The German Cancer Re­search Center is the largest bio­medi­cal re­search insti­tu­tion in Germany. With more than 3,000 employees, we operate an exten­sive scien­tific program in the field of cancer research.

The DKFZ is coordinating the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (
), a national data infrastructure dedicated to human omics data. GHGA is connected to major national initiatives including the German National Cohort (

) and the National Center for Tumor Diseases (
). Internationally, GHGA serves as the German node both within the federated European Genome-Phenome Archive (
) and the European Genomics Data Infrastructure (
). The infrastructure will also play a key role in the national genomic initiative
.
As part of the future roadmap of GHGA, we are looking to expand the functionality of GHGA to establish an integrated secure processing environment, offering a flexible and scalable solution to deliver genome informatics services to major national projects and initiatives. To achieve this, we seek to extend our existing team to design, implement and operate a genome informatics platform. It will build on substantial local expertise in cloud activities developed e.g. in the context of

The new platform will be shaped specifically to address the needs of two lighthouse projects, namely the NAKO and the “ITCC (Innovative Therapy for Children with Cancer) International Data Integration Platform” coordinated at the Hopp Children's Cancer Center Heidelberg (

).
We are looking to appoint an experienced computer scientist, bioinformatician or candidate from other backgrounds with a proven track record in scientific data infrastructures. Suitable candidates will have the opportunity to lead an interdisciplinary team and to foster the conceptual and technical alignment between the NAKO and ITCC partners together with GHGA and other technical infrastructures and parties involved. The responsibilities include the development of novel technical concepts, the coordination of the software development and, where required, IT security concepts.

The position will be situated between the GHGA main office at DKFZ and the research group of Prof. Oliver Stegle (Division of Computational Genomics and Systems Genetics).
