The Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Department of Cell Biology,  
RWTH Aachen University Medical School and Helmholtz Institute for  
Biomedical Engineering, RWTH Aachen University invites applications of  
highly motivated individuals for a

PhD Student Position (Bioinformatics)

We invite applications of highly motivated individuals for a PhD  
student position on the bioinformatics of gene networks in stem cells.

The successful applicant will work in an international team and apply  
standard techniques of bioinformatics on stem cell reprogramming and  
pluripotency, stem cell specification and dendritic cell development.  
Working language is English. The position is in collaboration with the  
RWTH Graduate School Aachen Institute of Computational Engineering  
Sciences (AICES).

The Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Department of Cell Biology,  
RWTH Aachen University Medical School and Helmholtz Institute for  
Biomedical Engineering, RWTH Aachen University was established in 2003  
and studies (1) genetic programs that determine cell identity and  
developmental potential, with a focus on hematopoietic stem cells and  
their differentiated progeny, and (2) stem cell reprogramming and  
induction of pluripotency (Hacker et al., Nat. Immunol. 2003;  
Hieronymus et al., J. Immunol. 2005; Ruau et al., Stem Cells 2008; Kim  
et al., Nature 2008). AICES was established in 2007 as RWTH Graduate  
School within the Excellence Initiative of the Federal Government of  
Germany.

Qualifications and experience: The successful candidates should have  
experience with standard techniques in bioinformatics, in particular  
with gene expression profiling and data mining.

Salary will be according to TV-L scale depending on qualification. The  
position is available immediately and initially funded for 3 years, an  
extension is possible. The RWTH is an equal opportunity employer,  
committed to employ handicapped individuals and to increase the number
