丹麦哥本哈根大学招聘系统生物学方向博士后

A postdoc position is available shared between the Cellular Network Biology group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR, http://www.cpr.ku.dk) and the Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health (RTH, http://rth.dk).
CPR has been established at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, to promote basic and applied discovery research on human proteins of medical relevance. The Center comprises a wide range of expertise and resources including proteomics, protein production, bioinformatics and general characterization of disease mechanisms. The Programme for Disease Systems Biology consists of two research groups covering many systems level aspects of biology and medicine, including the integration of molecular-level data and healthcare data, for example laboratory test data and biomedical texts.
Whereas CPR focuses on proteins, RTH develops technologies, computational methods and experimental approaches for analysis of the mammalian genome for non-coding RNAs in relation to (inflammatory) diseases. The center consists of a number of national and international partners, with the core located at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.

Responsibilities and tasks
The Cellular Network Biology group (http://www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/jensen/) led by Prof. Lars Juhl Jensen focuses on large-scale biomedical data and text mining in the context of molecular networks. The postdoc will work in close collaboration with Prof. Jan Gorodkin, who heads RTH. The job involves constructing and comparing gene pathways and association networks between human and model animal for example mouse and pig. More specifically the work involves developing an enhanced orthology-based pathway comparison involving development of computational means to score the comparisons. Furthermore, as most available pathways are protein oriented, these will be extended with non-coding RNAs.
Projected start date: May 1, 2016.

Qualifications
• The candidate must hold a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) and have a strong background in systems biology/bioinformatics is required
• Experience with the UNIX shell and programming in a scripting language, such as Python or Perl, is further required
• Experience with statistical analysis of pathways and networks is an advantage
• Knowledge on molecular evolution, RNA structure, transcriptomics or proteomics is a plus
• Programming experience in other languages, especially C or C++, is also desirable
As the project is highly multidisciplinary and involves many other research groups, strong collaboration and organizational skills are important.

Place of employment and work
The work will take place 50% at CPR (http://www.cpr.ku.dk), University of Copenhagen, which is located in central Copenhagen and 50% at RTH (http://rth.dk), University of Copenhagen, which is located in Frederiksberg (only a few km away).
The research environment at both centers is ambitious and international, with many different nationalities represented. CPR 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 both centers. The selected candidate should expect some travel activity.

Terms of salary and employment
Salary, pension and terms of employment will be in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Academics Central organization. Currently, the monthly salary is around 32,000-33,700 DKK (around 4,200-4,500 €) plus 17.1 % in pension contribution.

The Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC) have agreed on a protocol that makes it possible for all international researchers employed by the University to achieve a pension exemption, where the pension will be paid as salary.
