pathway analysis. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to
work on the integration and meta-analysis of large-scale proteomics
data with a particular focus on the development of algorithms,
databases and associated methods and tools.

The successful candidate will work primarily at the Chair of
Proteomics and Bioanalytics in Freising near Munich but will also
interact very closely with scientists at SAP.

combined degrees in computer science and a biological science,
statistics, mathematics). Computer programming skills (perl/python,
Java, R) and the ability to manage IT systems are essential. Strong
