We are looking for a master/bachelor student with a strong background in programming and knowledge in object-oriented programming to support the development of an end-to-end project consisting of a Bioinformatics CLI, Rest API, and WebApp. Working hours are flexible by prior arrangement.

  About us 

The professorship of Translational Microbiome Data Integration at the Technical University of Munich is located in Freising-Weihenstephan. The research of our lab focuses on the human microbiome, especially gut microbes, and investigates mechanisms of host-microbial interactions in health and disease. We are particular interested in the role of the microbiome in inflammatory and auto-immune diseases and how hormone-microbiome interactions impact female health. To address these questions, we use bioinformatics with a focus on integrated multi-omics analyses (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metabolomics) combined with the subsequent isolation of the strains in the lab to further study these mechanisms.

Tasks

You will use current industry tools and best practices, while solving interesting bioinformatics problems in the context of our ongoing research projects. In addition to gaining experience in software engineering, you will also learn about microbiome data and bioinformatic analyses of multi-omics data.

• Write functions to retrieve, process, and visualize data using Python 
• Design and implement REST APIs using java and Spring Boot 
• Design and implement a Web App using javascript and ReactJS 
  

Requirements

• Proficient using linux and bash commands 
• Good understanding of object oriented programming 
• Proficient in reading and writing code in Python 
• Additional experiences:
  • Experience developing REST APIs in Java and SpringBoot is a plus
  • Experience developing web applications with JavaScript and ReactJS is a plus
  • Knowledge of Docker and MongoDB is a plus
