We are looking for support in our Computational Medicine unit to start as soon as possible. The
Computational Medicine team strongly collaborates with other units in TRON and with external partners to
develop innovative immunotherapies against cancer and other diseases. The successful candidate will be
responsible for coordinating and analysing internally generated or publicly available sequencing data and
interpret, report, and discuss the results within interdisciplinary research teams. Depending on the individual

Excellent data visualization and communication skills
Proficiency working in a Linux HPC environment, including the use of job schedulers
Programming experience, preferably in R and Python, and hands-on experience with version control
systems (e.g. git)
Experience in long-read sequencing data analysis is a plus
Any experience in using, developing, and maintaining analysis workflow tools (e.g. Nextflow) as well as a deep
understanding of cancer biology and immunology would be advantageous. Enthusiasm and curiosity for the
various activities of our research institute as well as the ability to work in a team completes your profile.
