Working at Charité

The Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) is dedicated to biomedical translation. Its mission is to translate research findings into personalized prevention, diagnostics, and therapies to benefit patients and provide the scientific community with effective tools. With approximately 750 employees, the BIH specializes in translational method development, precision medicine, regenerative therapies, and biomedical data science. Closely integrated with Charité, the BIH promotes excellent research and facilitates the accelerated transfer of new discoveries into clinical practice through its supporting platforms and programs. Through these efforts, the BIH builds strong partnerships and fosters innovation-driven medicine in both national and international contexts.

At the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH), the Spatial Diagnostics Platform (led by Dr. Dr. René Hägerling and Dr. Oliver Klein) is emerging as a novel platform for next-generation diagnostics. We combine state-of-the-art genomics, new sequencing technologies, spatial omics, bioinformatics, and clinical expertise to make complex molecular data usable for precision medicine. A particular focus is on spatially guided sequencing: the targeted integration of spatial tissue information with molecular genetic analysis to better understand molecular findings within their biological and clinical context. The goal is to develop new diagnostic approaches for patients with rare diseases, oncological conditions, and complex molecular disease patterns, and to translate these into clinically relevant applications.

We are seeking an experienced professional who not only evaluates molecular genetic findings but also wishes to help shape new diagnostic approaches and workflows—a specialist in human genetics. The position is to be filled as soon as possible on a fixed-term basis through December 31, 2029, on a full-time basis (40 hours per week).

What you expect

Medical, molecular genetic, and scientific interpretation of complex genomic datasets.

Interpretation of genetic data in the context of rare diseases, oncology, and complex genomic alterations.

Development, implementation, and refinement of diagnostic analysis and interpretation processes for whole-genome sequencing and new sequencing technologies.

Development of innovative diagnostic approaches for long-read sequencing, novel sequencing methods - including SbX-based approaches -, liquid biopsy, somatic mosaic disorders, and spatially guided sequencing.

Quality assurance, validation, and benchmarking of new methods against established diagnostic standards.

Translating scientific findings into robust, clinically applicable workflows within the Spatial Diagnostics Platform.

Close collaboration with experts in human genetics, pathology, oncology, bioinformatics, data science, IT, and clinical disciplines.

What bring you along

A university degree with excellent grades (state examination or equivalent) in human medicine or a related field

Successfully completed specialty training in human genetics or comparable medical training, or several years of experience in molecular g
