The Multiple Myeloma Research Laboratory (Dr. Dirk Hose) of the Multiple Myeloma Section (Prof. Dr. Hartmut Goldschmidt), Department of Internal Medicine V and National Center for Tumor Diseases at the Heidelberg University Hospital, in cooperation with the group of Wolfgang Huber at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) invites applications for the position of a Bioinformatician (full-time). The position is initially limited to one year, extension envisaged. We provide the opportunity to obtain a doctorate degree.
 
The Multiple Myeloma Research Laboratory focusses on the development of prognostic factors and novel therapeutics in the treatment of multiple myeloma, a malignant plasma cell disease which is still rarely curable. Dr. Huber’s group works on the development of statistical and bioinformatics methods in genomic analysis.
