Full time, close to full time

27,3 - 39 hrs./week

Neuherberg near Munich

Partial Home Office possible

At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier

society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive

innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new

ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.

Spatial multi-omics technologies are currently pushing the boundaries of

single-cell profiling techniques. By measuring the position of every cell

alongside multiple views of cellular activity, these technologies promise to

deliver crucial insights to understand tissue function and regulation,

especially in diseases with distinct spatial patterning such as lung cancer.

The Core Facility Bioinformatics and Statistics (CF-BIOS)at Helmholtz Munich

is part of the SPACETIME project, an EU consortium studying how spatial

cellular organization changes with disease severity in non-small cell lung

carcinoma.

CF-BIOS provides comprehensive bioinformatics and statistical support for

diverse research applications. We work closely with data-generating facilities

and on-campus computational groups to deliver integrated, high-quality

workflows.Our servicesinclude the analysis of a broad range of omics datasets,

including single-cell, spatial and multi-omics applications, as well as

supporting large cohort studies.

The research scientist position (f/m/x)is embedded within CF-BIOS and you

will work closely with the SPACETIME consortium members and the data analyst

team at Helmholtz Munich.

The focus of the rolewill be the analysis of spatial transcriptomics and

multi-omics data generated within SPACETIME. Responsibilities include data

management, metadata collection and validation, generation of reproducible

analysis playbooks, developing and delivering training and documentation for

spatial analyses, development of applications and infrastructure to enable and

support meta data collection and data accessibility and exploration and

visualization across the consortium.

If you like to be part of a dynamic team and work at the cutting edge of

science, this full-time position (39 hrs./week, or if part-time minimum 70%)

may be for you.

Your tasks

• Ensuring reproducible analysis workflows for spatial multi-omics data in

close collaboration with a team of analysts

• Data management, meta data annotation and validation
• Design, implementation and evaluation of AI-driven tools and applications

• Supporting data processing and analysis, reusable workflow development,

documentation, and user training

Your profile

• Master or PhD in informatics, bioinformatics, engineering, or related

fields with corresponding work experience

• Strong programming skills (R, Python, Bash), versioning (Git)
• Demonstrable experience analyzing data from various next-generation

sequencing technologies, especially single cell sequencing and spatial- and

multi-omics technologies

• Experience with data management, metadata annotation, and with the use of

high-performance computing environments

• Team-oriented, proactive, service mindset with strong communication skills,

as well as english language proficiency

Desirable experience with (considered as a plus)

• Linux server and storage administration
• Developing and deploying multi-user software applications using modern

programming frameworks

• Performing complex spatial biology and multi-omics analyses
• Delivering training courses and developing educational materials

What we offer

• Opportunity to work within a large EU-funded international consortium
• Access to cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics and multi-omics datasets
• Collaboration with leading researchers in lung cancer and spatial biology
• Join an interdisciplinary, dynamic team with short decision-making paths

and a collaborative working culture
