丹麦哥本哈根大学诺和诺德基金会蛋白质研究中心细胞网络生物学方向博士后职位

Job Description

A postdoc position is available in the Cellular Network Biology group at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR – www. cpr.ku.dk). The Center 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, including biomedical texts.

Responsibilities and tasks

The Cellular Network Biology group (www. cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems- biology/jensen/) led by Lars Juhl Jensen focuses on network-based analysis of proteins and their posttranslational modifications in the context of cellular signaling and disease. The postdoc will work on developing and applying advanced data mining methods for analysis of protein-centric biological networks. This includes applying network embedding techniques to the STRING protein interaction database and associated resources to predict, for example, associations to biological processes or diseases of interest. The resulting methods will in collaboration with other group members be integrated into existing tools, such as STRING or Cytoscape, and the software will be made available under open licenses.

Projected start date: Late 2020.

Qualifications

Candidates for the postdoctoral positions must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) within a relevant discipline and have strong programming experience. The successful candidates will have strong qualifications or experience within several of the following areas:

  Network analysis

  Biomedical ontologies

  Machine learning / deep learning

  Statistical data mining

  Bioinformatics / computational biology

  Programming in Python and/or Java

The cellular network biology group is highly multidisciplinary and international. Members are expected to collaborate both within the group, within the center, nationally, and internationally; strong networking and team player skills are therefore valued.

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 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 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 34,650 DKK / approx. 4,640 € (April 2020-level) plus 17.1 % in pension contribution. Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated.

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.
