We have an opening in our core facility starting in March for a bioinformatician. The contract is originally for two year and thereafter becomes permanent. This is a replacement for me (I'm moving into the private sector), so please feel free to ask me if you have questions regarding the position. I should note that your colleagues are excellent and there is (institute-subsidized) child-care available across the street that's quite good (I've used it). A brief snippet of the job ad is below, with the full ad and how to apply available here: https://www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/5197180/job_full_offer_14345720
