Bioinformatician for Metabolic Pathway Reconstruction (m/f/d)
As part of the Data Integration team, you will develop software to predict metabolic pathways based on data from BRENDA, BacDive and freely available genome sequences. Part of your work will be to map partially existing metabolic pathways to reference pathways, highlight gaps and also reconstruct new metabolic pathways. You will also explore novel methods of pathway visualization to automatically visualize metabolic maps. Your predictions and metabolic maps will be applied to more than 19,000 prokaryotic species and made available to hundreds of thousands of scientists via our newly developed web platform.
Excellent master's degree in bioinformatics, or a comparable field
Experience in object-oriented programming (PHP, Python, Java, C#, C++...) and databases (SQL, ArangoDB) as well as their modeling, hands-on experience with Python and JavaScript is a plus
You have good knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) methods; hands-on experience is a plus
Experience with graph databases and the corresponding query languages is beneficial
Experience with web development is a plus
Interest in metabolic pathways and networks, enzymes and reactions; theoretical background in biochemistry is an asset
Fluent in English / knowledge in German is beneficial
You are communicative, able to work in a team and willing to learn
You are interested in interdisciplinary work in a dynamic team
