Hi Carsten,
[…]

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.

Could you forward it to the people who are qualified  and might be interested?



Best,
Altuna
