BEMÆRK: Ansøgningsfristen er overskredet
We are looking for a postdoc for a part-time (20%) term-limited (concludes 31/12/2024) position to join us in the Translational Disease Systems Biology group at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR – www.cpr.ku.dk). Expected starting date on 1 September 2023 or after agreement.
CPR comprises a wide range of expertise and resources including proteomics, protein production, general characterization of disease mechanisms, and bioinformatics. The Programme for Disease Systems Biology covers systems level aspects of biology and medicine, including the integration of molecular-level data and EHR data, such as laboratory test data, images and biomedical texts. You will be joining a group in the Programme for Disease Systems Biology (www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/brunak/) led by Professor Søren Brunak that focuses on establishing early competitive advantage in disease-relevant computational analysis across the general areas of bioinformatics, systems biology and medical informatics. We are a diverse and highly multidisciplinary group, which is dynamic and ambitious with many renowned scientific collaborations both nationally and internationally.
Your job
The postdoc will work on utilizing bioinformatics and genomic approaches to further our understanding of cardiovascular diseases. In doing so, the postdoc will utilize electronic healthcare records, genetic data, and biomedical images (ultrasounds) to investigate cardiovascular diseases and their subtypes. The postdoc will identify novel phenotypes from the high-dimensional data that are associated with cardiovascular diseases. As part of the project, the postdoc will map these phenotypes to a clinical space to produce hypotheses and outcomes with translational potential. The aim is to identify genetic and phenotypic prognostic factors for cardiovascular diseases and their subtypes. Previous experience within high-dimensional biomedical data, including biomedical images, will be an advantage.
Qualifications
Candidates for the postdoc positions must hold a PhD degree. The successful candidates are expected to have strong qualifications or proven experience within the majority of the following areas:
- Bioinformatics and computational biology, health informatics and a strong background in genetics.
- Knowledge of cardiovascular diseases
- Strong expertise in programming (R and Python).
- Solid experience with Linux/UNIX operating system, command lines and shell scripting.
- Experience with handling, quality control, and analysis of large-scale biomedical datasets such as electronic health record data or genetic data (sequencing/genotyping data) in a High-Performance Compute setting.
- Experience in handling biomedical imaging and image analysis.
- Strong relationship building ability between academic and clinical environment.
- Excellent communication skills, and fluency in written and spoken English.
Place of employment and work
The employment is at CPR (www.cpr.ku.dk), University of Copenhagen, located in central Copenhagen. The research environment at CPR is ambitious, diverse and international, with approx. 30 different nationalities currently represented. The Center comprises modern laboratories, supercomputer resources and state-of-the-art facilities within protein science. Seminars with high-profile international speakers and regular internal research seminars are organized at the Center. The selected candidate may expect some travel activity.
