At HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hildesheim/Holzminden/Göttingen, the Faculty of Engineering and Health at the Göttingen campus is seeking to fill the following fixed-term (through 2029) position in the in the Vision 2050 project as soon as possible:

Research Associate– Genomics & Molecular Biology (m/f/d)

(Salary based on E13 TV-L, full-time)

In the Vision 2050 subproject, 'Deep Visual Multiomics', we are developing an automated, end-to-end pipeline for the highly precise spatial sampling of pathological tissues, data fusion, multiomics and bioinformatic analysis. Our goal is to contextualize genetic and protein-based activity in human tissue samples and make these innovative insights accessible for personalized oncology approaches through 3D visualisation.

Are you passionate about working in an innovative, state-of-the-art laboratory and helping to contribute to its further development? We are looking for a dedicated and motivated person to actively support our team with the following everyday tasks in the lab:

• Building, establishing, and further developing experimental end-to-end workflows in the field of multiomics (sampling → processing [genomics/transcriptomics/proteomics] → quality control → documentation & analysis)
• Independently planning, performing, and analysing molecular biological and biochemical procedures as components of the multiomics pipeline:

o   Standard methods: DNA/RNA assays, PCR/qPCR, immunoprecipitation, gel electrophoresis, Western Blot

o   Cell and tissue culture (including 2D/3D systems)

o   Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): library preparation (DNA/RNA), quality control (e.g., quantification/fragment analysis), coordination of sequencing experiments (internal/external), and preliminary data analysis in close collaboration with bioinformatics

• Method validation: establishing internal standards for benchmarking, reproducibility, optimization, and standardization (SOPs)
• Acting as an intermediate between collaborators in the fields of imaging, sequencing and proteomics (mass spectrometry): handling sample and data transfer, ensuring quality interpretation and integrating this into experimental design
• Contributing to publications, reports, project communication, and guiding students and research assistants as needed

Your profile

• A completed university degree (Master’s/Diploma) or Ph.D. in natural sciences (e.g., molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, or related fields)
• Extensive practical experience with the above-mentioned molecular biological and biochemical methods
• Practical experience with NGS workflows and data analysis (DNA/RNA nanopore sequencing, Illumina sequencing)
• Experience in academic research and development is desirable
• Enthusiasm for method development and a strong motivation to establish, optimize, and systematically troubleshoot new assays
• Ability to work independently and in a structured manner, critical thinking, and a willingness to take responsibility for subprojects
• Good teamwork skills and strong communication skills in an interdisciplinary environment
• Excellent written and spoken German and English skills
