PhD candidate in Biomedical Data Science and Bioinformatics 

Chair of Computational Life Sciences 

The Computational Life Sciences group develops and applies novel mathematical and computational approaches as well as software tools for data analysis and modeling. The spectrum of applications includes oncology, immunology, and epidemiology. We are intensively collaborating with world-leading experts in the respective fields as well as in mathematics, and we are part of the excellence clusters ImmunoSensation2 and Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the University of Bonn.

We offer a position as part of DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center 1454 “Metaflammation and Cellular Programming” (https://www.sfb1454-metaflammation.de/).
