Dear colleagues,

we currently have a PostDoc position open in our Department of Molecular & Medical Virology at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.

https://jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/7ffe5e27154c1ab3a2c9eed13e7594a6e886f7480?ref=homepage

With the help of a grant by the German government, we are currently establishing a new research group for Computational Virology. The position is initially limited to five years; the employment relationship is based on the collective agreement of the Länder (TV-L). Depending on the fulfilment of the personal and collective agreement requirements, the position is classified in pay group 14 of the TV-L (you can find more information on this under: https://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/)

Application deadline is June 30^th 2022.

Our group combines strong expertise in RNA virus biology and bioinformatics. We study virus-host interactions of hepatotropic viruses, mainly hepatitis E virus (HEV), using -omics data sets. We aim to identify viral mutations associated with treatment failure and understand differential immune responses in patients suffering from chronic or acute HEV infections. Furthermore, we apply machine learning algorithms to identify viral signatures in large transcriptomic datasets. Besides well-established Illumina-based protocols, we are currently establishing Oxford Nanopore Sequencing and plan to set-up single cell RNA sequencing in our faculty.

Information about our research can be found at: www.virologie-bochum.de/computational-virology/

To complement our research team, we are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate. The candidate will be involved in all aspects of the new group, including own projects, supervision of Ph.D. and Master students and administration. Ideas for own projects are highly welcome and will be supported.

Thank you very much for spreading the information.

Best wishes,

Daniel Todt
