  • EMBL Heidelberg


EMBL is Europe's life sciences laboratory - an intergovernmental organisation with more than 110 independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology.

It operates across six sites in Heidelberg (headquarters), Barcelona, Cambridge, Grenoble, Hamburg and Rome.

Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; offer vital services to scientists in the public and private sectors within the member states; develop new instruments and methods; and engage actively in technology transfer.

Our laboratory has a track record in computational innovations for multi-omics integration, causal inference and machine learning. The fellow will work in a highly multidisciplinary setting embedded in our group.

This specific position is connected to the Novo Nordisk foundation funded MOPTIS project, which has the goal to develop novel computational strategies for modelling spatial omics and integrating such modalities with additional single-cell readouts.

Among the specific challenges we seek to address is multi-scale spatial tissue reconstruction, alignment for 3D tissue atlasing and population-scale semantic spatial omics integration in human cohorts.

Our group has access to unique spatial datasets in human disease contexts, which will underpin these computational aims.

Experience in working with omics data and analysis of next-generation sequencing datasets and/or imaging data are beneficial. Prior work with spatial omics technologies is a bonus but not required.

Why join us

EMBL is curiosity-driven, community-oriented and international.

As an inclusive, equal opportunity employer, we believe that diversity enables us to collaborate more effectively and be innovative in our approaches.

We are, therefore, committed to creating an inclusive and flexible culture - one where everyone can realise their full potential and make a positive contribution to our organisation.


EMBL offers attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation with a very collegial and family-friendly working environment.

Competitive salary and social security benefits, financial support for relocation, a relaxed culture, professional development, an on-site nursery, canteen and other staff facilities make EMBL a great place to work.

What else you need to know


We are Europe's flagship research laboratory for the life sciences - an intergovernmental organisation performing scientific research in disciplines including molecular biology, physics, chemistry and computer science.

We are an international, innovative and interdisciplinary laboratory with more than 1600 employees from many nations, operating across six sites, in Heidelberg (HQ), Barcelona, Hinxton near Cambridge, Hamburg, Grenoble and Rome.


Our mission is to offer vital services in training scientists, students and visitors at all levels; to develop new instruments and methods in the life sciences and actively engage in technology transfer activities, and to integrate European life science research.

EMBL is a signatory of DORA. Find out how we implement best practices in research assessment in our recruitment processes here.
