Job description
We are looking for an enthusiastic research assistant to join the team of the ERC project “STRUCTOMATIC” and play an important role in (i) designing and maintaining the lab’s high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure including compute cluster setup and maintenance, and scientific software installation, (ii) developing and running bioinformatics pipelines for processing large-scale human genome data, and (iii) assisting and training lab members in use of lab’s HPC resources (cluster, storage) and supercomputing.

Our research
The Supek group is home to a highly interdisciplinary team, working at the intersection of genomics, molecular biology, and artificial intelligence. In our studies, we are striving for excellence and impact – we aim to do science that pushes the boundaries of knowledge, and that benefits human health and development. The lab employs cutting-edge technologies in DNA/RNA sequencing (e.g. Nanopore data generation and analysis), gene editing (e.g. Cas12a combinatorial disruption) and artificial intelligence (e.g. DNA and protein language models).

In addition to focus on high-impact research projects (ERC “HYPER-INSIGHT”, ERC “STRUCTOMATIC”), the Supek group also has a broad network of international collaborators across Europe (see e.g. EU Horizon consortia “DECIDER” and “LUCIA”, where we study ovarian and lung cancer genomes, respectively). The lab fosters a dynamic atmosphere where excitement about science is valued. We are highly committed to mentoring and career development of all our members.

  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams.
  • Very good English skills, written and spoken.

Desirable experience and skills:

  • Experience in designing and administering a local compute cluster: Linux sysadmin; software installation (Conda environments, containers); SLURM workload manager administration.
  • Experience in managing network storage (e.g. Isilon or NetApp or Synology).
  • Experience in maintaining and running scientific computing software, particularly in genomics/bioinformatics, and with relevant pipelines (e.g Nextflow or Snakemake or Galaxy).
  • Experience with use of supercomputers and/or cloud computing (Google Cloud or AWS).
