We are offering a position for a Scientist (Post-Doc) 

with background in bioinformatics or systems biology for a collaborative 
project between the 

Institute for Biomedical Engineering -Cell Biology- at the Aachen University 
Medical School, RWTH Aachen

and the Aachen Institute for Advanced Study in Computational Engineering 
Science (AICES), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, RWTH Aachen

Regeneration and repair of organs depends on highly specialized stem cells. 
Aging of our organism has been interpreted as signs of aging in these tissue 
resident stem cells. Recent progress in cellular engineering allows 
reprogramming of somatic cells to an embryonic stem cell like phenotype, 
including pluripotency and indefinite growth. A thorough understanding of 
aging, rejuvenation and tumor formation is inevitable for future medical 
applications. 

Methoden:
Our project aims at determining gene signatures that are associated with these 
processes by an interdisciplinary integrative in silico analysis of our own 
genome-wide gene expression data in combination with further data sets from 
public repositories and employing bioinformatics tools of system biology. A 
focus will be the identification of pathways and functional modules, which are 
involved in the overlap of aging, rejuvenation and tumor formation.

Anfangsdatum: 29. September 2009

geschätzte Dauer: > 1 year

Bezahlung: TVL-E13

We are looking for a motivated and ambitious scientist with background in 
bioinformatics or systems biology. The applicant should be familiar with 
bioinformatics tools and the respective data bases, based on a good 
understanding of the respective biological processes. Experience in 
multivariate statistics and data mining would be helpful. The project has a 
strong interdisciplinary focus combining advanced data analysis and modeling 
approaches with top level biology in one of the hottest area of research. 
Therefore the candidate must be open to integrate novel methods in both areas 
in close cooperation with the project partners.   

We offer a highly interactive and well equipped environment in a team with 
national and international partners, a broad spectrum of methods and a relevant 
topic. Initial employment will be for one year (TV-L E13) on a collaborative 
project between Prof. Andreas Schuppert, Prof. Marin Zenke and Prof. Wolfgang 
Wagner. There is a possibility for further extension. 

The University RWTH Aachen supports women in science and especially encourages 
them to apply. Handicapped applicants with equal qualifications will be 
preferred.

Your application should include a cover letter, CV and copies of the most 
important certificates. It can be send by mail or by e-mail. We are looking 
forward to your application!
