Research Scientist / Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/d)

The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association aims to transform tomorrow’s medicine through our discoveries of today. At locations in Berlin-Buch, Berlin-Mitte, Heidelberg and Mannheim, our researchers harness interdisciplinary collaboration to decipher the complexities of disease at the systems level – from molecules and cells to organs and the entire organism. Through academic, clinical, and industry partnerships, as well as global networks, we strive to translate biological discoveries into applications that enable the early detection of deviations from health, personalize treatment, and ultimately prevent disease. First founded in 1992, the Max Delbrück Center today inspires and nurtures a diverse talent pool of 1,800 people from over 70 countries. We are 90 percent funded by the German federal government and 10 percent by the state of Berlin. The Ohler Research Group at the Max Delbrück Center (MDC) investigates the complex mechanisms of gene regulation and develops innovative approaches to deciphering and modeling gene regulatory networks. By combining state-of-the-art high-throughput genomics with machine learning, we aim to gain new insights into molecular processes and their regulatory interactions. To strengthen our interdisciplinary research team, we are looking for a highly motivated Research Scientist / Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/d) with a strong background in computational analysis of molecular data. We welcome enthusiastic and curious researchers who are eager to apply innovative methods, tackle challenging scientific questions, and actively contribute to the advancement of our research projects. ### **Job Description** * **Development of Innovative AI Models:** Design, develop, and implement generative machine learning models to analyze and integrate complex omics datasets. * **Exploring Gene Regulatory Mechanisms:** Apply explainable artificial intelligence (Explainable AI) to gain deeper insights into regulatory processes at the DNA and RNA levels. * **Analysis of Complex Molecular Data:** Analyze and integrate high-dimensional multi-omics data, particularly from single-cell analyses and massively parallel reporter assays. * **Experimental Validation:** Apply and validate computational research findings in human cell lines or animal models to investigate the effects of genetic variations. * **Interdisciplinary Research:** Collaborate closely with experimental and computational scientists to design, plan, and conduct innovative research projects focused on gene regulation. * **Integration of Scientific Insights:** Work with team members and collaborating research groups to integrate, analyze, and interpret data from diverse sources. * **Scientific Communication:** Present and discuss research findings at internal and external meetings, as well as national and international scientific conferences. * **Scientific Publications:** Actively contribute to the preparation and publication of research a
