Location: ViennaResearch group: Sabine Taschner-Mandl GroupWorking hours: FulltimeAre you looking to put your computational skills to the test?Are you fascinated by cancer biology and using multi-omics data to devise new treatment avenues?Then this project is for you!We are looking for a Bioinformatician (f/m/d) for the analysis of single cell transcriptomics and multi-modal tissue imaging with a focus on spatial genomics and proteomics tissue data. In this role, you will work in a leading center for pediatric oncology. The Taschner-Mandl Lab tackles unresolved questions of pathogenesis of cancer in children using experimental and computational approaches (e.g. Fetahu IS, Nat Comms, 2023). You will have the unique opportunity to focus on developing advanced computational tools and methods for analyzing multi-modal tissue imaging and spatial tissue omics data at single-cell resolution, ultimately contributing to a better understanding of cancer development and metastasis and the creation of innovative therapies to combat neuroblastoma, a severe pediatric cancer.Ihre AufgabenYour tasksYou will...
  • Analyze multi-modal single cell data, including spatial omics and high-plex images to identify clinically relevant biological signals.
  • Develop and apply novel machine learning and deep learning methods, particularly in genomics and computer vision.
  • Contribute to a prestigious research program with a clear and impactful mission.
  • Collaborate within a dynamic, multi-disciplinary research team and receive joint supervision from computational and biological experts.
  • Author manuscripts, present research findings at scientific conferences, and participate in advanced courses.
