Position:
Computational Postdoc**
Department: "Artificial Intelligence in Oncology" and "Regulatory Genomics and Cancer Evolution"

Code number:

The German Cancer Research Center is the largest biomedical research institution in Germany. With more than 3,000 employees, we operate an extensive scientific program in the field of cancer research.

For collaborative efforts between the labs of Prof. Dr. Moritz Gerstung (Division of Artificial Intelligence in Oncology) and Prof. Dr.

Duncan Odom (Division of Regulatory Genomics and Cancer Evolution), we are seeking a dry-lab postdoctoral scientist for the exciting intersection between large-scale genetic analysis utilizing experimental models, spatial biology, single-cell sequencing, tumorigenesis, and mutagenesis.

Due to the collaborative capabilities of these labs to both capture and analyze unique and large-scale genetic datasets using custom approaches, we have several running projects and new opportunities to delve into the fundamental forces driving tumorigenesis, tumor evolution, and spatial biology.

Amongst other projects, we are investigating the principles of lesion segregation, a potential mechanism describing the acquisition and passage of somatic lesions throughout tumor progression.

Other topics of interest include studying gender-specific molecular differences within the acquisition and maintenance of malignancies, the identification and classification of cellular populations and niches, and the development of both 'classical' and AI/ML-based computational approaches to help condense and interpret the full breadth of genetic and molecular features investigated.

Job description:
