This new resource will complement existing local infrastructures, such as a national NGS core facility (“CCGA”), the biobank “Popgen”, as well as the recently launched clinical data integration centre “MeDIC”. A primary goal of the platform will be the implementation of best-practice workflows for a range of bioinformatic applications, development of compute and data management infrastructures for clinical “omics” data, as well as providing data analysis support/training to interested researchers in Kiel and elsewhere.

Through this stimulating working environment, the candidate will have an opportunity to interact with colleagues both nationally (e.g., through our membership in the German Network for Bioinformatics, de.NBI) and internationally, working on diverse bioinformatic challenges, including clinical diagnostics, genome-wide associations studies, and complex data integration, and related software/infrastructure, to further improve her/his professional profile in these areas.
