<div dir="ltr"><h1>Two Scientific programmers at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research</h1>
<div class="">
<p>T<span>wo positions as scientific programmers are available
in the Translational Disease Systems Biology group at Novo Nordisk
Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR – </span><a href="http://www.cpr.ku.dk/"><span>www.cpr.ku.dk</span></a><span>).
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, for example laboratory test data and biomedical texts. </span></p>
<p><strong><span>Responsibilities and tasks</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The Translational Disease Systems Biology group (</span><a href="http://www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/brunak/"><span>www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/brunak/</span></a><span>)
led by Søren Brunak focuses on establishing early competitive advantage
in disease-relevant computational analysis across the general areas of
bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, systems biology and medical
informatics.</span></p>
<p><span>The work will include publicly available prediction server
construction, as well as programmatic access to remote resources.
Specifically, the tasks will include further development of existing
server side environment for SOAP Web Services.</span></p>
<p><span>The successful candidate will be aiding scientific staff in
developing efficient software and algorithmic methods as well as
improving the overall computer infrastructure and services in
disease-related applications. The candidate will be developing,
implementing and optimizing data integration methods.<br></span></p>
<p><strong><span>Qualifications</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Candidates for the positions will have following qualifications:</span></p>
<p><span>- Fluency in Perl - Strong background in SOAP and REST Web Services </span></p>
<p><span>- Fluency in English, spoken and written</span></p>
<p><span>- Optional background in life sciences and/or bioinformatics</span></p>
<p><span>Start date: Spring 2016.</span></p>
<p><span>The Translational Disease Systems Biology group is highly
multidisciplinary and collaborates with many other research groups
nationally and internationally. Strong networking and team player skills
are therefore preferred. As the candidate may run several projects in
parallel, strong organizational skills and the ability to keep an
overview are important.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Place of employment and work</span></strong></p>
