Computational Biologist; Proteomics

The Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research ( FMI ) is seeking a Computational Biologist with experience in Proteomics data analysis to join its Computational Biology Facility.

The Computational Biology Facility supports and collaborates with FMI scientists in the analysis and interpretation of large, state-of-the-art datasets to address fundamentalquestions in biomedical research. It also provides external and in-house developed analysis tools ( fmicompbio.github.io ) and offers training in programming, bioinformatics, and reproducibleresearch. The facility is a member of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and actively contributes to community projects suchas Bioconductor and Galaxy .

• Collaborate with FMI scientists to interpret, communicate, and publish results.
• Work closely with the Mass Spectrometry Facilityon advanced data analysis.
• Analyze proteomics and otherhigh-throughput omics datasets and develop new analytical approaches when needed.
• Advise scientists on experimental designand data analysis strategies.
• Teach and mentor scientists in computational biology and proteomics.

• You hold a PhD degree or can demonstrate equivalent experience in computational biology, physics, mathematics, biology or related fields, with formal training in statistics and multivariate data analysis.
• You have strong programming skills,including knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and signal processing.
• You have extensive experience analyzing and interpreting mass spectrometry data using state-of-the-art tools, and youare interested in integrating it with other data modalities, such as RNA-seqor ATAC-seq data.
• You enjoy collaborative projects, communicate results effectively, and work well with experimental biologists.
• You can work independently and are open toacquiring new skills relevant to your role.

• A competitive compensation and benefits package.
• A 3-year initial contract with the plan of transition to a permanent position.
• Opportunities to participate in scientificmeetings and attend workshops and training programs to learn new techniques.
• A dynamic, multidisciplinary, and international environment that values diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of every individual.
• A friendly, supportive, and competentteam.

The FMI is a world-class biomedical researchinstitute affiliated with the University of Basel and Novartis Biomedical Research. With an international staff of about 330 people, including more than
150 postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, the FMI conducts cutting-edge research in genome regulation, multicellular systems and neurobiology. We are located in the vibrant city of Basel, Switzerland’s third-largest city and Europe’s leading hub for the life sciences.

At the FMI, diversity is the cornerstone of innovation and collaboration. We foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute meaningfully. We welcome applicants of all genders,cultures, ethnicities, and demographics who can complement our existing team. Together,we aim to build a scientific community that reflects the diversity of thesociety we serve.
