Stellenangebot vom 23. Juli 2024Bioinformatic postdoctoral positions (m/f/d) at the Dioscuri Centre for Stem Cell Biology and Metabolic Diseases (Brno, Czech Republic)
We are seeking an experienced postdoctoral researcher with several years of expertise in bioinformatics data processing, as well as a strong understanding of developmental biology. You will join the DIOSCURI Centre for Stem Cell Biology and Metabolic Diseases, a newly established research group led by Peter Fabian. The center is in the Faculty of Natural Science at Masaryk University in Brno and operates under the auspices of the Dioscuri Program, initiated by the Max Planck Society.
You will have the opportunity to work with the zebrafish animal model to investigate processes that are crucial for the development and repair of the skeleton, particularly the facial region. In addition to studying stem cells, you will also focus on NICHE cells and their metabolic processes that support the long-term maintenance of the skull. Furthermore, your research will contribute to our understanding of human metabolic disorders such as Robinow syndrome and Alkaptonuria. The insights gained from your work may pave the way for future therapies aimed at restoring normal skeletal function.
What we expect from you
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, Informatics, Biology, or related field
- Previous experience in programming languages as Python, R, Java
- Good communication skills (oral and written) in English
- Understanding of molecular biology processes
- Creative and analytical problem-solving skills
