<div dir="ltr">Hi Carsten,
<div>[…]</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have the attached Computational Biologist position to be filled. The job requires analysis of mostly (but not only) HT-seq data (ChIP-seq, RNAseq, PAR-CLIP, Bisulfite-seq) and method development for such analysis. Someone with the knowledge of statistics,
machine-learning, R and with enthusiasm would be great. The contract is offered in 2 year extensions, there is a possibility to get unlimited contract in the future.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could you forward it to the people who are qualified and might be interested? </div>
