Bioinformatician (m/f/d) for Epigenetic Networks in Aging and Cancer - The Helmholtz Institute for Biomedical Engineering - Institute for Stem Cell Biology
The job posting is for a postdoctoral position (100% TV-L E13) starting from October 2026 and is initially limited to 2,5 years.
Within the project “Transform-Me” (supported by the Else Kröner-Fresenius Stiftung), we are investigating how epigenetic changes, particularly DNA methylation patterns, are coordinated across the genome. We anticipate these modifications are coherently modified in trans within epigenetic networks. We want to identify modules and hubs that are co-regulated in aging, development, and particularly in malignant transformation. Furthermore, we aim to modulate these epigenetic networks by epigenetic editing. We are looking for a bioinformatician with a strong background in epigenetic characterization of cell preparations with focus on DNA methylation. We are integrating own and public EPIC Illumina Bead Chip datasets, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, nanopore, and single cell DNAm sequencing datasets.
For specific questions, please contact Prof. Wolfang Wagner.​​​

Postdoctoral Position investigating senescence in prostate cancer
UMass Chan Medical School, USA
A postdoctoral research position is available in the laboratory of Marcus Ruscetti, Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School in Worcester, MA, USA to work on an NIH R37 funded project investigating the contribution of oncogene-induced and age-related stromal senescence to prostate cancer onset and immune suppression using innovative mouse modeling and single cell/spatial transcriptomic approaches. Our long-term goal is to translate our basic understanding of how senescence biology regulates critical tumor-immune interactions into the development of novel senolytic strategies to treat cancer patients.
To apply, please send a cover letter and CV to Dr. Marcus Ruscetti by September 1 2026.​​​
