Injury in an orga­nism leads to major chan­ges in cel­lu­lar orga­ni­za­tion and alte­ra­ti­ons of gene regu­latory pro­grams. Such alte­ra­ti­ons now become visi­ble in unpre­ce­den­ted detail with sin­gle cell tech­no­lo­gies. To streng­t­hen our diverse team, we are loo­king for a post­doc­to­ral fel­low to study sin­gle cell multi-omics as part of the DFG sequen­cing pro­ject „The uni­que rege­ne­ra­tive state of spi­nal pro­ge­ni­tors“. We will inves­ti­gate sin­gle-cell beha­viour in zebra­fish in the con­text of spi­nal cord rege­ne­ra­tion using sin­gle cell omics, such as simul­ta­ne­ous sin­gle cell RNA- and ATAC-seq. Using multi-omics data inte­gra­tion and machine lear­ning, we will inves­ti­gate beha­viours and gene-regu­latory net­work chan­ges in spi­nal pro­ge­ni­tor cells in response to spi­nal cord injury. The pro­ject is a col­la­bo­ra­tion bet­ween the Chair of Neural Deve­lop­ment and Rege­ne­ra­tion (Prof. Cathe­rina Becker) and the com­pu­ta­tio­nal Rese­arch Group Bio­me­di­cal Geno­mics (Dr. Anna Poe­tsch), where this posi­tion will be based. The suc­cess­ful can­di­date will have the oppor­tu­nity to receive trai­ning in cut­ting-edge methods in multi-omics data inte­gra­tion and the pos­si­bi­lity to learn and apply machine lear­ning and deep lear­ning methods on geno­mics data.

The BIO­TEC/CMCB is a renow­ned inter­di­sci­pli­nary and inter­na­tio­nal rese­arch insti­tute of the TUD that boasts a col­la­bo­ra­tive spi­rit and cut­ting-edge tech­no­logy plat­forms, inclu­ding one of the natio­nal genome cen­tres and cut­ting-edge High Per­for­mance Com­pu­ting resour­ces. The city of Dres­den pro­vi­des nume­rous chan­ces for sci­en­ti­fic exchange and col­la­bo­ra­tion.

TUD stri­ves to employ more women in aca­de­mia and rese­arch. We the­re­fore expressly encou­rage women to apply. The Uni­ver­sity is a cer­ti­fied family-fri­endly uni­ver­sity and offers a Dual Career Ser­vice. We wel­come app­li­ca­ti­ons from can­di­da­tes with disa­bi­li­ties. If mul­ti­ple can­di­da­tes prove to be equally qua­li­fied, those with disa­bi­li­ties or with equi­va­lent sta­tus pur­suant to the Ger­man Social Code IX (SGB IX) will receive prio­rity for employ­ment.
Please sub­mit your com­pre­hen­sive app­li­ca­tion inclu­ding the usual docu­ments (inclu­ding a let­ter of moti­va­tion, your CV inclu­ding a list of publi­ca­ti­ons, tran­scripts of records, and con­tact details for 2-3 aca­de­mic refe­ren­ces) by April 13, 2023 (stam­ped arri­val date of the uni­ver­sity cen­tral mail ser­vice app­lies) pre­fer­a­bly via the TU Dres­den Secu­re­Mail Por­tal https://securemail.tu-dresden.de by sen­ding it as a sin­gle pdf docu­ment to sabine.zeissig@tu-dresden.de, or to: TU Dres­den, BIO­TEC, For­schungs­gruppe Bio­me­di­zi­ni­sche Geno­mik, Frau Dr. Anna Poe­tsch, Helm­holtz­str. 10, 01069 Dres­den, Ger­many. Please sub­mit copies only, as your app­li­ca­tion will not be retur­ned to you. Expen­ses incur­red in atten­ding inter­views can­not be reim­bur­sed.
