use of diverse and multiple award-winning health and illness-prevention offers

We can provide a working environment that offers equal opportunities regardless of age, gender, sexual identity, disability, heritage or religion. We uphold this by our adherence to the Diversity Charter. Specifically, we are aiming to increase the proportion of women in positions of leadership, in particular academic personnel in research and teaching. Priority consideration will be given to women in the event of equal qualification. The same applies in the event of one gender being underrepresented in the recruiting department. People with a severe disability will be given priority where they have equal aptitude, qualifications and professional expertise.
