Postdoc Position Available – Computational/Statistical Genomics

Göke Lab – Computational Transcriptomics @ GIS

Our main research focus is the large-scale analysis of gene expression (‘computational transcriptomics’). We apply state of the art technology at the GIS to study how the transcriptome reflects clinical and molecular phenotypes. We analyse large scale transcriptomics data from cell lines, patient samples, and organoid models using bulk RNA-Sequencing, single cell RNA-Sequencing, long read sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics. Projects involve methods development for new transcriptomics technology (single cell RNA-Seq, long read RNA-Seq), statistical modeling of biases in high throughput sequencing data, and integration of electronic health records with genomics data. Currently we are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to analyse Nanopore Long Read RNA-Sequencing data.
