Postdoctoral Researcher in Genomics and Computational Medicine

The mission of the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) is medical translation: transferring biomedical research findings into novel approaches to personalized prediction, prevention, diagnostics and therapies and, conversely, using clinical observations to develop new research ideas. The aim is to deliver relevant medical benefits to patients and the population at large. Since 2021 the BIH has been integrated into Charité as its so-called third pillar.

For the Computational Medicine group, we are looking for a full-time

Postdoctoral Researcher (d/w/m) in Genomics and Computational Medicine
