• Computational BiologyPart time with 65% | Salary according to TV-L 13 | Job ID : 10015 The lab for Functional Genomics in Psychiatry at the Department of Mental Health, University Muenster, Germany offers a PhD position, limited initially to 3 years.The mission of the Ziller lab is to develop and apply novel strategies to dissect the genetic and epigenetic basis of complex diseases, with particular focus on psychiatric disorders. Our research is focused on the question of how many genetic and environmental risk factors act in concert to create a permissive molecular environment that fosters the emergence of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and lead to treatment resistance.To address this problem, we employ a highly interdisciplinary, integrative biology approach that utilizes human pluripotent stem cell-based model systems, high throughput functional genomic screening, and big data-based machine learning, bridging the scales from genetics to patient level traits. The Ziller lab is part of the Department for Mental Health of the Medical Faculty.The overall goal of the Department is to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying psychiatric diseases and treatment resistance, rapidly utilizing these insights to develop new patient-tailored therapeutic approaches in a knowledge-driven fashion.We are looking for motivated individuals skilled in computer science / computational biology / bioinformatics with the desire to make a difference for people suffering from mental health problems. A Master´s Degree in (Bio-)Informatics / Data Science or related disciplines is desirable. The positional focus lies on the development and application of new methods to predict multi-omic traits and phenotypes from large genetic datasets. More specifically, the computational team will build on our previous work (PMID : 38951512) to establish and train deep neuronal network models on large existing datasets with multi-omic data. Subsequently, these models will be applied to clinical cohorts of individuals suffering from mental illness to perform patient stratification, discovery of new biological mechanisms, and stratified drug target identification, empowering personalized medicine in psychiatry. Experience in quantitative genetics and / or deep neural networks, R / Python / PyTorch / Tensorflow etc. is desirable.Please send your application (including the above-mentioned reference number) with all relevant information (a cover letter expressing research interests, along with a brief summary of your previous projects, including applied techniques and a complete CV) via our career site as a single PDF-file until 22.04.2025 .BENEFITSExciting ProjectsProfessional Development and TrainingInterdisciplinary CollaborationPart of Research InnovationAdditional BenefitsExciting ProjectsProfessional Development and TrainingInterdisciplinary CollaborationPart of Research InnovationAdditional Benefits(
