Postdocs, Professionals

Your responsibilities

Biomedical imaging and sensing generate vast amounts of sensitive data, which need to be transferred, stored, and curated efficiently and in accordance with legal and technical requirements. The successful candidate will work closely with our clinical and computational research groups as well as the data centers of Helmholtz Munich and TUM to establish and manage a new workflow for data transfer, cataloging and storage, standardization, and access.

The task requires a strong understanding of technical and legal requirements with respect to handling large amounts of potentially sensitive personal and medical data. Furthermore, you will be responsible for data safety and handling in compliance with national and international regulatory and funding agencies (e.g. EU, DFG, federal and state ministries). You will work closely with IBMI’s IT administrator to align our database with IBMI’s IT infrastructure.

Based on your personal aptitude and time capacity, once the core task has been completed, there will be the opportunity to drive your own research projects as a data scientist within the scope of IBMI’s research agenda.

Your qualifications

The successful applicant must have the following:

Bachelor or Master (and possibly a PhD) degree in computational science, biomedical computing, or a related discipline.
Excellent track record, strong motivation, scientific curiosity, and commitment to excellence.
Expert knowledge and hands-on experience in handling large scientific datasets, procedures for data handling and protection within relevant legal frameworks (e.g. GDPR).
Strong background in database establishment and management tools (e.g. MySQL), operating systems (e.g. Linux OS) and languages (e.g. BASH).
Team player skills and enthusiasm to work in a multi-disciplinary, collaborative environment.
Excellent command of English and German.
