[Socbin] PhD position in Computational Immunomics

[Pierre Doennes]

The Division for Simulation of Biological Systems, University of 
Tübingen, Germany, is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate for the 
Computational Immunomics group.

Computational Immunomics is a quickly developing field in the 
intersection of bioinformatics and immunology. Computational methods in 
immunology have proven helpful in the basic understanding of biological 
processes and in the development of vaccines against e.g. HIV and 
certain cancer types. Our focus areas include modelling of antigen 
processing, docking of MHC-peptides, and large scale analysis of 
immuno-proteomics data. The work will be carried out in close 
collaboration with experimental groups.

The ideal candidate should hold a Master’s degree or equivalent with a 
background in one of the following fields: bioinformatics, computer 
science, chemistry, physics, or biology. Knowledge of fundamental 
aspects of computer science (algorithms and data structures, discrete 
mathematics, programming languages) is required and some immunology 
experience is a plus.

The starting date of the project is October 1, 2005 and the salary is 
according to the federal salary scale (BAT) on the level of IIa/2. 
Applications including CV, cover letter, and naming of two academic 
referees are to be submitted by August 15, 2005.
