Computational Scientist / Bioinformatician (m/f/d)

The LIT - Leibniz Institute for Immunotherapy (foundation under civil law) (https://lit.eu) is a biomedical research center focusing on translational immunology in the fields of cancer immunotherapy, transplant rejection and autoimmunity. The objective of the LIT is to develop innovative and efficient cellular immune therapeutics in these areas. Our own GMP laboratories and close networking with University and University Hospital offer excellent opportunities for clinical translation of novel immune cell products. 

The Next-Generation-Sequencing Core Facility (headed by Prof. Dr. Michael Rehli) supports the LIT researchers in high-throughput data generation, processing, analysis, visualization and interpretation, as well as by providing IT infrastructure, software training and consulting services.

We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced
