瑞典兰德大学招聘计算基因组生物信息学博士后

The Nilsson Lab at Lund University specializes in combining mathematics and genomics to understand blood disorders and blood cell formation. Computational models are developed to identify therapeutic targets, and to explore the genetic basis of blood disorders. The team includes computer scientists, clinicians, and molecular biologists working closely together.

We are currently looking for a highly motivated postdoc with a background in computational genomics, particularly analysis of next-generation sequencing and/or genome-wide association data. The successful applicant will explore new methods and data to identify regulators of blood cell formation and function in humans.

Lund University has one of the leading hematology research environments in Europe. The environment involves some 200 researchers at the Biomedical Center (BMC), and is equipped with multiple technical platforms to support cutting-edge research in hematology. This project will synergize with other hematology-oriented efforts in Lund, including a major project funded by Knut and Alice Wallenberg’s Foundation. The group is a part of the core of the newly formed Lund University Medical Bioinformatics Infrastructure.

Qualifications required
Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant subject, and must have solid experience in computational biology/genomics, preferably with applications to human biology.
