postdoc position is available in the Cellular Network Biology group at
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR – <a href="http://www.cpr.ku.dk">www.cpr.ku.dk</a>).
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.</p>

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 development of advanced
methods for protein-centric text mining of large corpora, including
combining efficient dictionary-based named entity-recognition with
conditional random fields and classification based on word embedding.
The resulting improved methods will in collaboration with other group
members be integrated into STRING (<a href="http://string-db.org">http://string-db.org</a>) and related databases/tools, and the software will be made available under open licenses.</p>
